About this episode

David Bryant shares his journey of competing at age 65 while pursuing world record aspirations.

David Bryant is competing more than anyone we know right now - chasing records and rolling back the clock to his youth. From international racing in the 80s to masters globe trotting (with a possible side hustle in espionage), he’s proof that ambition doesn’t retire. We discuss the privilege and the challenges of reaching age 65 and having world record aspirations. This isn’t a story about slowing down. It’s about speeding up - at 65.
