Discipline, discomfort, and the moments that define us
In this episode of The Turning Point, I sit down with George Mahood — endurance athlete and author of Operation Ironman — for an honest conversation about discipline, discomfort, and the quiet decisions that shape who we become.
We go beyond the headlines of endurance sport to explore the mental battles, self-doubt, and daily commitment behind Operation Ironman - One Man's Four Month Journey from Hospital Bed to Ironman Triathlon. George shares what training taught him about consistency, identity, and choosing progress over comfort when motivation fades.
We also talk about turning points — the moments where drift stops and action begins — and the powerful parallels between endurance challenges and rebuilding yourself after a major life reset.
If you’re navigating change, questioning your limits, or looking for proof that steady discipline can restore confidence and direction, this episode will resonate.
