0:00.0 | You're listening to the Impact Theory Podcast, your source of empowering ideas and actionable techniques from the world's highest achievers. |
0:08.0 | Join host Tom Billio, serial entrepreneur and co-founder of the Billion Dollar Brand Quest Nutrition, on a journey to unlock your potential and realize your vision of success. |
0:19.0 | Welcome to Impact Theory. |
0:22.0 | Everybody, welcome to Impact Theory. You're here, my friends, because you believe that human potential is nearly limitless, but you know, as I do, that having potential is not the same as actually doing something with it. |
0:36.0 | So our goal with this show and company is to introduce you to the people and ideas that are going to help you actually execute on your dreams. |
0:44.0 | Alright, today's guest is a super-level badass. Not only is she a full-time corporate attorney at Global Powerhouse Apple, she is undeniably one of the toughest humans alive. |
0:55.0 | It wasn't enough for her just to be a standout attorney, so at 28, she dove headlong into the impossibly grueling sport of obstacle course racing. |
1:04.0 | A sport where people actually die, and since beginning, she has racked up what is arguably the most impressive resume of any female in the sport, and her accomplishments prove that whatever men can do, women can do just as well. |
1:17.0 | In her career, she's had 30 victories and more than 50 podiums. She's won the 24-hour world's toughest mudder three times, one of those victories coming just eight weeks, eight weeks after knee surgery. |
1:31.0 | She was also the Spartan Race World Champion in 2013. She's been the Spartan Race Points Series Champion twice, and she has three times finished the death race. |
1:40.0 | A race that is literally designed to break you and has this slogan, you may live. |
1:45.0 | Having now also survived 2016, which she dubbed her year of healing after fracturing her femur from all of the racing and training, she has begun to discover yet another talent, sports commentating. |
1:57.0 | Even though she could make a living as a sponsored athlete and commentator, she maintains her intense day job at Apple to ensure that she's challenged both body and mind. |
2:06.0 | Please help me in welcoming the Pop Tart and Ketchup Craving Race Ninja, who has been called the Michael Jordan of obstacle course racing, Amelia Boon. |
2:17.0 | Thank you so much for coming on the tour. |
2:21.0 | It is an absolute pleasure. |
2:24.0 | Yeah, I hope I can do that intro justice. |
2:26.0 | You've already done that intro justice. It's really, really crazy what you've accomplished, but I'll be honest, the thing that I'm most interested in obviously 2016 is a brutal year for you, but reading your blogs about what you've been going through. |
2:39.0 | I think is the thing that's going to be most valuable to people. |
2:42.0 | You talk a lot about doing the hard things, but tell us what have you learned from rock bottom? |
2:47.0 | Yeah, 2016 has been an interesting year. For me, it was a fracture in the femur where I had an entire year plan and then just everything was wiped from that. |
2:59.0 | And so for me, what I found is actually that hitting rock bottom, that's the time where you are forced to then really look inwards and discover who you are. |
