Fuel For Warriors

Sid Busch is a retired Navy Senior Chief that runs marathons in honor of fallen troops. I first discovered him while reading an article in Runners World.

Sid is nearing 70 years of age, and is sure he'll have to slow down soon, but continues to run the marathons that he can.

When asked what it means to be warrior, Sid had this to say:

"Somebody who is willing to give everything up to include his life for protection of the country."

In this week’s episode, Sid talks with Tim about what it means to be a warrior, challenges she is facing, and what ultimately inspires him. 

We also learn about Sid's relationship with the younger generation, the support he receives, and how he plans to support veterans after he can no longer run marathons.

I know you’ll enjoy the interview with Sid. Be sure to share your thoughts on Twitter using #FuelForWarriors.

Join us this week to learn about Mylee's visit to some refugee camps in the Middle East, her lace bra tattoo, modeling, fitness, and more.

"TAME THE MIND / TRAIN THE MIND"

Armor Down created this motto to stand in contrast to combat-training slogans. By means of mindfulness techniques, Armor Down aims to tame the hypervigilant mind and retrain it to process events and sensations in a much calmer, more even-tempered way.

This week's Warrior is Army veteran Ben King. Ben is the founder of Armor Down and Mindful Memorial Day.

Ben speaks with Tim regarding a handful of topics:
