Oops! It's been a while. Between Madeira's recovery, the 40+ hours it took to get home from Madeira Island, working the Magoon ranch on the Big Island, and traveling to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for Satisfy, we just haven't had time to record a podcast. Never fear; we are back! In this episode, we deep dive into the six days I spent with the Satisfy team, Carson's experience in Jackson Hole and his emergency evac of the mountain, our workouts of the week, an upcoming Indonesia surf trip, and hacking the Instagram algorithm.

We also spend a moment giving thanks to my late athlete and friend, Danny Hartman, who died tragically and suddenly a few months ago. I wanted to give his family and community time to grieve, and I wasn't sure if I should say anything. But letting his death, and more importantly, his life, go unacknowledged has felt like hiding. So here's to Danny, a man whose impact reached far beyond his immediate circle and an athlete I was so lucky to get to know. He is missed by me, the Beast Coast running community, and everyone fortunate enough to interact with him along the way. Learn more about Danny in Vermont 100's Remembrance or read his obituary here.

Welcome back to BeRad The Pod. On this episode, I interview Carson about his ancestral history in Hawaiʻi, which stems back to Kaha Huha, a guardian of King Kamehameha who later became a chief of war and a skilled canoe shaper. We talk about his family's connection to the ocean, what he learned from growing up working with the land on his family's ranch, and how his relationship with running has changed now that he's married to a professional ultra runner. We wrap up the episode with some listener questions! This was one of our most requested episodes! Let us know what you think.

2025 is here, and we are here for it! On this episode of BeRad the Podcast, we lament our near-bursting septic tank, reveal my 2025 racing schedule, and discuss our goals for this new year.

2024 was a toughy, and a lot of that was due to the pressure my previous sponsor put on me while coming back from injury. Before every race, they would let me know that my contract was at risk, or I would be pressured into racing when I didn't feel ready. In this episode, we talk about how my new partnership with SATISFY and the freedom I feel in this new chapter of professional running.

BeRad, the podcast is BACK and has a new take. Carson and I got burned out with how we were structuring podcasts and wanted to offer a different take on our lives. One day, I was looking through our numbers. It struck me that the episodes Carson and I recorded together were some of the most listened-to episodes, second only to those we recorded with universal stars like Laird Hamilton and Des Linden. They were some of my favorites to record, too. On this first episode or the 36th, depending on how you look at it, is our 2024 in review, with some fun life updates and in-depth looks at what went wrong and what went right at my races last year.

If you made it this far, I appreciate you, but I must ask one more thing. Comment on this post or let me know in my DMs what you want to hear on BeRad The Pod. So far, we are chatting about navigating competitiveness in our running and other sports as a couple, managing my demanding schedule with his as two people going for big goals, navigating body image issues as athletes and as a couple, and more!

Hayden Hawks is a champion ultra runner- winning some of the biggest races in the sport. How does this busy Dad and coach succeed time and time again? Faith. Faith in himself, faith in his family, and faith that whatever happens on race day is meant to be. I loved learning how Hayden will be leaning on his relationship with God and with his faith as he toes the line at the 2024 Western States 100 the Saturday. Tune in for some insight on Hayden Hawks.

On a 2017 wintery morning in Boulder, CO, Abby Hall and I proclaimed our dreams to run at the highest level of the sport. While her journey spanned over years of shooting her shot and failing big, Abby never gave up on herself.
