Entrepreneur Sam Parr on the Longevity Lifestyle: Running, Weightlifting, and Living to 130

Entrepreneur Sam Parr on the Longevity Lifestyle: Running, Weightlifting, and Living to 130

Sam Parr founded The Hustle in 2014, a business newsletter that he grew to over 3 million readers (and 8 figures in revenue) before selling it to Hub Spot. His most recent company, Hampton, is a membership community for entrepreneurs, founders and CEOs. Sam also hosts the incredibly popular business podcast called My First Million.

In high school and college, Sam ran competitively at a variety of distances, and has completed several half ironman triathlons. While running is no longer his primary focus, he sets quarterly fitness goals that have pushed him to some pretty incredible accomplishments. Last year he completed the same tests as the NFL combine, scoring as well as an average wide receiver.

Sam and I discuss how he balances his work with his fitness and longevity aspirations, and how he tracks just about every area of his life to keep improving.

Our discussion covers:

  • Sam's background in running and how it has evolved
  • His love for the simplicity and suffering of individual sports
  • How Sam's wife helped turn his focus toward wellness and nutrition
  • Why he uses coaching for so many different aspects of his life
  • How Sam uses goal setting to hit remarkable achievements
  • What he does on a daily basis to promote his health
  • Challenges Sam is contemplating for 2024

If you're looking for inspiration in the new year, Sam's story is incredibly motivating. Enjoy!

Thank You Previnex!

After resisting most supplements for the better part of my life, I'm cautiously changing my tune. I'm now a Masters runner and in my personal life, I'm optimizing for longevity. I want to be my healthiest self for as long as possible and I'm excited to partner with Previnex to make that happen.

Previnex uses the most bioavailable, clinically tested ingredients, the optimal form and dose of each ingredient, pharmaceutical grade manufacturing, testing of raw ingredients and finished products. For every purchase you make, they also donate vitamins to kids in need.

Their new Muscle Health Plus is something I'm now taking. Turning 40 - and having a thin frame - has made me realize that I need to prioritize lean muscle mass to stay healthy and age well. Muscle Health Plus has creatine, essential and branched chain amino acids, and it's designed in a way to maximize protein synthesis and the absorption of amino acids.

With clinically proven ingredients, I hope you'll try it. Use code jason15 for 15% off your order at Previnex!
