I continue my conversation with Ultraman race announcer Steve King.  In this episode, we focus on how he became an announcer and what it takes for him to deliver such great material.  Even at a belly flop contest.

In the Ultraman Canada 2021 athlete profile section, I speak with a Japanese athlete, Makoto Hoshino, who has climbed the Seven Summits.  We talk about growth and the lessons he learned taking on the challenge.  You will be surprised by his answers.

Episode Summary:

Welcome to the first episode!  I am starting it off with a bang.  I completed a lengthy interview with Ultraman race announcer Steve King.  So lengthy, that I decided to split it into three parts.  In this episode Steve shares stories of the life changing events he attended during his athletic career as a race walker, triathlete and endurance runner. 

You will also be introduced to upcoming Ultraman Canada 2021 participant Chad Bentley. Chad is a well-respected plant-based endurance athlete.  He is a marathoner, Ultra-marathoner, multi-time Ironman finisher, 2-time Ultraman finisher, 2-time Ultra 520 finisher, and the first Canadian to compete in the EPIC 5 Challenge.
