    Protecting Your Principles: Season 2, Episode 1

    The Find Your Grit podcast is back after our hiatus for Season 2: The New Chapter. In our first episode, "Protecting Your Principles," I dive into my personal journey of understanding, protecting, and honoring my own values. I share my reflections and lessons learned about the significance of making honest decisions, even when they lead to difficult reactions. I talk about my experience of breaking free from false beliefs about self-worth and the challenges of meeting others where they are. Through my story, I explore the necessity of maintaining boundaries, the clarity that comes from living a life rooted in values, and the transformative power of self-respect and resilience. This was my journey to live authentically and embrace the freedom that comes with it. Connect with Find Your Grit: Instagram: @GrantTaylorFitness Website: www.findyourgrit.com

    Episode 011: Endurance, Resilience, and the Power of Suffering with Nick Pelletier

    In this episode of Find Your Grit, we have the honor of sitting down with Ultra Endurance Athlete Nick Pelletier, whose life and experiences redefine the concept of grit. Nick has completed multiple impressive feats of endurance, including a bike across America, Mexico, multiple ultra races, triathlons, but most notably his 116km (72 mile) swim nonstop across Lake Okanagan in Canada. During this raw and honest conversation, Nick also shares his perspective on suffering and hardship, both ones out of our control, but also how self-imposed challenges can lead to rapid personal growth and development. Hear about the grueling challenges Nick faced during his 113-kilometer swim, and how he navigated physical exhaustion, hallucinations, and the unpredictability of open waters. Whether you’re a fellow athlete, or someone looking to grow more mentally resilient and test your limits, this conversation aims to understand the power of the human spirit, and learn how to apply these lessons to everyday life. Through their recent collaboration, Nick and Grant’s stories are a testament to the fact that with grit and determination, you can overcome almost anything. Instagram: @npadventure
