1 1 #093: Losing 100 Pounds to Run 100 Miles: An Interview with Jeffrey Binney April 6, 2015 Introduction The 5 am Miracle - Episode #093: Losing 100 Pounds to Run 100 Miles: An Interview with Jeffrey Binney [Intro Song] Good morning and welcome to the 93rd episode of The 5 AM Miracle. I am Jeff Sanders and this is THE podcast dedicated to dominating your day before breakfast. Every Monday morning my goal is to help you bounce out of bed with enthusiasm, create powerful lifelong habits, and tackle your grandest goals with extraordinary energy. Here on The 5 AM Miracle Podcast we discuss early mornings, but we also dive much deeper into topics like healthy habits, personal development, and rockin productivity! This week I interview Jeffrey Binney, a documentary

2 2 filmmaker who s new film, Once is Enough, highlights his amazing journey to lose a ton of weight and run one of the world s toughest ultramarathons. But first, if you consider yourself a productivity junkie, then I think you re going to love my ebook, 10 Miracles. 10 Miracles is a short ebook that highlights my Top 10 Tools for Productivity Junkies. I personally use and LOVE all of these tools and I think you will too. To get your free copy of the ebook and audiobook, visit 10Miracles.com. Now, let s begin with a quick announcement and the Tip of the Week! [Fade Music Up and Out] Two weeks ago I launched The 5 AM MIracle Audio Blog. I created this second podcast just for listeners like you who love to listen to your favorite content, but you may not have time to read all of your favorite blog posts and articles. In the last couple of weeks this podcast has had thousands of downloads and seems to be quite

3 3 popular. But, there is one thing missing. In order for the Audio Blog to reach a wider audience I need one favor from you. I m sure you already know what I m about to ask for.. That s right, a killer itunes review! Yeah! But seriously, it does make a huge difference. So, if you have tuned into the new Audio Blog podcast, and you love it, and you d like to leave your rating and review I would greatly appreciate it. Just visit JeffSanders.com/audioblog. You can also find this link in the show notes and on my website at JeffSanders.com. Now this week s Tip is a great suggestion that came from Debbie Mac, a member of The 5 AM Miracle Community group on Facebook. I posed a question to the community, asking them about their morning routines and Debbie had a great suggestion. Debbie found that her morning habits were consuming all of her morning hours and she didn't feel productive any longer. She started doing a MIT (most important task) and felt better right away.

4 4 What that means is that she would choose a habit to be her Most Important Task, (like prayer, meditation, envisioning the day, or something similar) She would then read or exercise, depending on how much time she had left. The key to her Most Important Task is that Debbie is focusing her mornings on the few things that will make the biggest difference for her. It s likely going to be impossible for you and anyone to do every healthy and productive habit that you want to do every single morning. Time is finite, so we have to make choices. I love how Debbie was able to decide upon something specific that she definitely wants to get done, and then let s the rest of her day come as it may. That s a great approach to ensuring you begin every morning with your own 5 AM Miracle. If you would like to join The 5 AM Miracle Community on Facebook, just visit JeffSanders.com/community. [World Music Interlude] My guest today is a very funny comedian, actor, and now documentary filmmaker.

5 5 He has an incredible story to share today, but first I want to highlight a few of the amazing things Jeffrey and I have in common. Both have same first name: Jeffrey Both from Missouri Both Vegans Both run trail ultramarathons Both majored in Theatre at universities in Missouri His Last Name is Binney, my dog s name is Benny. As we were preparing for our talk today we realized just how similar to the two of us are, which should make for a great conversation. So, let s dive in. I am thrilled today to be speaking with Jeffrey Binney on The 5 AM Miracle Podcast. Welcome Jeffrey! [Play Interview] [Opening Night Music]

6 6 Action Steps: #1 Visit the Indiegogo page for Jeffrey s documentary, Once is Enough. On that page you can watch the trailer for the film and support the production if you wish. There is a link to the page in the show notes. #2 If you haven t already, now is a great time to sign up for your own big race in Some of the world s greatest races happen in this time of the year. You can also sign up for a race in the fall and begin your training now. #3 Be sure to follow Jeffrey on Twitter so you can get the live tweets of his attempt at running the 100-mile Leadville race on August 15th. It takes around 24 hours to run a race that long and I m sure Jeffrey s comedic personality will be amazing to watch.
