In this episode of the 3, 2, 1 Go,' hosts John Pelkey and Carissa Galloway feature a special interview with Matt Bowen, known as 'Matt the Flag Guy.' The interview covers Matt's inspiring story of running Disney races while carrying an American flag to honor veterans and raise awareness for veteran suicide. Matt shares his background growing up, his service in the military, and his journey to becoming an iconic figure in the running community. He discusses his preparation rituals, the challenges of running with a flag, and the emotional stories of people he has encountered along the way. The episode also highlights Matt's involvement with Operation 300, a charity supporting Gold Star families, and offers insights into physical and mental health for athletes.
