Things like a 200 mile ultramarathon or a Muay Thai fight teach you to lean into discomfort. You start with “Ah, screw it, why not? Can’t be that hard,” then you realise it is harder than you thought. But you also learn you can survive more than you imagined. That same muscle helps you tackle scary projects and decisions in business.
