58 Marathons in 58 Days—How Extreme Challenges Unlock Your Potential

What if pushing your limits could unlock a new level of personal growth? In this inspiring episode of Super Life, Darin Olien sits down with Lachlan Stuart, an athlete, author, and founder of The Man That Can Project. Lachlan’s mission is to empower men to build mental and physical resilience through challenges, mindset shifts, and community support. But that’s not all—Lachlan is in the middle of an insane challenge: running 58 marathons in 58 days across 58 states to raise $100,000 for the Mental Awareness Foundation. His goal? To show men that no matter how lost or doubtful they feel, they can rise above their struggles and build momentum in their lives. This conversation explores how self-doubt, limiting beliefs, and unhealthy environments hold people back—and how taking action, no matter how small, is the key to transformation.
