This is awesome guys. Super cool. Congrats on the launch and loved hearing more about Lionel's amazing journey✌🏽
Thanks Rich! Honor from you
I would love to see Lionel on The RRP! That’s for sure.
@@JCFitnessExperience likewise mate!!
🤜👏
Its time to see Lionel on your podcast !!!
Used to like this guy, now I love him. Lionel- keep telling your story. This helps people. I wish you every success! Wow, that is what a champion looks like. Incredible.
So excited for this podcast. Long time in the making! Excited for you Chris! 👍🏼🔥
Thirsty for attention much? Maybe he'll learn your name next timelol
Mark Kress I help shoot this podcast and was apart of starting it up. Yes I am excited for it.. Chris is a great friend of mine?
Great job Talbot - looks great
Couldn't have done it without you! Thanks
Chris "the silver surfer" Lieto...one of my heros. I gave him that nickname because he flies on the bike and the all white is pretty close to light silver.
Great interview. Lionel couldn't really think of a fear, but then revealed his greatest fears for the next several minutes. Fear that someone else is out working him and that he hasn't done enough going into a race. Watching all of his videos it becomes very clear that his biggest fear is finishing races thinking he didn't train hard enough. But then of course he trained hard but neglected a lot of other important aspects. He is learning and I am still confident that if he sticks to the plan and listens to his coaches he is going to nail it! Great to see both of you together.
Still two of my favorite triathletes..both beasts on the bike and island. Thank you Chris Lieto!!
Great podcast. Lionel Sanders is the only athlete I follow. Tough as nails, giving his best, and so human.
Chris looks in great shape for someone retired 9 years.
Its a shame their careers didn't overlap, would have made for some great races
"the odd magnificence of life." A great realization to have!
Thank you LS. Nice job Chris.
Glad you enjoyed it
More of this Chris! So much humility and great questions from someone everyone respects.

see chris, you shoulda never stopped since that Linsey Corbin interview. Remember that? Natural, funny, entertaining, brilliant! Not much different than these new ones actually 👍😀
Haha, I came across that video a couple weeks back. I am thinking of putting it up as a throw back. Was a great video
Superb 👏
Thanks 🤗
Chris may not be racing but he's an avid surfer so the swimming ability is fairly easy to maintain
lional is a Legend
Great
8 minutes of commercials in the beginning of the podcast is a bit much. This is why I came to 'listen' on YT.
Fantastic! Who thumbs down? Would like to understand the reasoning...or not :)
Episode #2. Is there an episode #1?
#1 was me, which was more of an intro to the show
Lionel is more handsome without the mustache.
Not sure who did your audio recording but it's all over the place man! Great interview though.
Working out the bugs. First show so learning curve is large. Future episodes will be cleaner
@@ChrisLieto Ah cool, didn't realise it was the first show! I'm a poor imitation of an audio engineer so if you need any advice, just ask.
😎🤙🏼❤️
IMO you should invest in some better mics if this is to become a thing. - the audio kept coming in and out... had echos/hall/theater type of sound.
Sorry for the sound and I am Working on it and future videos will get better.
Me encantaría subtitulado al castellano.
great interview
