This is why Triathlon Taren quit his job and did away with wearing suits and carrying briefcases in exchange for running shoes and triathlon bikes. Triathlon Taren started the day with a swim workout from triathlon coach Brett Sutton, then later explains the reasons he started Triathlon Taren.

I had to stop my car to post this :) Taren, I work for a large bank and wanted to be an financial advisor for a long time, long story :) I appreciate your openness and your full disclosure. Your vlogs here are the most enjoyable. I check yours out first, Cycling Maven second, and GCN and others last. Please bring the daily fixes lol :)

That's one of the lots of reason why daily vlogging is SO HARD. When gopro let you down (and it will), you are screwed. I know the feeling! Other than that, KUDOS for having the balls to quit your job to do what you love!!

Thanks Taren! Working on redefining my life after some major changes the last 18 months. And triathlons are part of the equation....first sprint is 24 June. Keep up the great work - really appreciate it!

I'm a software salesman in Silicon Valley and let's just say I relate to the lack of fulfillment. GQ styling is great and all but so is flying helicopters. I listen and learn from people like you. Thanks.

I followed a similar route as you and could say exactly what you said. I quit what I thought I couldn’t just be doing for 40 years even though I had a job basically granted and completely changed to something I was enjoying, and still am 10 years from now. Because that’s just me. Every work has its chores, but coming to work with a smile on my face was more important than getting a bigger paycheck ;) It was terrifying too, I thought about it for months before finally pulling the trigger, never regretted it :)

Truly inspiring my friend. I wish I have your courage! I have a lot of student loans to pay so I need this desk job for now lol. However I wish to become a pro-triathlete at some point in my life when I have more financial freedom!

I am a huge fan of nature too and the simple fact that I am running in the woods makes me feel extremely happy. I enjoy computer programming too but the level of satisfaction is nothing comparable to that of swimming in the ocean or running in nature. I guess our bodies are made to move instead of sitting in front of the computer for 10 hours a day.

+Jerry Shen amen brother!!! Clean up those student loans then live dangerously! I was lucky not to have too much debt when I graduated, and had some fortunate life scenarios that gave me the support I needed to leave suit-life, but I realize not everyone can do that. Soon buddy, soon

I'm sorry Taren, but who doesn't like wearing a suit?! Forget the briefcase, but feeling fancy in a suit is a GREAT feeling! No?
