How a Tech COO Conquered the Hawaii IRONMAN and Took His Company Public in the Same Year

“The Purple Patch method allowed me to excel in sports and business simultaneously. While the training prepared me physically, the greatest impact was helping me develop strategies fundamental to how I operate as a leader, which became foundational to my success at Trulia.”

Sami Inkinen

Founder of Trulia, CEO and founder of Virta health, & Amateur Ironman World Champion

From Wall Street Banker to Professional IRONMAN to Business Owner—Performance is Performance

“My biggest asset as a professional athlete was my mindset. I wasn’t the most naturally gifted, but with Matt's guidance, I applied the skills I honed in banking to my sport, ultimately placing in the top 10 at the Ironman World Championships three times. Since retiring, I’ve used those traits to build a successful real estate business. Matt taught me that performance is performance—no matter where I focus.”

From Overcoming a Fear of Water to Leading with Confidence—A CHRO's Journey

“Learning to swim from scratch in mid-life and then completing a half-IRONMAN was a tough challenge that taught me to embrace discomfort and push my limits. This journey simultaneously drove personal growth, honed leadership traits like focus, commitment, and resilience, and drove a high-performance culture in the organizations I lead. It also unlocked a new passion for swimming and surprisingly made me more effective across all areas of life. Taking on physical challenges is now an essential part of staying sharp and gaining an edge in the workplace.”

Carmel Galvin

Chief People Officer Klaviyo

How a CEO Transformed His Leadership Through the Power of Sports

“When I joined Purple Patch, I was focused on improving my triathlon performance, but the process transformed my leadership. I developed skills and habits that enhanced my effectiveness under stress and sharpened my focus. My sports journey boosted my physical resilience, but the real benefit was the mental training that now informs everything I do as a leader.”

Pasquale Romano

CEO Redoxblox

From Burnout to Breakthrough

"I met Matt in 2020 when I was not doing well, mentally or physically. I was burned out and mentally depleted, having lost so much of the resilience that had previously helped me navigate difficult situations.The Purple Patch Method has been transformative for me. I have so much more energy in my day-to-day life, a better ability to focus, and I wake up easier in the mornings. All those small improvements add up to a significant change. It's made me more adaptable and resilient, and I genuinely believe it's made me a better employee and father. The habits I’ve adopted have smoothed out some of my rough edges, making every day better. I'm a happier, more engaged person because of it. It's truly profound."

Books that helped change how endurance sports are coached

While these books are focused on triathletes, they are included for a specific reason. Although centered on athletes, the core theme is universal: balancing a demanding life with high performance. When these books were written, the focus was shifting from "more, more, more" to emphasizing holistic health and recovery to achieve better performance. We were at the forefront then, just as we are today, with the shift from "burnout" culture to one of sustained high performance.
