In S2Ep15 of the PRP, Adam jibber jabbers with eccentrically seasoned runner, rambling legal ace, proud father of three, and prolific Strava follow Jesse Sweeney who has been preparing for the Wasatch 100 on September 9th, 2022.  Jesse deep dives into his long relationship with running and articulates how his journey with the sport has played a major role in nearly ever other aspect of his life. Most uniquely, the PRP listenership is regaled with the tale of how Jesse bravely positioned himself to throw his business and career towards things he loves to do. For him, it means having more frequent access to mountains. Thus was born his independent legal practice that he still operates in both Colorado and Michigan today.

Brent McDermott, enthusiastic community builder, seasoned PRP alumni, founder of Bandit Races and proud dod daddy returns to the show to learn more about the Sweenster while offering his kind and lucid opinions on the significant role running can play in our lives. Brent provides a riveting chronological review of all Bandit '22 events and does not fail to disappoint as he introduces a new segment to the PRP entitled Speed Work. 

The lads get vulnerable as Jesse shares intimate details about a life threatening health scare he underwent last year. Although he has been fortunate to catch his symptoms early and is blessed to be in a position of proactivity with this condition, he offers a veracious PSA to all who undertake some form of endurance based movement. Jesse's true and unadulterated love for the sport is displayed in hilarious ways throughout the episode as he time and time again inspirationally embodies a lifestyle driven by the lighthouse that is running.

Mr. Feeny? Is Brent a dog-saving hero? Who do ya got, Dr. Seuss or Shel Silverstein? Wait, are bananas radioactive?! Big birthday race, say whaa?! What in tarnation is an ombudsman?! Does Sweeney often cry during trail races whilst listening to his favorite Taylor Swift albums? What exactly are the vulnerability shorts? Have you tried Brent’s famous banana brulee'? Why stress on the deuce? All of this, and tons of other wild ride topics in this humorous and motivational episode of the PRP.
