Ultra X Nevada: Alone in the Desert, Rebuilding at 50

This episode isn’t just about a race.

It’s about what happens when the structure disappears.

Ultra X Nevada was five days, 220km, brutal heat, isolation, sand, and self-doubt. But the real test didn’t start in the desert — it started long before, navigating unemployment, identity loss, and that uncomfortable question many men face in their 50s:

“Who am I now?”

In this episode, I talk honestly about:

• What Ultra X Nevada was really like — physically and mentally
• Being alone in the desert with nowhere to hide
• Losing work, routine, and professional identity
• The mental drift that comes when you no longer know where you fit
• Why endurance events become anchors during periods of change
• What rebuilding looks like when you strip life back to basics
• Why comfort is often the enemy of growth

This isn’t a highlight reel.

It’s a debrief — on endurance, transition, and learning how to go again when life doesn’t look like the plan.

If you’re navigating change, burnout, unemployment, or that mid-life “what now?” moment — this one’s for you.
