NCAA All-American Alex Ostberg Shares His Wisdom On Perspective, Gratitude, Taking Action, & Being A Life-Long Learner

I am thrilled to welcome back the one and only, Alex Ostberg. Alex is an eight-time All-American. He competed at Stanford University for four years before transferring to the University of North Carolina to get his master's degree. Alex holds PRs of 3:58 in the Mile, 7:49 in the 3k, 13:18 in the 5k, and 28:49 in the 10k. He also has his Bachelor's Degree in human biology, a minor in psychology, and a master's in public health. Alex is an incredibly perspicacious speaker who has a wealth of knowledge, experience, and depth. Alex is the person who I have often referred to on previous podcasts as "my mentor." Besides my parents, Alex has contributed more to my life than anyone else I know. Put simply, I would not be the person I am today without him, nor would this podcast exist. In this conversation, Alex shares his wisdom on perspective, handling adversity, gratitude, taking action, being a life-long learner, and how many days he thinks he can last in a room of darkness (will make more sense when you listen to the podcast). I always walk away from my conversations with Alex enlightened and a better version of myself. I'm confident you'll say the same after listening.
