Running from Hebbal to Shantinagar before sunrise. Cycling from Shantinagar to Sarjapur for work. Repeating the entire loop in reverse by evening. Clocking 24 km of running every single day — just to prepare for a 100K race.

This is the life Manoj Bhat chose.

From cutting short his honeymoon and asking his wife to meet him at the finish line, to running 75 km with a congested chest — Manoj’s journey often looks like madness from the outside.

But beneath it lies a simple philosophy: Pick one thing. Hold on to it. Let everything else dance around it.

That philosophy began years ago in Boopasandra, Bengaluru — with long walks, quiet runs, and discipline built unknowingly. It carried him from local trails to ultra races, from 202 km in 24 hours to wearing the India jersey, and winning a team bronze at the Asian Championships.

Even two ACL surgeries couldn’t stop him. Life tried. Injuries tried. But Manoj kept returning to that one thing — running.

Today, he is rebuilding, chasing, and dreaming again. A reminder that when you commit deeply enough to one thing, it can take you farther than you ever imagined.

What if the strength you build in your twenties shows up in your fifties? What if discipline in the gym quietly shapes success at work? In this episode of Intentionality, we sit down with Krishna Kumar Shetty, a former CEO of leading global automobile brands and a Masters powerlifter who began competing at 57. Krishna started training in his twenties and never stopped. Across decades of demanding leadership roles, global travel, and family responsibilities, he protected one non-negotiable habit: movement. That discipline didn’t just build a strong body, it built clarity, consistency, and excellence in his professional life. Today, he stands on powerlifting platforms, winning gold medals in the Masters category, proving that age is not a limitation when habits are built early and carried forward intentionally. This conversation explores: How to build discipline young and sustain it for life What a CEO’s day really looks like — and how fitness fits into it Why starting early allows you to peak later The role of family and environment in shaping lifelong fitness Why competing as a Masters athlete is about mastery, not medals Krishna Kumar Shetty’s story is a reminder that discipline doesn’t retire — and when you live with intent, every decade can be your prime. Listen in for a conversation on strength, leadership, and living life with purpose. 🎙️ Shot at MiddleOvers Studios — a professional podcast studio in Bangalore known for cozy creator-friendly spaces, cinematic setups, and top-tier audio-video equipment for podcasts, interviews, and long-form storytelling. 🌿 Sponsored by The Glampies — a premium glamping destination near Bangalore where luxury meets nature, adventure meets calm, and every stay is designed for meaningful escapes.

At 17, Laksh Jain signed up for an Ironman without knowing how to swim. He trained in his apartment pool using YouTube. Finished Ironman 70.3 Goa in 6:01. Came back two years later and clocked 5:19:55.

But this isn’t just a triathlon story.

It’s about a 20-year-old from Rajajinagar who walked away from cricket, skipped college lectures to train, sold his bike when he almost gave up—and still chose to return stronger. Today, he splits his time between racing Ironman events and building a performance socks brand, InSkinn.

This is a story about choosing discomfort over convenience. About showing up with no excuses. And about chasing something bigger than “just a degree.”

🎙️ In this episode of Intentionality, we talk about:

• The mindset of a young athlete and entrepreneur
• Why he almost quit triathlon—and what brought him back
• How he balances Ironman training with building a startup
• Why he refuses to live an average life

Whether you’re an athlete, student, founder, or someone still figuring life out—this episode will remind you of one thing: You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to start.
