Racing Against Time: Jeff Weiss on Fitness, Startups & Big Audacious Goals After 50

WITneSSes

In this episode, Amb. Elisha sits down with Jeff Weiss—lawyer, startup leader, endurance athlete, and author of Racing Against Time—to discuss personal transformation, resilience, and peak performance after age 50.

Jeff shares his remarkable journey from practicing patent law to joining a startup that became a unicorn, faced bankruptcy, and ultimately had a successful exit. But that’s just one side of his story.

Starting at age 48, Jeff committed to fitness—running his first marathon just before turning 50, completing ultra-marathons, and finishing Ironman races in his late 50s.

His story is a testament to the power of reinvention in midlife.

🔑 Key Topics Covered:

• How Jeff transitioned from law to leading a startup

• The mental and physical impact of taking up endurance sports after 50

• Lessons from running marathons, ultra-marathons, and Ironmans

• What it really means to chase a Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG)

• Why failure (like missing the Comrades Marathon finish) can lead to even greater growth

• Practical advice for starting a fitness journey at any age

• Insights from his book: Racing Against Time
