Jesse Sumrak has long been a best friend of mine and is such a positive influence on my life that I had to interview him on the podcast. During this episode we discuss what it takes to become a successful ultra marathoner and some of the nutritional and training habits that he has in his life. We also talk about the successful fitness blog that Jesse founded and sold as well as what it's like to work in a growing tech company in Denver, Colorado. As usual expect interesting conversation as well as a few golden take aways from this hour long conversation. Thanks for listening!

So excited to share this episode with all of our listeners as I think that it captures a lot of what I hope this podcast will become. My brother Matt and I take a few hours to discuss significant things in our life from Post Malone to elk hunting to video games to Game of Thrones to reading to art. We talk about a few hilarious experiences we have had together that helped form us into the people we are today. We also touch on some of the lessons that we've learned along the way and things that we are doing to live productive lives. If you're looking for a podcast to both educate and uplift, then look no further.

For this first episode of The Ben Steele Show, I had the opportunity to sit down with two of my good friends from the Marine Corps to discuss what makes them go hard everyday. We touch on a variety of topics from Marine Corps Officer Candidate School, to The Basic School, to being an officer in the military, to fitness, to morning routines, to things we are doing to live our best lives in general. I have to apologize, the audio isn't quite the quality I would have hoped for my first go, but there were still some golden nuggets in here so I figured I had to publish it. I urge you to come on this journey with me and guarantee it will positively influence your life as it has mine.
