Thanks for checking out the Nik Hawks Show, where my general mandate is to follow the pursuit of excellence. 

My background is in business, adventure, the military, athletic challenges, and working with world class athletes.

Those are all starting points for my guests, though not always.  I've talked to cryptographers, sleep scientists, authors, reporters, climbers, and adventurers.

All of them have useful insight for YOU, which is the reason I make the show public.  

Whether we're talking about cryptocurrency or rowing a boat across the Atlantic, my idea was to share the conversations I was having with radical people.  Lately I've been adding in my own thoughts in separate Nik-i-sodes.

HISTORY

I started this podcast in 2014, but it wasn't called The Nik Hawks Show. My wife Lee and I own the company Paleo Treats, so I called the show the Paleo Treats Podcast.

Over the course of 50+ episodes it became apparent that the podcast didn’t really have anything to do with Paleo. Sometime around episode 58, based on feedback from listeners and iTunes reviews, I decided to change the name to reflect what I was actually talking about.

That should catch you up to speed for now.

Thanks for listening!

Of all the paths to excellence, perhaps the most reliable is one based on the importance of personal responsibility.  In this podcast, Brian Mackenzie from CrossFit Endurance shares with us what drove him from being a broken down ex-swimmer getting crushed on the run sections of the triathlon to one of the foremost minds in cross training for endurance.

From running technique to eating habits to mindset and the importance of raw strength, Brian goes through the various and winding paths that brought him to being one of the most well respected coaches in CrossFit and the endurance world.

Whether it's the way you breathe, pick up your foot when you run, or what you spear with your fork, Brian's mantra of personal responsibility for one's own actions comes through loud and clear in this podcast.

If you'd like to learn more about Brian and what he does please pop on over to CrossFit Endurance, or follow him on Twitter or fuel up with 3FU3L (primal, not paleo) for more on his approach and coaching strategy.

Enjoy the show!
