Stupid Questions with Seth Hill

Andrew Vos is a husband, father of two, endurance athlete, entrepreneur, and former Guinness World Record holder for the fastest mile while pushing a stroller. But this conversation isn't really about the world record—it's about the life behind it. Andrew shares how becoming a dad completely changed his priorities, why he no longer cares what other people think, and how his definition of success s...

Alex Wormuth is a software engineer, dad of two, and the founder of Transition — an AI-powered triathlon training platform he built in his nights and weekends because the existing tools weren't quite right for triathletes, and because he had a hunch that large language models could actually coach people pretty well. Turns out he was right. Alex sits down with me to talk about growing up in Riv...

Ari Klau is back for round four — and this one goes places we haven't gone before. Fresh off a second-place finish at Chattanooga and building toward what may be the best season of his career, Ari sits down with me to talk about what's actually changed and what hasn't. We get into the mindfulness practice he picked up at a swim camp earlier this year and how it's quietly become the...

Dr. Cory Rich has spent 40 years trying to understand one thing — what brings out the very best in the human condition. As a mental performance coach, he's worked with elite triathletes, Native American tribes using equine-assisted healing, addiction recovery programs, and everyone in between. And at the center of all of it is a question he first started asking when his father died in a car ac...

Night one of three at Tulsa Tough and Team Cadence Cyclery came in short of the win — but not short of heart. Lucas Burgoyne, Luke Fetzer and the crew sit down with me courtside for a raw, unfiltered recap of how the night went down. We talk about Boldy crashing 15 minutes in and getting back up, Cesar carving through the peloton like an assassin, the two-lap moment where it all almost came togeth...

Eric Zaltas grew up in a 75,000-person apartment complex in the Bronx, winning spelling bees and getting pushed around on the playground. He needed to prove there was a body connected to the brain. So he became a competitive cyclist, raced in 47 states, rode through Harlem and the South Bronx on Saturday mornings to get to Central Park, and eventually turned a passion for sports science into a car...

Kyle Cokinos holds the Guinness World Record for the most holes of golf played in 24 hours — 810 holes, 98 miles on foot, one club, one summer solstice, and a hundred thousand dollars raised for kids with cancer. But that's just the headline. The story underneath it is a lot more interesting. Kyle sits down with me to talk about growing up as the oldest of six in a big loud Greek family in Hou...

Lucas Burgoyne and Luke Fetzer are back, this time together. Fresh off their win at Athens Twilight — one of the biggest criterium races in America — the dynamic duo behind Team Cadence Cyclery sat down with me still riding the high, freshly arrived in Boulder, and already plotting the next block. This conversation is everything you'd want from these two. We got into how the Athens win came to...

Colin Szuch is one of the most quietly compelling athletes I've had on the show. He dropped out of aviation school at 19, moved to Spain to chase a triathlon dream with next to nothing behind him, and has been methodically building toward one goal ever since — winning Kona. He hasn't won a full Ironman yet. But he's getting close. In this round two conversation, Colin sits down with me...

Kelly Wetteland is a senior at the University of Arizona, a rising triathlete on the World Cup circuit, and someone trying to figure out how to grow up without losing herself in sport. In this conversation, we talk about identity, ambition, spirituality, burnout, and the strange transition from being a college athlete into the “real world.” Kelly opens up about breaking both arms in a bike crash,...

Liv Dietzel is a professional triathlete, engineer, and coach who races in places most people can't find on a map — the Himalayas, Patagonia, Norway, Brazil. She's won four extreme triathlons and is chasing every one of the fifteen that exist. But underneath all of that is a story that starts somewhere much quieter — a small Catholic farming town in Wisconsin, a dad who ran all over cross...

Gabrielle Suver was four months out from her best season ever as a pro triathlete — fit, focused, and ready to race Ironman Cozumel. Then on a routine shakeout ride, a truck hit her and drove away. Twenty plus breaks, open fractures, a month in the hospital, and the very real possibility that she might not walk again. Four months later she's back on her road bike. Gabby sits down with me to ta...

