In this episode, I speak with my friend, Zac Domagalski about his journey toward, through, and after the Brimbank Ultramarathon. Listening to this incredible storyteller talk a bit about his trials and tribulations really sets the bar high for inspirational tales of trials, tribulations, and, ultimately, success.

Some of the takeaway bullet points are:

1. A lot can happen during a race... Race day is never guaranteed but you can still finish.

2. You can beat negative thoughts. Just keep going.

3. There's always a reprieve. You will always find "the cup" to help yo ualong the way.

4. It's ok to change the plan to get through the hard things.

5. Focus on those relationships that can keep you going,

6. The last part may be the hardest part, but that's where you will really find what you are made of.

Mariah is someone who goes above and beyond in her own life. She is a traveler, not only because she loves to travel… But she uses her travel experiences to teach us a little bit about stepping out of our comfort zones and becoming more and more motivated to really be the best version of ourselves. Never afraid of trying new things, Mariah often comes away with new life lessons from her travels and shares them with the world in a selfless way. I was lucky enough to catch her between trips to talk a little bit about what keeps her motivated to be the best version of herself. So I hope you enjoy this conversation with Mariah Macchiness.

Speaking with Mariah was an amazing opportunity and here's a few of the bullet points that are good to keep in mind:

1. Vulnerability and failure are not as bad as they seem. They will ultimately lead you to grow and learn new things.

2. Say 'yes' to new experiences and get out of your comfort zone to get the most out of your journey.

3. Mentality is everything. Be sure to stay hungry and positive because confidence is a big part of moving forward.

4. Don't be afraid to take risks and make mistakes. Those are all part of the journey.

5. No one person should have the power to tell you that you can't do what you want to do. Stay true to yourself.

6. Work on yourself a little bit every day to turn small changes into big accomplishments.

In this episode, you follow my progress on the Roller Coaster Run in the Mt. Dandenong Ranges. As I run through, you hear some of my personal experiences and struggles and how I turn those into lessons that can translate to everyday life.

While running through, there were definitely ups and downs but some of the main bullet points of what you can take away from this episode are:

1. Push through negativity. In any case, there will be positive aspects you can take away... whether it be lessons on how to cope better, becoming stronger, or finding out that you have more inside you than you thought.

2. Live in the moment and savour the moment. Take in those moments in your life that you are going through. Mindfully take mental snapshots by taking a deep breath and acknowledging what is going on around you.

3. Pay the positivity forward! Form positive bonds with everyone you can. Whatever positivity you find, try to help others to enjoy it as well. You have the power to help people on their journey.

3. Always keep going! The end will make all the struggles worth it. Getting to that victory position will make worth all of the trials and tribulations that you go through on the way.

In this episode, I speak with Andrew and Maria Lodola-Price about their experience with parkrun and what parkrun is all about. Andy and Maria both work in the educational sector and put in plenty of full-time hours throughout the week. Every Saturday, they also volunteer their time to make the Wyndham Vale parkrun event as exciting and motivating as possible. They even run themselves most of the time. Their passion and love for what they do shines through brilliantly in this conversation. They enjoy improving the quality of others' lives as much as their own.

Some bullet points to take away from this episode are:

1. Increasing fitness is a bonus... The community of parkrun is the greatest takeaway.

2. Parkrun was started in 2004 in the UK and came to Australia in 2011.

3. Seeing others reach goals and reaching your own creates a feeling of inspiration for wanting to go back again and again.

4. PARKRUN IS FREE!!!

5. Parkrun is not competitive and is inclusive to everyone.

6. You will never finish last!

7. Parkrun forms friendships that can last.

8. Keep an eye out for Junior parkrun!

9. Whatever preconceived notions you might have, just GO. You will love it.

10. Get onto the website and register to get your free barcode and bring a printed copy every time you parkrun.

Thanks so much Andy and Maria for your ongoing efforts!
