KIMEcast Ep. 45 – High Performance, Process over Ego, and Living Like an Athlete with Brad Kearns

In this episode, Tony sits down with athlete, author, and performance coach Brad Kearns to talk about everything from professional triathlon to mindset, recovery, and redefining success in sport and life.

Brad shares stories from his nine-year pro career, the mindset that helped him go from accountant to elite triathlete, and how a process-driven approach helped him outperform more experienced competitors. They dive into the value of training for personal bests, not ego-driven outcomes, and why the best athletes—like Steph Curry, Tiger Woods, and Lance Armstrong—back their confidence with relentless preparation.

The episode also explores:

  • The downsides of early specialization and overtraining

  • Why recovery is as important as training (especially for high achievers)

  • The truth about sports nutrition, metabolic health, and Brad’s "Two Meals a Day" philosophy

  • Why most athletes (and professionals) carry more cumulative stress than they realize

  • How mental clarity and emotional discipline make the difference at the top level

Whether you're a clinician, coach, or competitor, this episode is packed with real stories and insights on how to think, train, and recover like a true high performer.
