On this episode, the boys had on special guest Michael Brizendine. Chris originally met Michael running at Bellarmine University, where they both ran in college. He now meets up with the boys for runs in the mornings and after telling his story on a run one day, we knew we had to share this on the pod.

Michael grew up in Haiti. You may remember the horrific 2010 earthquake that killed around 300,000 people. Michael has an amazing story of survival on that day that he tells on this episode.

Despite losing his loved ones on that day, Michael ended up coming to the US and living an amazing life. He earned a D1 scholarship for cross-country and track and is now the CEO of a tech startup. Despite living through one of the most horrific things a human could experience, Michael is the happiest guy with the biggest smile on his face everytime you see him.

We hope you enjoy getting to know Michael and are inspired by his amazing story!
