ben kanute - New Era, New Goals

As a producer, I’ve been lucky to watch Neal Henderson coach some of the best athletes in the world—but this year feels different. He’s stepping out more, and so are the stories.

In this episode, Neal sits down with Olympian and long-course pro Ben Kanute to talk about what it’s like to reset everything: training, home base, even mindset. Ben’s now working with Neal, training in Boulder, and chasing something bigger—not just results, but longevity, purpose, and maybe a little fun again.

If you’ve ever found yourself at a turning point—or needed a reminder that progress isn’t always loud—this one’s worth your time. Ben races this weekend in Frankfurt. This conversation is the build-up behind the build-up.
