Mark is no stranger to hard work and the mentality required to thrive. However his deepest struggles in life have come in moments in which he's been short of confidence. It took 34 grueling miles on a muggy day in east Texas to overcome his own doubts. With the race on the line and his body beginning to betray him, he leaned on the "process" and his own journey to give him the confidence to breakthrough his mental barriers, push through physical pain and achieve greatness.

Mark and Michael sit down with award winning chef and admitted obsessive runner, Marc Quinones, to discuss his journey and the similarities between being an accomplished chef and driven athlete. Despite his success, he isn't a stranger to struggle and he's had to overcome a lot to get to this point. When Marc isn't winning awards at his restraunt, cooking on TV shows like chopped or appearing on the food network - he's logging miles on the pavement and trails of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Change is the only constant in life, and the hosts have been no stranger to adversity - it was when they developed the tools to overcome that each of their live's took off.

“If you feel lost, disappointed, hesitant, or weak, return to yourself, to who you are, here and now and when you get there, you will discover yourself, like a lotus flower in full bloom, even in a muddy pond, beautiful and strong.”

It's 2020, lets party! Michael, Mark and Pat discuss their goals for 2020. Pat discusses his upcoming cross-country bike adventure, Michael speaks about his Boston 2020 race and beyond. Mark has a new sponsor, talks about his future plans for reinventing himself as an athlete, and his approach for accomplishing those goals.

There are two types of pain: the instant pain of sacrifice for your goal or the permanent pain of regret. It's up to us to choose our path.
