EP 678: Flashback Episode - Sh#@ You Don't Do On the Trail

Dr. Rob Bell discusses his book 'No One Gets There Alone' and emphasizes the importance of relationships and connectivity in achieving personal and professional goals. He shares a personal story of receiving help during a race and how it changed his mindset. The conversation explores:   Success is not solely a product of individual effort; relationships and connectivity play a crucial role.  Helping others can improve our own performance and mindset.  Competition is about competing against ourselves and overcoming our own mental barriers.  Treating others differently and offering support can have a significant impact on their performance and well-being.  Changing our language and self-talk can positively influence our mindset and performance. Helping others not only benefits them but also helps us grow and improve.  Shifting from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset opens up opportunities and fosters cooperation.  Choosing the right models and looking beyond the top achievers can provide inspiration and guidance.  No one achieves their goals alone; we all need support and encouragement from others.  Some of the other podcast episodes we have done with Rob revolve around a couple of other books.  Most recently,  "I Can't Wait to be Patient" and  "Puke & Rally".   Learn more about Dr. Bell HERE We mentioned "The Man in The Arena" by Theodore Roosevelt Find out more about this episode's sponsors:  Janji Arc'teryx and also join their Strava Challenge!

EP 677: No One Gets There Alone

What if there was a way to instantly diagnose and address running issues right on the trail? In this episode, we talk about the new Trail Triage app.  We speak with the team that developed the app answering these and other key questions:  What is Trail Triage? Why was it developed? How can it help me on my training runs and racing? How do I access it? Where does the content come from?  Can I trust it? How much does it cost?  Trail Triage is an innovative new tool that can assist runners, pacers, crew, and aid station volunteers tackle common challenges during runs. Trail Triage is a free mobile app that currently identifies 13 common issues a trail runner might be faced with.  The app then helps you diagnose the issue, and provides some solutions that might help and let you know if it is serious enough to DNF or not. This is the team who brought this vision to life:  • Bob Crowley, who sparked the original idea;  • Dr. John Anderson, a seasoned emergency physician whose medical insights are woven into the core of the app; and  • Scott Vosburg, the tech wizard who turned these ideas into reality.
