Summary

You can't run marathons after 50! You can't change your career after you've invested so much time and energy into it! Dads don't get all up in their feelings! Says who? Our pasts, our brains, our lack of understanding, that's who! Tony explores the psychology of limiting beliefs and how the stories we learn in our youth can heavily influence how we live life...until we realize we have an unlimited amount of possibility in front of us once we lose the limiting beliefs.

0:00.0	So I recently turned 53, and I have never really been one who cares much about age as a number.
0:06.5	No offense to my dad, but when he turned 50 to me at that time, I think I was in my late 20s.
0:10.8	Well, 50 was really old, but here I sit at 53 and I feel good. I feel pretty amazing.
0:15.5	And a couple of weeks ago, my wife and I completed a half marathon.
0:19.4	As I shared a couple episodes ago, it was a really good
0:22.6	experience. But one of the most fascinating parts of that half marathon experience happened actually
0:27.6	about eight weeks before the race. So let me take you back a few years. There's a website called
0:32.5	ultra signup.com where you can view the results of your ultramarathons or races over the marathon distance of
0:39.3	26.2 miles. So the last few race results for me read the Havillina 100-miler, which was in Arizona,
0:46.4	then the Western States 100-miler, which happened to be the third time that I had run that race
0:50.7	from Lake Tahoe down to Auburn, California, then a random 50K in Sacramento,
0:56.0	then the Tahoe Rim Trail 100-mile, which was the second time I had run that race,
1:00.1	followed by the Quad-Dipsey race in the Bay Area in California. And if you're not familiar with
1:04.3	the Dipsy Trail, it is a 7.1 mile, incredibly hilly, stair-filled race from Mill Valley, California down to Sensen Beach. It's beautiful,
1:12.0	and it's hard. And every year, I used to do the quad dipsy, or 28.4 miles. So down and back and
1:18.1	back. And again, incredibly hard and wonderful and beautiful. And then I broke a rib or two. And I
1:23.9	separated the ribs from the cartilage. And if you've ever done that, that hurt so bad. I did that playing
1:29.9	basketball. So I was out for several months and I was on my way to returning to 100 milers and I did
1:35.5	100K in Julian, California that was absolutely difficult and wonderful and beautiful. And shortly after that,
1:43.1	again, playing basketball, I tore my meniscus
1:46.0	and I tried to run through it. The old just ignore it and hopefully it'll go away. And I got to the
1:52.2	point that I couldn't even bend my knee or move. And I did that for almost a year where I just
