046: The Power of Compounding Consistencies & Purposeful Practice with 2x Ironman Eric Hinman

In this episode of The Modern Man, I welcome Eric Hinman, an entrepreneur, CrossFit & Endurance Athlete, and 2x Kona Ironman, to share his best tips and insights on being more consistent and purpose-driven in any area of life.

Listen in as Eric sheds light on his journey to becoming an Ironman and why he started training for a triathlon after getting out of shape (even when his doctor told him not to compete). He shares his daily routine, the lessons he's learned from 14+ years of habit stacking, and even a few tips for increasing your endurance and cardiovascular health.

"The overarching theme is compounding consistencies… and purposeful practice. To get to that point, I think you need to build some mental grit around whatever it is you want to achieve."
