Episode 48: Tyler Mac

So, and this goes back to my founding principles.

Like in swimming, it is such a unique sport.

And I truly believe that it is underappreciated, if you will, you know, because the thing about it is that, you know, it's not like most other sports where you can take a few days off.

You can, you know, you can just like let go a little bit, you know, like swimming isn't like that.

You have to be in day after day.

And not only when you're in the pool, but when you're eating healthy and you're going to bed early and you're doing all these other things to make it work.

Swimming demands that.

And every swimmer knows this.

It is a very demanding sport.

And there is nothing that I think encapsulates that quite like Lane Zero does.

And that's why I founded it.

It really is.

I would say my goals with it are definitely to represent the struggle that this sport entails and what it takes to become everything that you want to be.

That really is the goal here.

It's not necessarily just money.

That's the reason behind the brand.

That's the founding principle.

I think I've said it before, but that's deep.

Yeah, it is, man.

I

know.

That is definitely something that I've thought and that I've tried to be like, oh, swimming is hard.

Swimming is so hard.

Like, oh, no, swimming is – so you just swim back and forth a few times and you're fine.

But they don't take in the fact that we have to keep eating healthy and we have to wake up at 5 in the morning for morning practices and we have to stay late.
