The Accumulation of Decisions - Nick Salazar - Chief Endurance Officer with Greg McDonough - Ep #148

Today’s guest is a deeply thoughtful and creative entrepreneur who blends endurance sport, design, and storytelling. Introducing Nick Salazar, Owner of TriRig, who partners with host Greg McDonough to explore what it really means to build a life on your own terms. Nick shares how presence, intentional decision-making, and long-term commitment shaped his path from law to product innovation and filmmaking. He also delves into how fitness, creativity, and self-awareness fuel better leadership, clearer focus, and more fulfilling work.

Takeaways:

• Endurance is built through systems and habits, not just motivation or willpower.

• Being present in the moment allows for better decisions, stronger relationships, and clearer leadership.

• Knowing yourself is critical. Leaders must understand what energizes them before building careers or companies around it.

• True innovation comes from solving real problems, not copying what already exists.

• Physical fitness directly impacts mood, judgment, energy, and how you show up for others.

Quote of the Show:

• “If you find something you love, you’re good at, and you have a unique perspective on, enough time and effort will bear fruit.” – Nick Salazar
