Motivation, achievement and what it takes to endure with ultraendurance man Dean Karnazes #56

The secrets of motivation, from an ultraendurance athlete

This week's guest Dean Karnazes does it all—seriously.
Not only is he a renowned endurance athlete and accomplished author, but he also works with several Fortune 500 companies all around the world, helping employees transform into elite leaders and managers.

Dean is, in a word, impressive. So impressive that TIME named him one of the "Top 100 Most Influential People in the World" and Men's Fitness honored him as one of the fittest men on the planet.

Our topic this week? Motivation and achievement.


Dean's got it in spades, and so can you. We're chatting nitty gritty, including how he knocked off 50 marathons spanning 50 U.S. states in just 50 days and what it takes to run 350 miles across 80 sleep-free hours.


Even if you aren't angling to run a marathon (or run anything for that matter), Dean's got a lot to say on getting and staying motivated no matter what you're up against.


Tony Wrighton has spent years navigating the unconventional edges of wellness, and in Biohacking News by Zestology, he turns that curiosity into a weekly conversation. As a journalist and author, Tony doesn't just report the headlines; he digs into the practical science and the wilder trends shaping how we think about our bodies. This podcast serves as a direct line to the people driving the biohacking movement. You'll hear Tony in candid discussions with a roster of leading voices like Dave Asprey on bulletproof living, Dr. David Sinclair on longevity, Ben Greenfield on peak performance, and Esther Perel on the human connection behind the tech. Each episode feels like a behind-the-scenes look, whether it's a review of a new wearable device, a breakdown of a controversial nutritional approach from someone like Paul Saladino, or fitness insights from JJ Virgin and Joe Wicks. It’s a mix of grounded advice and explorations of what's next, all filtered through Tony's experienced perspective and his bulging contacts book. For anyone intrigued by optimizing health but wary of the hype, this is a essential guide to what works, what doesn't, and what's just plain fascinating in the world of human enhancement.
