OCRWC was last weekend in Mammoth Lakes, CA and we wanted to have Ja Shua Ried on for his own episode to talk about his experience!

Ja Shua was a prominent member of the OCR in the northeast before moving to Colorado, we chose him to be one of our sponsored athletes back in episode 300, and he has been Mike's coach for the past few months!

Hear us discuss van life out west, his athletic background, how he found OCR, the thrill of making the world your playground through fitness, his experience at OCRWC, his recovery from his shoulder injury in Tahoe, his interest in helping others in the sport, his upcoming FKT in the Grand Canyon, and more!
