On this episode of the Do Epic Shit Today Podcast, I sit down with the incredible Olly Wrinch. A retired Big Mountain skier and mountain biker, Olly has since found his purpose as a Stress Management and Sleep Optimization Coach - and holy crap, he’s epic at it.

Our conversation left me speechless at times. Olly shared powerful insights on perspective, validation, and navigating life’s journey. His grounded, compassionate approach is something we all need more of.

A few key takeaways from our chat:

• You are enough - just as you are. Full stop.
• Sleep is crucial for both performance and managing stress.
• We often chase outcomes, but the magic is in learning to love the process.
• Stress is a natural part of life. The real issue? Not recovering from it - leading to burnout.
• It’s okay to humble yourself. If something feels too big, shrink the task - not your worth.
• Reflect on this: Where are you seeking validation? Is it serving you?

This episode feels like a virtual hug - a reminder of your value as a human, a deep dive into how stress affects performance and daily life, and a beautiful truth: regardless of your accolades or medals, you are enough.

On this episode of the Do Epic Shit Today Podcast, I sit down with Amanda Hoang - a woman who’s inspired the hell out of me for years. I finally worked up the nerve to invite her on the show to share her incredible story.

Why? Because Amanda is the definition of doing epic shit. She works full-time, is a mom to three amazing kids, lights up social media with her positive, high-energy presence, and is an absolute beast when it comes to running (and honestly, so many other aspects of life).

Most recently, Amanda completed her third marathon - just 10 months postpartum - with a blazing new personal record of 3:16. Her honesty and vulnerability in sharing her running journey, all while navigating motherhood, a career, and training online, have made her a standout voice and a source of inspiration to so many - myself included. 

This episode is all about shining a light for anyone curious about balancing all the things they love—especially for those considering parenthood and wondering if big goals still fit into the picture. News flash: they totally do.

On this episode of the Do Epic Shit Today Podcast, I share four powerful concepts I’ve learned from interviewing over 80 incredible guests and navigating some big personal changes in recent months.

These insights are designed to help you:

• Reframe negative thoughts into empowering ones!
• Disassociate from limiting beliefs that don’t serve you or help you. 
• Remember that you are in control of your life and perspective. 

Some questions I highlight are:

• How can you look at something that you may see as a loss or a negative and flip into something that can bring you value? 
• How can you learn from a mistake? 
• How can you take advantage of unexpected changes (or even adversity) and extract the hidden opportunities? 

This episode is your reminder that life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you. You’re in the driver’s seat—and you are absolutely worthy of the remarkable life you envision.

On this episode of the Do Epic Shit Today podcast, I sit down with the incredibly insightful and balanced human Gabe Gerhauser, a 7-time marathon runner who has been immersed in the running world for over five years, and has achieved the impressive feat of completing a sub-3-hour marathon. He's also a certified running coach and the founder of his own business, Sonoran Running. (Fun fact: marathon running runs in his family—his mom has completed over 75 marathons!)

In our conversation, we dive into the physical aspects and strategies of marathon training, but we also explore deeper topics, including:

• The pursuit of and MAINTAINING balance during intense training cycles
• Reframing the feeling of being overwhelmed, rather than associating it with negativity
• Understanding what you can control and letting go of what you can’t
• Maintaining a big-picture perspective when you don’t always meet your goals (whether race-related or personal)

Running is incredibly applicable to life, and this episode highlights that perfectly.

 We touch on topics that resonate across various areas: starting a business,  training for your first (or tenth) marathon, and how someone as driven as Gabe finds a way to balance enjoying life while accomplishing EPIC goals.

On this episode of the Do Epic Shit Today Podcast, I chat with the awesomely epic, Danny Radford about life's endless possibilities and his North Star. I was introduced to Danny by a past guest, and right from the start, I could feel his positive energy through the phone. As we talked, we swapped adventure stories, physical feats and how we’ve both broken free from limiting mindsets—especially the ones we place on ourselves.

Danny's life is filled with incredible adventures, from hiking Mount Kilimanjaro (the world’s largest free-standing mountain) to tackling the Grand Canyon, competing in a charity boxing challenge that raised £17,000, publishing a novel, and constantly seeking new experiences to stay open to endless opportunities.

But what really makes Danny stand out is his "why." His main drive to be a better person is to inspire his daughter. He wants to show her that she can do anything she puts her mind to—there are no limits to what she can achieve.

In this episode, Danny shares how his love for his daughter has pushed him to become the best version of himself and how it’s changed the way he goes after his goals. When someone you love is your motivation to live a better life, it has the power to inspire not only yourself but also everyone around you—to live without limits or fear.

Listen in for some serious inspiration and motivation to chase your own goals and remember: the only limits that exist are the ones we place on ourselves.

On this episode of the Do Epic Shit Today Podcast, I chat with the super rad and determined human Rhett Abernathy. In 2024, Rhett achieved more than some people achieve in a lifetime. He graduated from a respected nursing program, competed in a bodybuilding competition, finished 2 half marathons, a 70.3 Ironman, and a marathon. Did I mention that this was Rhett’s first time doing all of those races?

Rhett chats with me about where he pulls his motivation from, how he manages his time to make sure his priorities are aligned with his goals, and how even at the end of a 12-hour shift, Rhett still finds the time to pursue his passions.

This episode is a great conversation and a reminder about how we make time for what matters most to us and how THE SKY'S THE DAMN LIMIT.

What’s next for Rhett? Well, nothing short of spectacular. Later this year, Rhett has locked in on a FULL Ironman and a few extra races to help him prepare, not to mention some professional goals that’ll make an impression.

Listen in to feel the spark that ignites the reminder: YOU ARE CAPABLE OF MUCH MORE THAN YOU GIVE YOURSELF CREDIT FOR.

On this episode of The Do Epic Shit Today Podcast I chat with Manika, an inspiring human who has set out with the goal of accomplishing a 155 Mile Ultra Marathon Grand Slam. These four races take place all over the world; Namibia, Mongolia, the Atacama Desert in Chile and Antarctica. Currently Manika is half way through with her goal, as she’s completed two  (Namibia & Mongolia) out of the four. 

Manika and I chat about what she’s looking forward to in her next race and her reasons behind setting such a massive goal and all of the logistics required for just her next race alone - like mandatory gear, the actual journey itself to get to get to her race destination and so much more! 

In addition, Manika recently transitioned from living the “comfortable” apartment life, to life on the road. She and I discussed and recorded the podcast whilst she sat with the most amazing background - just her radiating positive energy, basking in nature and living life to the fullest.
