    From the Pool to the Pitch - James Tillman - Chief Endurance Officer with Greg McDonough - Episode #159
    May 1 2026
    Can an endurance mindset built in the pool at age five fuel a clean energy revolution decades later?Today's guest is a visionary entrepreneur at the forefront of clean energy innovation! Introducing James Tillman, CEO and Co-Founder of EVlogic. James partners with host Gregory McDonough to share how more than 16 years in the electric vehicle infrastructure industry shaped his approach to sales, leadership, and building a business with staying power. He also delves into how the endurance mindset he developed as a competitive swimmer translates directly into navigating complex enterprise sales cycles, and how learning to fail fast became just as important as going the distance.Takeaways:James's career arc from the City of Houston to NRG's EV startup to founding EVlogic gave him a layered understanding of how large organizations, startups, and small businesses each require a fundamentally different pace and mindset.His background as a competitive swimmer training 20+ hours a week shaped his approach to enterprise sales, where multimillion-dollar deals can take a year or two to close and require strategic patience and disciplined relationship-building.One of James's most actionable lessons is learning to fail early and fail fast. At his previous company, four out of ten deals he pursued to the bitter end were ultimately canceled, consuming seven to ten months and hundreds of labor hours for nothing.In complex enterprise sales, identifying everyone who can say no is just as critical as finding who can say yes. Missing a key stakeholder late in a deal can delay the close by months and restart the entire sales cycle.James founded EVlogic after recognizing that projects were taking four months and 160+ labor hours from creation to award. His AI-enabled platform handles design, engineering, and pricing of EV charging sites in real time, eliminating the costly two-to-three-week redesign cycles that used to follow every customer change request.James lives by the hiring philosophy "hire hard, manage easy": find someone with the right skillset, relevant experience, and the personality to weather the hard days alongside you, then share the vision and trust them to execute.The US currently has one public charging port for every 30 EVs, compared to one-to-nine in Europe and one-to-two in China. With charging utilization economics already working and deployment growing 30% year over year, James sees a massive and still largely unbuilt market ahead.Quote of the Show:"Everybody kind of sees in business the overnight success and they don't really see the 10 or 14 years, however many years you put into it before you get to that success." - James TillmanLinks:James’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jatillmaniv/EVlogic’s Website: https://evlogic.ai/jtillman@evlogic.ai Ways to Tune In:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/580aLDKac1ld031W4nWDtp Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chief-endurance-officer/id1680214218?uo=4Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy50cmFuc2lzdG9yLmZtL2NoaWVmLWVuZHVyYW5jZS1vZmZpY2Vy Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/3c96880f-8dcd-4a6e-b1c8-fda816f872a9 Podcast Addict: https://podcastaddict.com/podcast/4340732 Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/show/5897357 Player FM: https://player.fm/series/series-3462719 Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/chief-endurance-officer-5250102 Listen Notes: https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/chief-endurance-officer-ringmaster-KMdv2I8XwkN/ Keep up to date on our social accounts:Check out our Website: http://enduranceofficer.com/ Community Discount Link: https://ceopodcast.myezrewards.com/signup/chief-endurance-officer-podcast Join my Endurance Leadership Community: https://endurance-leadership-community.mn.co/share/_C3ZDRz7OX2vbCme?utm_source=manual Chief Endurance Officer is produced by Ringmaster, on a mission to create connections through B2B podcasts.

  • Is It Worth the Price? - Mason Duchatschek - Chief Endurance Officer with Greg McDonough - Episode #158

