Summary

While Matt is on holiday, we replay one of his favorite episodes - "AARP Anarchists and Still Crushing It" featuring Purple Patch Masters Athletes, Rick Wimmer and Ken Pagliughi.

“The list of what I want to accomplish continues to grow,” says 65-year-old Purple Patch athlete, Rick Wimmer. “Society expects people to retire, but this is how I get the most out of life!”

Maintaining a growth mindset is everything - at any age. In this episode, recorded on location at the recent Purple Patch Training Camp in South Carolina, Matt converses with two Purple Patch Masters athletes, Rick Wimmer and Ken Pagliughi, about their recipes for success and longevity in sport and life.

Both are highly successful individuals — Rick was a partner at Ernst and Young for 35 years, Ken a District Attorney in New Jersey — but they also continue to thrive and improve in their athletics, health, and mindset. With Rick at 65 and Ken at 72, they both have so much more to accomplish and refuse to settle for stagnation.

This conversation is packed full of humor, personal anecdotes, inspiration, and education for athletes of all ages. You, too, can develop a path to longevity and excellence at any age as long as you maintain a growth mindset and choose to evolve.

Have a plan, don’t settle for less, be willing to reinvent yourself, and as Ken jokingly says, “Don’t Screw It Up!”

0:00.0	I'm Matt Dixon and welcome to the Purple Patch podcast. The mission of Purple Patch is to empower and educate every human being to reach their athletic potential. Through the lens of athletic potential, you reach your human potential. The purpose of this podcast is to help time-starved people everywhere integrate sport into life.
0:19.9	And welcome to the Purple Patch podcast. This is, as ever your
0:23.5	host, Matt Dixon. And this week, well, something a little different. I'm feeling a little lazy.
0:30.5	I need a little bit of space. I need my creative juices to start to flow again. And, well, in honesty, we're traveling. And so we're
0:40.7	going to take a pass this week. We're going to give ourselves in the vein of the recovery coach
0:45.4	a little bit of an opportunity to just be. But at the same time, what I actually really want to do
0:52.1	was dig into the vault and go and find one of my
0:54.9	favorite episodes with recorded. And if you've been listening for a long time, you might have
0:59.5	listened to this before, but it is very, very special. It was titled the AARP Anacus, and it was a
1:07.4	conversation that I had with two Purple Patch athletes, Ken Pellucci and Rick Wimmer.
1:14.3	And the reason we want to bubble this up to the surface is because I think it has so much information and so many lessons in the reasons for doing sport.
1:23.1	And ultimately, whether you're a pro chasing for the world championship or someone that's just aspirational,
1:28.9	that doesn't compete at all, but it's looking to thrive in life,
1:32.1	these two gentlemen personify so many lessons of what it means to participate in sport,
1:37.4	and ultimately the quest of self-improvement and excellence.
1:41.9	And I want to bring it up and re-listen to it once again, because in a
1:46.1	couple of months, we're going to revisit this. And in fact, we might even revisit it with one of
1:51.4	these two characters and characters they are. When you listen to the episode, you're going to
1:57.0	hear so much of the personality come out, so much humor come out. You can imagine what it was like sitting around the table and how fun this conversation was.
2:05.7	But more than that, how fun the conversations were wrapped around this episode and show.
2:11.7	And so we're going to take a hall pass this week.
2:14.3	We're going to step out, enjoy a little rejuvenation, restore, refresh, and come back
