In this episode of Find Your Grit, we have the honor of sitting down with Ultra Endurance Athlete Nick Pelletier, whose life and experiences redefine the concept of grit. Nick has completed multiple impressive feats of endurance, including a bike across America, Mexico, multiple ultra races, triathlons, but most notably his 116km (72 mile) swim nonstop across Lake Okanagan in Canada. During this raw and honest conversation, Nick also shares his perspective on suffering and hardship, both ones out of our control, but also how self-imposed challenges can lead to rapid personal growth and development. Hear about the grueling challenges Nick faced during his 113-kilometer swim, and how he navigated physical exhaustion, hallucinations, and the unpredictability of open waters. Whether you’re a fellow athlete, or someone looking to grow more mentally resilient and test your limits, this conversation aims to understand the power of the human spirit, and learn how to apply these lessons to everyday life. Through their recent collaboration, Nick and Grant’s stories are a testament to the fact that with grit and determination, you can overcome almost anything.
