Olivia Chadwick was a personal trainer. Garnet Morris was an entrepreneur looking for support as he tried to improve his health. Their early morning runs, often before sunrise in the middle of Canadian winter, became the start of a meaningful friendship and a journey neither of them expected.

In this episode of Uncomfy, host Julie Rose talks with Olivia and Garnet about the habits that helped them both through difficult life transitions. Along the way, they discovered the value of coaching, friendship, and simply showing up.

Olivia and Garnet are co-authors of the book, “17 Runs: The Unbeaten Path to Unlock Life’s True Potential.” Learn more about their book at https://17runs.com.
