<p>Performance chef. Hybrid athlete. Dan Churchill is back in town and on the mic.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, Dan unpacks his evolution — from running restaurants to chasing world-class athletic goals. We dive deep into what it really takes to train hard, eat with purpose, sleep for recovery, and show up with discipline every single day. Dan doesn’t just talk goals — he lives them. He’s chasing a sub-60 at HYROX Pro and a sub-3-hour marathon in London. We break down how he’s training, how he’s planning, and how he stays locked in mentally.</p><p><br></p><p>We also talk identity — how embracing the title of “athlete” can shift your mindset and elevate your effort across the board. Plus, we go into the psychology behind nutrition, and what it means to truly fuel with intent.</p><p><br></p><p>CHAPTERS:</p><p>01:24 Dan's Athletic Goals and Training Journey</p><p>05:19 Work Ethic and Personal Growth</p><p>12:09 Balancing Personal Life and Professional Ambitions</p><p>24:51 Dan's Restaurant Business Experience</p><p>42:22 Commitments and Productivity</p><p>55:11 Training with Elite Athletes: Key Takeaways</p><p>01:00:24 Sleep Gadgets and Hacks</p><p>01:09:31 Fueling for Performance</p><p>01:24:11 Balancing Diet and Social Life</p><p>01:35:10 Concluding Thoughts and Future Plans</p><p><br></p><p>MENTIONS:</p><p>Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport</p><p><a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thenickbarepodcast/episodes/114-Life-as-a-Full-Time-Athlete-with-Dan-Churchill-e30oo3b" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Work-Focused-Success-Distracted/dp/1455586692</a></p><p><br></p><p>Lewis Howes episode</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/Rl-SnsoPp-c?si=pbJsIBLaagk6R2Xo" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://youtu.be/Rl-SnsoPp-c?si=pbJsIBLaagk6R2Xo</a></p><p><br></p><p>ULU Wellness: Wellness Starts Here</p><p><a href="https://uluwellness.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://uluwellness.com/</a></p><p><br></p><p>CONNECT:</p><p>Become a BPN member FOR FREE - Unlock 20% off FOR LIFE</p><p><a href="https://www.bareperformancenutrition.com/pages/bpn-membership?srsltid=AfmBOorlpjVeag2kkt3eZ5UpWcFA5Bb2v5V_93lmO47Vn_Y8DRdLwDLL" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.bareperformancenutrition.com/pages/bpn-membership?srsltid=AfmBOorlpjVeag2kkt3eZ5UpWcFA5Bb2v5V_93lmO47Vn_Y8DRdLwDLL</a></p><p><br></p><p>FOLLOW:</p><p>IG: <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thenickbarepodcast/episodes/instagram.com/nickbarefitness/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">instagram.com/nickbarefitness/</a></p><p>YT: <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thenickbarepodcast/episodes/youtube.com/@nickbarefitness" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">youtube.com/@nickbarefitness</a></p><p><br></p><p>KEEP UP WITH DAN</p><p>IG:<a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thenickbarepodcast/episodes/instagram.com/dan_churchill/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> instagram.com/dan_churchill/?hl=en</a></p>
