Rick Simmons

CEO, author, and ultra-runner **Rick Simmons** joins *The Sounds of Success* for a deep, funny, and surprisingly emotional conversation about leadership, resilience, and the life-changing power of disruption. Rick shares his journey from a childhood shaped by scarcity to co-founding **The Telos Institute**, where he works with executives around the world on transformational change. He explains the idea of *liminal space*—pattern-breaking moments that open the door to real growth—along with stories from ultramarathons, global leadership treks, and building a business from scratch with his wife and partner, Amy Simmons. It’s a wide-ranging episode about ambition, reinvention, curiosity, and why laughter might be the truest measure of success.
