Summary
From the 2023 Purple Patch Training Camp in Kona, Matt delivers a special on-the-road episode exploring the vital role of training and supporting habits in broader life and work performance.
Matt sits down with Purple Patch executive athletes attending the Hawaii training camp to discuss the parallels between their individual athletic journeys and their journeys in leadership within their own organizations.
They share the personal challenges they face as time-starved athletes and provide insight into how they apply performance habits in training, sleep, recovery, and nutrition to set up a framework of success to thrive as a business executive, parent, partner and athlete.
What emerges from the discussions are individual portraits of sustainable high performance and the supporting habits each uses in their athletic and leadership journeys.

| 0:13.0 | Through the lens of athletic potential, you reach your human potential. |
| 0:17.0 | The purpose of this podcast is to help time-starved people everywhere integrate sport into life. |
| 0:24.9 | Hey guys, Matt Dixon, and just before we get going with the show, which today is a very interesting |
| 0:30.8 | one, I've got five guests on the show. Yes, each of them are C-level executives, and all of them |
| 0:36.4 | were a perfect example, at least in my book, |
| 0:38.6 | of what I might label a performance executive. And what I mean by that, it is those that are |
| 0:43.5 | successfully integrating an athletic journey into their life to actually help amplify not just |
| 0:49.8 | their health, not just their fitness, but also how they show up in the workplace. We've got some |
| 0:54.5 | fantastic guests to join us in here as I am actually stationed at the Hawaii training camp |
| 1:00.7 | put on by Purple Patch every year and these are some of my victims, as we might say. Well, each of |

| 1:41.3 | a code for you. Use Purple Patch Pro 20 20 and that gives you 20% of everything at the |
| 1:47.0 | store. If it's good enough for these folks you're going to listen to today, well, I reckon it's |
| 1:51.1 | good enough for you. Now, let's get on with the show. It's a cracker. I hope you enjoy. |