Jon Sammut was in the best shape of his life. Racing the Ironman Pro Series, fit, focused, and finally back in the game — until a split second of lost concentration at 50 kilometers an hour changed everything. He hit a roundabout sign head-on, shattered both legs, and spent the next 15 months navigating surgery after surgery, a near-fatal allergic reaction to antibiotics, and the very real possibi...

Camille Herron is one of the greatest ultra runners of all time — world record holder, multi-time world champion, and someone who has been quietly doing it all with a brain she didn't fully understand until two years ago. Fresh off discovering she's autistic and ADHD at 44, Camille sits down with Seth to talk about what it was like growing up with delayed speech and no words for what she w...

Keira D'Amato is the second-fastest American marathoner of all time — but that's not where her story starts. She quit running in her early 20s, built a career in tech and real estate, raised two kids, navigated divorce, and then quietly laced back up — not to chase records, but just to feel like herself again. What happened next broke the American record. Fresh off hip surgery, Keira sits...

I sit down with Colin Chartier for round two, and this conversation goes way deeper than our first. We talk about breathwork—not just as a tool for performance, but as a gateway into understanding identity, trauma, and the subconscious beliefs that shape who we are. Colin shares his journey from elite triathlon to rebuilding his life after failure, and how breathwork, stillness, and self-awareness...

I sit down with professional triathlete and Olympian Ben Kanute to talk about who he is beyond race results. We get into fatherhood, marriage, faith, discipline, and the mindset it takes to keep showing up through the highs and lows of a long career in sport. Ben shares how becoming a husband and dad has changed the way he trains, races, and views success, along with what it means to pursue excell...

I sit down with Elise Gorman , the creator of Tri Poll Athlete , a page many in the triathlon world follow to track start lists, race results, and athletes across the sport. Elise started the page almost by accident after living with professional triathlete Renee Kiley and realizing how many athletes were racing each weekend without much visibility. What began as a simple idea—sharing start lists—...

I sit down with trail builder, entrepreneur, and former professional downhill mountain biker Sean Leder to talk about the life he’s built around the outdoors. Growing up in East Tennessee, Sean turned his passion for riding into real businesses, helping launch Windrock Bike Park and founding Southern Gravity, a trail-building company shaping some of the best terrain in the Southeast. We talk about...

I sit down with professional triathlete Annie Fuller, a member of the Real Tri Squad, to talk about her journey from collegiate running at Michigan State to racing in the professional triathlon scene. Annie opens up about the injuries that have shaped much of her career and the mindset it takes to keep showing up when things don’t go as planned. We talk about the difference between loving training...

I sit down with singer-songwriter, comedian, podcaster, and all-around storyteller Dave Barnes for a conversation that goes way deeper than music. We talk about what it really means to chase success without losing your family, how autonomy shapes the choices we make, and why joy might actually be a powerful force — not just a feeling. Dave opens up about faith, fatherhood, the changing music indus...

I sit down with Ferrari GT3 driver Custodio Toledo, whose journey into professional racing started not on the track but in business — after building and selling a software company, a spontaneous Ferrari purchase ultimately led him to compete in legendary endurance races like Le Mans and Daytona. We talk about the physical and mental demands of motorsport, how his business background shaped his app...

In this episode, I sit down with world-tour cycling photographer Harry Talbot to talk about life behind the lens — from shooting races like the Tour de France and living out of suitcases to chasing creative excellence without losing yourself in the process. Harry shares what it’s really like working inside professional cycling, the chaos most people never see, and what it takes to consistently cre...

Robbie Deckard is a professional triathlete, coach, and someone I’ve gotten to know well over the last few years through shared training blocks, Tucson winters, and long conversations about sport and life. In this episode, we talk about everything from mustaches and dogs to Olympic dreams, burnout, self-coaching, and the quiet identity shifts that happen when you realize a decade has passed faster...

I sat down with Skye Munch for a second time—now as a mom to 14-month-old Lois—to talk about how motherhood has completely reshaped her identity, priorities, and relationship with triathlon. We get into the realities no one prepares you for: ongoing sleep deprivation, the emotional weight of childcare decisions, and why chasing peace mattered more than chasing fitness or results this past year. Sk...
