  • #51 with 2009 Western States Champ Anita Ortiz

    Thank you for dropping in for another installment of the DO BIG THINGS podcast.  Today, I chat with Anita Ortiz.  She has a storied career in ultramarathons and she has racked up enough wins AND injuries to last a couple of lifetimes.  We chat about what it took for her to win WS100 as well as what her running and training looks like now at age 56.  She's got the heart of a champion and I really enjoyed talking to her, I'm excited to bring this one to you guys.

  • #50 with My Friend Mark
    Thank you for tuning in to another episode.  Did you know that more than 750,000 people have died since 1999 from a drug overdose? Two out of three drug overdose deaths in 2018 involved an opioid.  My guest today has seen some dark days in his Life.  However, he is on the rebound and doing some BIG THINGS in his Life.  This conversation is dark but there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.  My man Mark deserves nothing but love and support.  Give it up!

  • #49 with Kaitlyn Yonke

    Thank you for dropping by and checking out another episode of the DO BIG THINGS podcast.  My guest today just ran the White Rim Road in Canyonlands National Park faster than any other woman, ever.  She did it in 20 hours and 19 minutes!  She not only went out there and lit it up but she was running with a purpose.  Her father has Multiple Sclerosis, so she dedicated every 10 miles to someone with MS and saved the last 10 miles for her dad.  How cool is that?  If you'd like to donate to her cause, you can do so at msruntheus.org.  Please check it out and donate what you feel inspired to do.  This is a great cause and it would help Kaitlyn out on her mission.

  • #48 with Alex Bearnson
    Welcome to the DO BIG THINGS podcast, thanks for joining us!  My guest today just completed the Moab 240.  That's a 240 mile run and he did it with only one 50k race under his belt!  He's never run a hundred miler and he doesn't consider himself a runner.  How cool is that?  He offers a lot in this episode.  We go deep into the murky waters right from jump, we talk about religion, addiction, fighting our demons and what it takes to run 240 miles.  Alex is super raw, honest and vulnerable in our conversation, so I ask that you please show him nothing but kindness.  He is all heart!  Find him @bearnson on the Gram and find us @big.things.crewing.  Life is short, DO BIG THINGS!

  • #45 with KK Fischer
    Thank you for joining me for another installment of the DO BIG THINGS podcast!  I really enjoy finding inspiration and chatting with anyone doing BIG THINGS in their life.  You know, people who have a little extra sparkle in their eyes.  Folks who aren’t afraid to get after it.  My guest today, is no exception.  KK Fischer has only been running ultramarathons for a few years but that didn’t deter her from running the Moab 240 just a couple of weeks ago.  For the uninitiated, that is a 240 mile run!  Find us at big-things-crewing.com.  Life is short, DO BIG THINGS!

    Thank you for joining me for another episode of the DO BIG THINGS podcast.  I'm pumped to bring you today's episode!  Kyle Burgess aka The Cougar Guy was stalked for six minutes by a mountain lion trying to protect her cubs.  He ended up getting the entire encounter on video and it has gone viral within the last few days.  I was so stoked to chat with him and hear his version of the story.  You can find Kyle on the Gram @kunkyle and you can find us @big.things.crewing or big-things-crewing.com.  Life is short, DO BIG THINGS!
