How do you live a life of true fulfillment when the world constantly pushes you to seek validation from outside yourself?
In this episode of The Jared Goetz Show, Jared sits down with Tomas Martinez, an Ironman athlete and entrepreneur, to explore the balance between achievement, love, and inner peace.
Tomas shares how endurance sports shaped his perspective on discipline, how marriage has deepened his understanding of connection, and why chasing external validation will always leave you empty. His story is a reminder that fulfillment isn’t found in applause — it’s built from within.
In this conversation, Tomas reveals:
Why Ironman training taught him more about life than sport
How to build a marriage rooted in alignment, not performance
The hidden cost of chasing external validation
Why fulfillment comes from living true to yourself
The practices that keep him grounded in purpose
