A podcast with me, Jan Frodeno, where I sit down with people who know what it feels like to hit the edge and sometimes go way past it. Physically, mentally, emotionally. In every episode, we dig into questions that don’t leave you alone: What actually drives us? What holds us back? And how do we grow beyond the person we thought we were? We talk about the search for meaning, identity and the tiny details that turn good into great. But also about the things most of us keep quiet: the setbacks, the doubt, the loneliness, the dark stretches that never make it into the highlight reel. This podcast is for anyone who wants honest conversations, real resilience, and stories that go deeper than results. If you’re curious about what happens in that space between breaking down and breaking through - enjoy the show.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-08T08:19:32.767713+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/frodeno-going-mental-7652943"},"episode":{"title":"Broken Bones, Tour Wins & Why Happiness Beats Pressure - Tom Pidcock","slug":"broken-bones-tour-wins-why-happiness-beats-pressure-tom-pidcock","published_at":"2026-06-08T01:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/frodeno-going-mental-7652943/broken-bones-tour-wins-why-happiness-beats-pressure-tom-pidcock","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/frodeno-going-mental-7652943","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/PDS9292868863.mp3","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/PDS9292868863.mp3","summary":"What does it take to win Olympic gold after breaking your collarbone just weeks before the Games? In this episode of Going Mental, Jan Frodeno sits down with Tom Pidcock.

He explains why he walked away from one of cycling's biggest teams, how he rebuilt confidence with Q36.5 and what the Tour de France is really like from the inside.
