I've never interviewed someone so at peace with themselves. This interview with Ian Morgan felt real and honest and kind. There's something in his eyes that I think we all want.

[Presented by Naked Sports Innovations]

In this interview we talk about his relationship with alcohol, the sedentary life, and the way he left it behind.

He also died once while running and came back to life to tell the story.

Take this episode with you on a run to find inspiration to keep going.

Brett Harrison started Red Knot Racing Co. as an expression of his heart for Tanzania, Tanzanians, and running.  His first mission, however, is not running.  It's community development.

[Presented by Naked Sports Innovations]

Brett moved to Tanzania in 2009 where, among other things, he helped improve agricultral practices.  But over time, his staff grew to 15 local Tanzanians who started putting on endurance events at the base of Kilimanjaro and to this day is the only organization permitted to do them year after year.

But again, its not about the races.  Races are a means of community development.

To an outsider, you see world class events and assume he's building something to sell to UTMB or building an empire for empire's sake.  He's not.  He's building something to positively impact the lives of Tanzanians.

By the way, Red Knot puts on the largest outdoor sports festival in East Africa with 1,500 attendees.

Check out Red Knot Racing and Red Knot Development.

Jason Schlarb started his running career ~15 years ago when the frontier of ultrarunning was much less developed.

[Presented by Naked Sports Innovations]

Today, while still running at an elite level himself, Jason is managing the Norda athlete team in a way that was impossible through most of his career.

Josh and Jason had a chat in a loud restaurant after a hard (for Josh) run in Annecy, France celebrating the Norda 005s along with French running store Quatorze.

Rocky Raccoon is an iconic rooty and rootsy East Texas race that many great runners run as a right of passage.

Presented by Naked Sports Innovations

Jordan rightfully places Rocky Raccoon 100 in the upper eschelon of Texas Trail ultrarunning races comparing its endless loops to Lightnin' Hopkins and the endless 12 bar blues.

Thanks to our special guests: Zach Bitter, Joe Prusaitis, PJ Izaguirre, Brandon Dutra, and Chris McWatters.

The Mount to Coast H1s are affordable, well-designed, and durable. The problem? Inventory. They've rolled these out so well that they're hard to get in some markets.

Presented by Naked Sports Innovations

Inky and Josh jump in talk H1s, Hoka's revival of the Speedgoat 2s, Inkys run for the homeless of Manchester, pricing strategy, and more.

Are the Mount to Coast H1s a competitor of the Norda 005?

We explore.
