You know why I love Collin Morris? Because he called me up and said “I just started running 6 months ago and I’m signed up for Leadville 100”. That was all I needed to hear. I liked him. I was in. He was looking for a coach and to be honest, I let him know, listen man, that’s a tall order. I don’t think it’s impossible, but it’s a tall order. Since then, he has been doing everything I throw at him and he is doing great and on his way to the big one, the Leadville 100. I was pretty pumped he wanted to come on the show and share some of his journey. He and I both wrestle with mental health and with May being mental health awareness month, I was happy to have him on the show so that he can share his journey and hopefully inspire some people and give them hope. Did you know that 1 in 5 people in the US struggle with some form of mental illness? This last year, with the pandemic, those numbers have just increased. Over the last year, Alcohol and opioid consumption is most definitely on the rise and overdose deaths have spiked nearly 50%. These are staggering numbers. What is the answer? Collin and I are both doing our best to take care of ourselves. We both struggle. I think you’re going to dig this episode!