    Is It Worth the Price? - Mason Duchatschek - Chief Endurance Officer with Greg McDonough - Episode #158
    Apr 24 2026
    How do you decide what’s truly worth pursuing when you know you’re capable of almost anything? Today’s guest is a driven and insightful leader who blends endurance mindset with business strategy. Introducing Mason Duchatschek, CEO of Workforce Alchemy. Mason joins host Gregory McDonough to share how shifting from “can I do this?” to “should I do this?” fundamentally changes how leaders make decisions and pursue growth.He dives into how endurance mindset shapes leadership, why surrounding yourself with the right people accelerates performance, and how businesses can unlock hidden value by improving hiring, engagement, and development systems. Mason also shares lessons from endurance sports, emphasizing discipline, discomfort tolerance, and the importance of structure, process, and accountability in both athletics and business.Takeaways:Shift from “can” to “should” thinking. Mason explains that success comes from assuming capability and instead evaluating whether the outcome is worth the required investment of time, energy, and resources.Success requires paying a clear price. Every goal comes with trade-offs. Leaders must decide what they are willing to give up, including time, comfort, and competing priorities, to achieve meaningful outcomes.Growth comes from sustained discomfort. He emphasizes that endurance and business success both require the ability to stay uncomfortable for extended periods while continuing to move forward.Your environment shapes your performance. Mason highlights that surrounding yourself with high-performing, like-minded individuals accelerates growth and reinforces discipline.The right people drive exponential business value. Investing in hiring, training, and systems can dramatically increase employee output, turning average performance into exceptional results.Poor hiring and disengagement create hidden losses. He explains that underperforming employees and disengagement can quietly cost businesses significant amounts over time.Accountability works best peer-to-peer. Mason contrasts top-down management with “side-to-side accountability,” where teams hold each other to standards and drive performance collectively. Quote of the Show:"My focus on life shifted to not, can I do this, but should I." - Mason DuchatschekLinks:Mason Duchatschek’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/masonduchatschek/Workforce Alchemy’s Website: WorkforceAlchemy.comhttps://masonduchatschek.com/Ways to Tune In:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/580aLDKac1ld031W4nWDtp Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chief-endurance-officer/id1680214218?uo=4Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy50cmFuc2lzdG9yLmZtL2NoaWVmLWVuZHVyYW5jZS1vZmZpY2Vy Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/3c96880f-8dcd-4a6e-b1c8-fda816f872a9 Podcast Addict: https://podcastaddict.com/podcast/4340732 Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/show/5897357 Player FM: https://player.fm/series/series-3462719 Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/chief-endurance-officer-5250102 Listen Notes: https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/chief-endurance-officer-ringmaster-KMdv2I8XwkN/ Keep up to date on our social accounts:Check out our Website: http://enduranceofficer.com/ Community Discount Link: https://ceopodcast.myezrewards.com/signup/chief-endurance-officer-podcast Join my Endurance Leadership Community: https://endurance-leadership-community.mn.co/share/_C3ZDRz7OX2vbCme?utm_source=manual Chief Endurance Officer is produced by Ringmaster, on a mission to create connections through B2B podcasts.

  • Train Smarter with Glucose Data - Hunter Allen - Chief Endurance Officer with Greg McDonough - Episode #157

    Train Smarter with Glucose Data - Hunter Allen - Chief Endurance Officer with Greg McDonough - Episode #157
    Apr 17 2026
    How can managing your glucose levels unlock better performance, energy, and long-term health? Today’s guest is a pioneering endurance coach and data-driven performance expert. Introducing Hunter Allen, Founder of Peaks Coaching Group. Hunter partners with host Gregory McDonough to share how continuous glucose monitoring is transforming the way athletes train, perform, and think about longevity. He also delves into how glucose stability impacts energy, recovery, and long-term health outcomes.Takeaways:• Glucose is a primary driver of performance and energy Hunter explains that glucose is a key fuel source for the body, powering cellular energy production and directly impacting how muscles perform during training and racing.• Unstable glucose leads to performance crashes He describes how athletes often create a “rollercoaster” of energy by overcorrecting low glucose with excess intake, leading to repeated spikes and crashes instead of steady performance.• Priming glucose before effort improves output Hunter highlights that there is a delay in glucose availability at the start of intense efforts, and properly fueling beforehand can prevent early deficits in performance.• Athletes respond differently to glucose timing He breaks down how individuals absorb glucose at different rates, requiring personalized timing strategies to optimize performance before events or hard training sessions.• Continuous glucose monitors unlock new training insights CGMs allow athletes and coaches to track real-time data, helping them understand how fueling, stress, and effort impact performance in ways that were not previously possible.• Longevity depends on metabolic health Hunter emphasizes that managing glucose is not just about performance, but about protecting long-term health, particularly by reducing stress on the pancreas and preventing metabolic disease. Quote of the Show:"A real simple takeaway is just get rid of as much saturated fat outta your diet as you can." - Hunter AllenLinks:Hunter Allen’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hunter-allen-9b2996a/Peak Coaching Group’s Website: http://www.peakscoachinggroup.com/peaks-coaching-group-tour-de-france-ftp-challengeBook: trainingandcompetingwithacgm.comWays to Tune In:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/580aLDKac1ld031W4nWDtp Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chief-endurance-officer/id1680214218?uo=4Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy50cmFuc2lzdG9yLmZtL2NoaWVmLWVuZHVyYW5jZS1vZmZpY2Vy Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/3c96880f-8dcd-4a6e-b1c8-fda816f872a9 Podcast Addict: https://podcastaddict.com/podcast/4340732 Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/show/5897357 Player FM: https://player.fm/series/series-3462719 Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/chief-endurance-officer-5250102 Listen Notes: https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/chief-endurance-officer-ringmaster-KMdv2I8XwkN/ Keep up to date on our social accounts:Check out our Website: http://enduranceofficer.com/ Community Discount Link: https://ceopodcast.myezrewards.com/signup/chief-endurance-officer-podcast Join my Endurance Leadership Community: https://endurance-leadership-community.mn.co/share/_C3ZDRz7OX2vbCme?utm_source=manual Chief Endurance Officer is produced by Ringmaster, on a mission to create connections through B2B podcasts.
