Ep 178 Redefining Elite Performance in Midlife Fitness and Career

Episode 178 features Art Turock.  Art has excelled in business and sports over the past three decades, delivering speeches to Fortune 500 companies and competing as a pentathlon athlete in his 50s. In this episode, Art shares his “bizarre reboots” and discusses achieving elite performance in fitness and career during Midlife. 

Art reveals practical methods to separate oneself from the pack and achieve elite performance. 

Here are 3 key discussion points from our conversation:

1️⃣ Deliberate Practice: Art explains that deliberate practice involves pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and continuously working on skills to achieve higher competency and growth.

2️⃣ Accountability: Art shares his philosophy on accountability and how traditional methods of holding people accountable often lead to blaming and rationalizations. Instead, he emphasizes inviting accountability through a series of questions that challenge individuals to assess their behaviors and mindsets in relation to their desired results.

3️⃣ Colossal Deception: Art explains the concept of colossal deception, the tendency to prioritize immediate comfort over long-term goals. Art shares strategies for reframing mindsets and focusing on passionate values to overcome this deceptive mindset.

Art inspires you to separate yourself from the rest of the pack, aspiring to be an elite performer by embracing tools like deliberate practice, accountability, and reframing mindsets to prioritize long-term goals over short-term comforts.

Questions to ponder:

How can the methods used in performance fields like music, theater, and sports be applied to separate oneself from others?

How did deliberate practice help Art Turock excel in both his speaking career and as an athlete?

How does the red flag drill influence people to shift their mindsets and take greater ownership of their actions and outcomes?

Bernie Borges Host Midlife Fulfilled Podcast

I started podcasting in 2013. My most recent podcast is the Midlife Fulfilled weekly podcast which launched in February 2022.

I was frustrated by a lack of fulfillment, in spite of good health, a successful career, good fitness, a healthy marriage, and overall happiness. Despite these blessings, I was lacking fulfillment.

I conducted a survey and discovered that I wasn’t alone on the journey to find more fulfillment. As an experienced podcaster, I knew that I could provide a platform to help men and women in midlife find more fulfillment and joy through a weekly podcast.
