We talk with Khadevis Robinson (KD), two-time Olympian and four-time US Champion at 800 meters--about his life, career, and message. We also cover:
- How KD got his start in running
- What separates the 800 meters from other races
- Training with Johnny Gray, front-running, "the twilight zone", and how your mind works when you lead
- Why following instructions is the simplest path to success
- The importance of having a coach or mentor
- How some people's "why" drives them to do what others won't do
- The levels of sacrifice and discipline some people are willing to accept to achieve their goals (and eat their oatmeal)
- What's really the problem with "kids these days" and the role we play as parents
- What it means for us that the universe is neutral
- Carl Lewis, the nature of opportunities, and the parable of talents
- The lessons he learned from finishing 4th at the Olympic trials twice, at different stages of his career
- The surprising power in pursuit
- His passion to inspire and motivate others, and how coaching is a vehicle to do the same.
- And lessons he's taken from great speakers like Jim Rohn, Eric Thomas, and David Goggins
