In today’s episode, I talk to professional cyclist, Ryan Gibbons.   Ryan is a 29-year-old National Champion cyclist from South Africa, competing right now with the UAE Emirates Team.    His pro career started when he was 21, but he didn’t even know you could get paid for riding a bike at the time!! He took his chance to go pro because it paid basically the same as a good corporate job in South Africa at the time, and how he’s raced all around the world in competitions like the Tour de France and the Olympics.   Check out Ryan on Instagram and Twitter @RyanGibbons23, and you can even follow his bike rides on Strava @RyanGibbons.   If you’ve ever wanted to learn about the not-so-glamorous life of a pro cyclist, you’ll love this episode.   In this conversation, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things: - Why he consumes the sugar equivalent of 4 Coca-Colas per HOUR (!!!) - The one thing he WON’T do to become a better cyclist - And the KEY difference that separates amateur and pro cyclists   Enjoy those 3 things… plus a bunch more ear nuggets along the way.   📚 Become part of the pre-launch team for my new book!

In today’s episode, I talk to best-selling author and YouTuber, Tiago Forte. After years of struggling with a chronic illness that no specialists could find a cure for, Tiago created his own process to research, collect, and organize information so he could figure out how to live a healthier and pain-free life. That experience led him to write his first best-selling book Building a Second Brain, which helped Silicon Valley businesses, NASA scientists, and everyday people just like yourself reach their greatest potential.  Now, Tiago has published his second book, The PARA Method: a simple and intuitive four-step system that helps us sort all the information flooding our brains from the digital world so we can live better, smarter, and more fulfilled lives. You can check out the PARA method at www.ForteLabs.com/Books If you’ve ever wanted to learn about how best-selling books BECOME best-sellers, you’ll love this episode. In this conversation, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things: How long it ACTUALLY takes for non-fiction books to hit peak popularity (it’s WAY longer than you think) What is the REAL money-maker when you write a book And the ONE critical promotional tactic that all authors miss out on!  Enjoy those 3 things… plus a bunch more ear nuggets along the way. 📚 Become part of the pre-launch team for my new book!
