Do Epic Shit Today Podcast

On this episode of the Do Epic Shit Today Podcast, I chat with Rob Dalto, a rad human who just concluded his 2024 journey of finishing all Abbott World Marathon Majors (and yes he also completed Sydney Marathon for bonus points) with the goal of finishing all marathon majors in under 3 hours. For those who aren’t aware, the six Abbott World Majors are; Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, and New York City, and with the new addition of the Sydney Marathon (announcement was made late in 2024) which now brings the total to now seven. 

Rob and I chat about setting lofty goals and the impact it can have on your potential even if you fall short; Rob was able to accomplish a sub 3 hour marathon time for 5/7 of the world majors. 

We also discuss the Bronx Burners, giving back to causes bigger than our own, the power of human connection, where Rob came up with the concept of making his own gels for fuel (rather than buying the expensive options on the market), his recovery plans for the remainder of 2024 and more. 

When I asked Rob what his biggest takeaway was for folks listening to the episode he stated that it was to never forget or dismiss our human potential; “set and go for the goal even if it is scary”. 

Listen in and get inspired.

On this episode of the Do Epic Shit Today Podcast, I share a few notes that I’ve picked up whilst being in the running community to help encourage others to give the sport a try. 

I am no expert by any means, but since being in the running world for about four years and a few races under my belt, I hope to share some tips that could help others not feel so intimidated and feel more inclined to give the sport a go. 

Some tips include: 

• There is no such thing as a runner’s body. You have a body and you run, therefore you have a runner’s body. 
• Calling out the running gear you actually need vs what you think you do. 
• The power of the running community and how it can impact your mental space on what is possible. 
• Understanding that discomfort is a normal part of the process. 

Hope this helps to those out there who could use a little boost! 
Have a stellar week!

On this episode of the Do Epic Shit Today Podcast, I sat down with my crew chief (*cough husband) to talk about the super crazy adventure that the Back on the Ranch 100 Miler provided; a 3.3 mile loop in the hot Los Olivos, California sun. 
An immense amount of sh*t  went down in those 27 hours - the mind games, the lack of sleep and delusion, the relentless sun and kind and epic humans I met along the way. Due to a potential race cancellation, I signed up for this particular race, 6 days prior to race day and the narrative to get my ass to the start line - is a gnarly and entertaining story.
Listen in for some helpful ultra race tips, how I was able to navigate the mental challenges, the importance of having a kickass crew and some wholesome chuckles.

On this episode of the Do Epic Shit Today Podcast, I sat down with Gary Black, a rad human who had a dream of launching an eyewear brand dedicated to resolving gaps that many athletes face - their ability to SEE while training and performing. Enter Kuro Athletics. 

With the launch of Kuro Athletics, Gary talks to me about his main focal point  - providing high quality and durable eyewear for athletes that use prescription glasses. Nothing quite like transiting from a swim to bike during an Ironman to lose a contact lens, or battling with distorted vision while trying to perform your best during a race. 

We further discuss: 

• The research that Gary had conducted to find the best solution to the massive gap in performance eyewear. (manufacturers, metal preferences, etc.)
• The processes to get the business off the ground and tangible glasses in athletes hands.
• How to maintain company vision and goals in a saturated eyewear market. 
• The process of overcoming doubt when launching a business. 
• Future goals and expansion of Kuro Athletics into other areas of the performance space. ie. 

This episode is an epic opportunity to learn more about Kuro Athletics, how to attack the launch of a business and the process it entails, stay true to company values and how to truly Do Epic Shit Today.

On this episode of the Do Epic Shit Today Podcast, I chat with Kasia Gruchalla-Wesierski, a Canadian Olympic rower (A Gold & Silver Medalist) who is the epitome of an actual badass. Kasia and I chat have an authentic conversation about what it truly takes to win gold at the Olympics, the determination and isolation whilst training, and staying locked in on her lifelong goals whilst powering through major setbacks. While her medals are something worth discussing there’s more to Kasia than being a historical Olympian - she’s an exceptionally kind human who is ready for the next chapter of life. This episode is one that will fill your empowerment cup and inspire you to never lose sight of your goals and aspirations.

Cheers to an epic conversation with such a rad human.

On this episode of the Do Epic Shit Today Podcast, I sat down with Joanna Burga (@waveofconsciousness) - who recently returned from a six month sabbatical focused purely on attracting abundance, started her own private practice AND launched a retreat business.

Ask yourself: "Is there something in your life that is holding you back? Are you living the life that YOU want to live or based on someone's else's expectations?"

Joanna shares her personal journey and the mindset shift that allowed her to view life in a more opportunistic way by reframing obstacles into opportunities. We chat about this in the following areas: 

- Financially (she was able to buy land in Costa Rica for a future retreat business)

- Personally (she was able to see her taking 6 months off from work as a personal investment) 

- Professionally (due to the time off that she took, she was able to attract six clients to her private practice) 

📌This is a great conversation to help spark inspiration for those who feel they are lacking empowerment to look outside the status-quo.

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 - in ONE calendar year. 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, she’s completed two (Namibia & Mongolia) out of the four. Her next race will take place later this year in Antarctica and Manika and I chat about what she’s looking forward to, her reasons to set 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 Antarctica and some of the amazing components that makes this race so amazing. 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.

On this episode of the Do Epic Shit Today Podcast, I chat with Rusty Redden - an epic human who followed his intuition from an unfulfilling marketing position into the therapy space when he discovered his passion for helping those around him.

Not only is Rusty on his way to securing his Marriage and Family Therapist license but he’s also an insanely kind, considerate and caring human who shares his thoughts on what burnout actually is, navigating burnout and the power of silence. A key theme throughout; do you give yourself the space to feel?

This episode provides amazing tidbits of knowledge on:
1.  understanding what “burnout” is
2. perceived time poverty
3. sharing past learning experiences on the subject matter and more.

Nick reminds us that we get ONE life and it’s up to us to choose how we want to live it.
