Forget growth hacks. Here's the real secret to peak performance: if you keep showing up, on good days and bad, you will improve.
For this week's episode of our podcast, Lavin Voices, we sat down with Nick Thompson: CEO of The Atlantic, ultrarunning record-holder, and author of the new book The Running Ground (out now!). In this clip, he argues that showing up consistently, even when it's hard, will build resilience and confidence you didn't even know you had.
Nick is a Lavin Exclusive Speaker whose new book is a beautiful meditation on running, resilience, and family—Vogue's Anna Wintour calls it "endlessly surprising, revelatory, and heart-rending." In far-ranging motivational talks, Nick draws from his book to reveal the secrets to peak performance that top athletes know, and how you can apply them to your own life and work for breakthrough success.
