Eric Hinman: Why Traditional Success Is a Lie—And How Adventure & Recovery Helped Him Build a Life by Design
What if everything you thought about success was wrong? In this episode of The ALLSMITH Podcast, I sit down with Eric Hinman—Ironman athlete, entrepreneur, and adventure-seeker—who challenges the conventional wisdom of hustle culture and shares his blueprint for designing a life of freedom, fulfillment, and flow.
Eric takes us on a journey through his evolution from chasing money and status in his 20s to redefining success on his own terms—prioritizing adventure, recovery, and high-performance living. He opens up about the power of mentorship, the crucial role of community, and why testosterone optimization doesn’t mean endless endurance training.
