What happens when someone spends a lifetime chasing the impossible and discovers something deeper along the way?

In this episode of I Can Fit That In, host Erin Coupe sits down with Eric Spencer, Chief Financial Officer at Universa Investments, endurance athlete, investor, author, and producer of the documentary The Badwater 135. From ultramarathons across extreme deserts to investing in groundbreaking biotech and producing films about human resilience, Eric shares how curiosity, discipline, and meaningful relationships have shaped an extraordinary path.

Along the way, he reflects on the deeper lessons behind endurance, opportunity, loss, and why success means more when it is directed toward helping others.

In this episode, we explore:

- What ultrarunning reveals about resilience and self-discovery

- How unexpected relationships create life changing opportunities

- Why purpose and impact matter more than achievement alone

If you have ever wondered what drives people to pursue massive goals and how those pursuits shape a meaningful life, this conversation will leave you inspired to trust your instincts and keep moving forward.
