Summary

Today, through the case study of a Purple Patch athlete, Matt outlines a recipe for energy, success, and the ability to be the best person you can be even if you would never profess to be an athlete.

In fact, you don't have to be an athlete to adopt an athletic mindset. You don't even have to aspire to be athletic. What you do need is the desire to excel, thrive, and be the best version of yourself.

Matt outlines his thoughts around structuring success and performance around:

Work
Training
Your Personal Rejuvenation Habits

Get this recipe right and you will thrive in the broader scheme of life. You may not be a world-class athlete, but you are world-class performer.

This episode will challenge you to look for opportunities to shift and refine your approach.

0:00.0	I'm Matt Dixon and welcome to the Purple Patch podcast.
0:03.5	The mission of Purple Patch is to empower and educate every human being to reach their athletic potential.
0:09.3	Through the lens of athletic potential, you reach your human potential.
0:13.3	The purpose of this podcast is to help time-starved people everywhere in a great sport into life.
0:19.8	And welcome to the Purple Patch podcast as ever ever, your host, Matt Dixon.
0:25.3	And this week, we're going to go through one of my famous, or maybe not quite so famous, case studies.

0:48.4	we're going to stray away from athletics today and discuss an approach of how we thrive in
0:52.5	broader life. You see, the outcomes that we want
0:56.0	can be very different from the athlete. It's typically highly goal-driven and very specific. I want to
1:02.1	qualify for Kona. I want to finish a marathon. I want to beat my buddy John. He's an ass when he wins.
1:08.8	But life performance can be a little bit more random.
1:12.6	But ultimately, we should be outcome driven.
1:17.4	Now, it might be body composition, health, energy, performance in the workplace.
1:22.3	But today, we're going to talk about performance through the lens of a case study who has no aspiration to compete.
1:29.2	He certainly doesn't want to be labelled that athlete thing. We're going to talk about John,
1:33.9	a real mate, and ultimately, in my mind, an athlete. But we help John thrive in life and the
1:43.0	workplace.
1:47.2	But before we dive in, let's do that jingle-fingle. We like the way he thinks, serious with a wink.
1:51.6	Let's open the book.
