- His friendships he created with the other top runners and how that eventually led them to all compete together at BYU

- How he read a book about Olympic athletes who shared his faith and that also contributed to his belief he could achieve his goals
- His focus on achieving his potential and finding his personal limits
- How he was already planning out his path to the Olympics at age 26 when he was a sophomore in high school, and the importance of engaging and and studying your craft
- His experience serving a mission for his church in Portugal, and how that affected his overall career
- How he went six years without a personal best due to his mission and repeated injuries
- His experience breaking the four-minute barrier with Jon at the Rafer Johnson/Jackie Joyner-Kersee Invitational in 2005 (and experiencing Diddy Riese cookies)
