Summary

Evolve or Die. A Favorite Purple Patch quote. The concept is anchored in the resistance of falling into a fixed mindset and it is a relentless curiosity to seek ways to improve.

Change is never easy. No matter our situation, the easiest path is to fall into familiar, but to thrive, we must be equipped to change, willing to evolve, and open to developing the bravery and resilience to pursue improvement.

0:00.0	I'm Matt Dixon and welcome to the Purple Patch podcast. The mission of Purple Patch is to empower and
0:05.8	educate every human being to reach their athletic potential. Through the lens of athletic potential,
0:11.5	you reach your human potential. The purpose of this podcast is to help time-starved people everywhere
0:17.2	integrate sport into life. And welcome to the Purple Patch podcast.
0:22.6	This is, as ever, your host Matt Dixon.
0:26.3	And let me ask you with a question to start off today's show.
0:30.2	Do you know that animals know that you have to change to survive?
0:35.0	Did you know that the green lizards in Florida have grown extra sticky feet
0:39.3	in just the last 15 years? That was when they were invaded by brown lizards and they abandoned
0:46.1	the thick lower branches of trees and went on to live in the thin high branches, all aided, of course,
0:51.9	by, yes, those sticky feet. Now some of you might be resistant
0:56.8	to change. Most people don't handle it well. Few of us thrive in chaos or shining shifting
1:03.8	pathways. Most of us like to sink into familiar couch or slip on a pair of comfortable shoes
1:09.7	even if we're attracted by the concept of change.
1:14.4	And there's nothing wrong with this, except that the world is changing, even if we don't like it.
1:21.5	And to improve in performance, we must evolve.
1:26.4	It isn't realistic if we want to stretch their own bounds of our
1:30.3	own performance. And there's a famous purple patch saying, evolve or die. Well today, we go through
1:37.8	case studies, all in a shift and approach athletically that made a seismic shift in growth and performance. None were
1:45.8	easy, but all provided the performance yield to navigate change and turn it into a positive.
1:53.4	So I ask you this, are you changeable? Well, to survive? No, but to thrive, you have to be. So let's investigate it in today's show.
2:06.4	But first, before we crack on, let's have a quick insider on last week's Iron Man 70.3 World Championships.
