Tribal Training Podcast

Dylan Spina shares openly on the "positive aggressive" mindset that he cultivated playing football, in the military and in competitive strength training... and how it does not always translate to success in endurance.

We chat on the tactical moves Spina made in Zion 100, his mindset toward keeping the team together and how he is growing from the experience.

This is a raw and real podcast where Brandon courageously shares the truth in his shortcoming at Zion 100.

We dive deep into his mindset in training, the areas of training he overlooked and the specific moment in the race where he let himself quit.

This is a must listen for anyone taking on a daunting challenge.

Here's how Tribal athletes are creating their own legend within the larger mythology of Tribal Training.

This conversation was inspired by Blaine's heroics on the Guacamole Mesa Loop (and getting me back to mile 70) at Zion 100.

This is a monster episode that dives deep into Louie's mindset and gets extremely tactical with the mental/race strategies that helped him keep going... all the way to the finish line.

We also hear his perspective on the team experience and he shares guidance on where less experienced athletes could improve.

My favorite unlocks from this episode were learning the mental strategies that helped Louie conquer Zion 100: the Deep Well of Gratitude, Race Resets, Aid Station Time Blocks, "We're Just Right Here", "Everything Is Fine" and more.

Here's Cam's experience building into Zion, preparing to race, getting sick the night before and shifting his mindset to go full support for the team.

Here's Mike Donatelli's experience pacing miles 80 to 100, keeping our 3 athletes together and getting them across the finish line.

There is no way I make it to Mile 70 without Blaine. And this podcast is all about his perspective on our adventure into the night.

We also get incredible background on Blaine's journey from the "lowest" entry into endurance with Tribal (a solo 70.3) to participating in our peak Team experience just a few months later.

Here's what I want athletes to feel when they join Tribal.

And how my vision for the athlete experience is manifesting in real time.

We have 2 huge races in the next 5 weeks (Zion 100 and Chatt 70.3) that are both enormous evolutions of the Tribal Race Experience.

I also share how past initiatives and races have been building toward these and what these experiences include for athletes.

Big time Tribal Cafe with 9 athletes joining. We had great shares on the pitfalls of comparison, where it benefits us and lots of real life examples of both.

Here's my keynote speech on endurance mindset and my journey into triathlon from the Do Hard Things Conference in August 2023.

The speech is followed by audience Q and A.

Here's how I cook fresh meals that I love in less than 10 minutes. And without clean up. This is my day to day cooking system that I've refined over the past 5 years of endurance training. As a bonus, I included my on-the-go protocol for Single Serving Grocery Shopping.

In this episode, I help an athlete uncover why he's stuck with such a low HR on the bike (relative to his run).

I do a full review of race data, bike power files, specific training sessions and more.

In this episode, I chat with Dylan Spina on my nutrition mistakes coming out of IMFL and over the winter, some diet boundaries that helped me right the ship and a new diet protocol that's giving me clarity on meal combos.

Thanks to Spina for providing additional nutrition knowledge that added great depth to the conversation

This is an expansion of the last Tribal Cafe.

I felt called to share more on how I created my own games in life back when I was still working my corporate job and just getting into endurance and online business.

In this month's Tribal Cafe, Ryan and Jordan discuss the importance on establishing boundaries in life to create freedom and space to pursue goals and play the game you want to play in life.

We discuss physical boundaries, mental boundaries, language boundaries and relationship boundaries.

In this episode, Ryan and Jordan share one of the emergent ideas from their biz trip in January - the "Maze of Meaning".

Key Highlights:

In this episode, I chat with Trevor Coulter and Cameron Pearson to hear all about their success at Coldwater Rumble 100k.

We also have Louie join the call to help extract lessons from the race for the Tribal Training's upcoming Team 100 miler - Zion 100.

Really dope to hear all about their personal paths to race day, how it went for them and what the experience meant to them.

Also very valuable to hear their gear, nutrition and Aid Station insights/lessons learned.

In this episode, Ryan and Jordan chat all about the new mascot, Chief Manitou.

Ryan shares the origin ideas and design work, then Ryan and Jordan do a live workshop breaking down the core themes and symbolism, share stories from Native American/Indigenous tribes in Canada, The Great Plains and in Boulder, CO.

This episode is all about viewing sport as play and separating that play from the rules and constraints of every day life.

Ryan & Jordan explore how play is used to create meaning, how fine tuning attention immerses you into play and how play solves our need to become more than we currently are.

Some other topics covered: how wisdom is only acquired through experience, how ego is used effectively and how humility helps us extract lessons learned in the arena.

In this episode, I chat with Jonathan Hayes and hear how he went from struggling with "stick-to-itiveness" in the past... to rewriting that story and conquering his first 70.3 in less than 6 months on Team Tribal.

Jonathan joined the first Endurance Accelerator cohort in July, which was his first time ever joining an online community or men's group.

We talk about what he was looking for when he joined, how the community helped him stay committed to his goals, how his lifestyle choices (specifically around drinking) organically improved and how he redefined what he's capable of on race day.

We also get into race specifics and hear how his day unfolded.

Really great episode with a dude who absolutely earned every bit of progress and growth he's experienced these last 6 months.

Congrats on your finish line Jonathan!! Here's to many more.

This is 3 person episode with Nick Diller and Blaine Bursey recapping their first 70.3 (Florida 70.3 on 12/10/2024).

Both these guys signed up 4-5 months from the race and fully bought into the process.

It was a pleasure for me to hear directly from them on the significance this accomplishment had on their lives.

We talk about their full race experience, training challenges, why they signed up to begin with, what they were looking to find within themselves on the journey... and how they grew as men in the process of crossing the finish line.

This is the first episode of Tribal Cafe!

Tribal Cafe is a coffee shop style conversation between Ryan Dreyer and Jordan Goldstein all focused around fulfilling potential through mental, physical and spiritual development in sport.

This episode starts with the idea of finding fulfillment when you miss time or distance goals in a race. We use Ryan's recent 10:19 Ironman (short of sub-10 goal) and Jordan's 25 mile fasted trail run (short of 26.2 marathon goal) to mine real life examples of our process.

The conversation expands to include topics like ignorance in objective goal setting, how meaning and joy is found in subjective victories and making progress on the process and even some golf analogies at the end.

In this episode I answer training and race day questions from a beginner triathlete taking on their first 70.3

Full breakdown on Oregon 70.3, why I signed up for it, my life and training leading up to it, mental preparation, race week logistics, course preview, race recap and how we recovered.

In this Community Chat episode, I sit down with Jordan Goldstein to break down his fasted trail marathon attempt. We cover Jordan's athletic philosophy, how he got into trail running, where he came up with the challenge, why it was significant for him and how it went down.

This is the first installment of a new segment called Community Chat. In Community Chats, I speak with Tribal Training athletes to hear more about why they got into endurance training, how it's changed them as people and the impact it's had on their life.

Keith is a husband, father of 2 boys and small business owner. After watching his childhood best friend battle stage 4 cancer, he started looking for a new way to push himself mentally and physically.

In this episode, Keith shares how endurance training has improved his confidence, patience, focus and had a powerful ripple effect on the people around him.
