Amelia Boone (@ameliaboone) has been called the Michael Jordan of
obstacle course racing (OCR). This episode explores her training,
nutrition, rehab, "pre-hab", and more. In a sense, Amelia is more
impressive than MJ, as she conquered OCR while building a stellar
full-time career in law. Since the sport’s inception, she’s
amassed more than 30 victories and 50 podiums. In the 2012
World's Toughest Mudder competition, which lasted 24 hours, she
finished 2nd OVERALL out of 1,000+ competitors. This was ahead of
every male except the winner, who beat her by just 8 minutes. Her
major victories include the Spartan Race World Championship
(2013), Spartan Race Series Point Champion (2013 and 2015), and
she is the only three-time winner of the World's Toughest Mudder
(2012, 2014 and 2015). She won the 2014 WTM eight weeks after
knee surgery. Amelia is also a three-time finisher of the Death
Race, and dabbles in ultra-running in all of her spare time.
Phew... I'm exhausted just writing this intro, but Amelia can do
it all while eating Pop-Tarts for breakfast (seriously). Show

by 99Designs, the world's largest marketplace of graphic
designers. I have used them for years to create some amazing
designs. When your business needs a logo, website design,
business card, or anything you can imagine, check out 99Designs.
I used them to rapid prototype the cover for The 4-Hour
Body, and I've also had them help with display advertising and
illustrations. If you want a more personalized approach, I
recommend their 1-on-1 service. You get original designs from
designers around the world. The best part? You provide your

by Wealthfront. Wealthfront is a massively disruptive
(in a good way) set-it-and-forget-it investing service,
led by technologists from places like Apple and world-famous
investors. It has exploded in popularity in the last 2
years and now has more than $2.5B under management. In fact,
some of my
good investor friends in Silicon Valley
have millions of their own
money in Wealthfront. Why? Because you can get services
previously limited to the ultra-wealthy and only pay pennies on
the dollar for them, and it’s all through smarter software
instead of retail locations and bloated sales teams. Check out
wealthfront.com/tim, take their risk assessment quiz,
which only takes 2-5 minutes, and they’ll show you—for
free–exactly the portfolio they’d put you in.
If you want to just take their advice and do it yourself, you
can. Or, as I would, you can set it and forget it. Well
worth a few minutes: wealthfront.com/tim. Enjoy!
