About this listen
Do you need help finding clarity in reaching your goals and discovering purpose in life?
Are you hungry for more and still can’t decipher how to get to the next level?
This endless search without answers had me thinking depressingly for years.
“If your goals are not scaring you, set the bar higher." (JD Tremblay)
I have never resonated with a quote that captures my life’s motto so accurately. Consequently, I had to perform exceedingly above the average norm to reach the point where my purpose began to invigorate my hunger for more.
Fear can be an intense stimulus to energize your hunger or can cripple you. Despite countless undesired setbacks, I have always strived for extra.
Who will be your guide as you navigate toward a solution to these vital decisions?
I am JD Tremblay, a finisher of some of the world's most extreme triathlons, including the Epicdeca. Here to share with you that it’s acceptable to have lofty ambitions if you put the effort in the right direction. Setting high objectives should daunt you. However, they should also provide a driving force to achieve whatever you prearranged for yourself. In this book, you will find how I overcame some of my challenges to be one of only three athletes worldwide to complete the Epicdeca, and most importantly, how you can flip my experiences into fuel for your journey.
I put my body and mind beyond demanding adversities to eventually triumph over them and be able to impart this wisdom through this concise manuscript. No worries! I learned that personal struggles come and go; the key is to yearn for knowledge and growth.
Join me on this voyage, and explore how you can cultivate a hunger for success that may bring about amazing transformations in your life.

Is Bigger Leaner Stronger a body building book that can help you pack on brain-shrinking amounts of muscle in 30 days flat? No. Is it a fitness nutrition book full of dubious diet and exercise “hacks” and “shortcuts” for melting belly fat faster than a roided hornet? Absolutely not.

On the playing field, natural talent isn’t enough—there’s a mental component that determines whether athletes win the race or wipe out before the finish line. But what separates standout sports stars from the rest? In a paradigm-shifting new theory, acclaimed sportswriter Matt Fitzgerald identifies two key traits behind athletic success: strict self-regulation over thoughts and emotions and an unquenchable psychological need to pursue victory—even when it means enduring extreme mental and physical suffering.

The bestselling fitness book for men who want to gain 25-35 pounds of lean muscle and lose as much fat or more in just 3-5 hours per week—and without giving up delicious foods or doing grueling workouts. Is Bigger Leaner Stronger a body building book that can help you pack on brain-shrinking amounts of muscle in 30 days flat? No. Is it a fitness nutrition book full of dubious diet and exercise “hacks” and “shortcuts” for melting belly fat faster than a roided hornet? Absolutely not.

On the playing field, natural talent isn’t enough—there’s a mental component that determines whether athletes win the race or wipe out before the finish line. But what separates standout sports stars from the rest? In a paradigm-shifting new theory, acclaimed sportswriter Matt Fitzgerald identifies two key traits behind athletic success: strict self-regulation over thoughts and emotions and an unquenchable psychological need to pursue victory—even when it means enduring extreme mental and physical suffering.

In Wildlife Wars, Terry Grosz serves up fascinating stories - alternately hair-raising, hilarious, and heart-wrenching - from his 30-year struggle to protect wildlife in America. A natural storyteller, Grosz writes about the remarkable characters he met - on both sides of the law - as he matched wits with elk poachers, salmon snaggers, commercial-market duck hunters, and a host of other law-breakers. Best of all, though, these stories are so remarkably entertaining you won't want to put them down.

When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

When Ball Four was published in 1970, it created a firestorm. Bouton was called a Judas, a Benedict Arnold and a “social leper” for having violated the “sanctity of the clubhouse.” Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn tried to force Bouton to sign a statement saying the book wasn’t true. Ballplayers, most of whom hadn’t read it, denounced the book. It was even banned by a few libraries. Almost everyone else, however, loved Ball Four.
