Manage episode 498419442 series 3670864
What if pain wasn’t your enemy—but your training partner?
In this powerful episode of The Battle Harder Podcast, Ironman athlete and Certified Positive Intelligence Coach Colin C. Thompson shares the mindset that transformed his 50th birthday into a full-on life reset. From endurance races in Taiwan to the mental battles we all face daily, Colin teaches us how to build mental fitness—the ability to stay grounded, resilient, and focused when life hits hard.
We discuss how pain can be reframed as a tool for growth, the danger of toxic “no pain, no gain” culture, and how to develop real inner strength that shows up when it matters most.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, burned out, or unsure how to push through discomfort without self-sabotage—this one’s for you.

- The birthday challenge that changed everything
- How pain during an Ironman reshaped his mindset
- What “mental fitness” means and how to train it daily
