Tune in here to this episode of Grits, Guts, and Determination, The Leadville Race Series Podcast, a leading authority for all things Leadville! Host Cole Chlouber, son of race founder Ken Chlouber, takes us on a story-telling journey of the 40-year rich history of this race. We learn all the tips, tricks, and stories from the Leadville community members! Joining us today is Dr. John Byrne.

In this episode John tells us what it was like growing up on the younger side of a large Catholic family. Find out what made John tick early in life to give him such a strong work ethic. You will also hear how all of this strengthened when John was asked later in his career about what "fired his jets." Fifteen years later and John's jets are still firing and in this episode he lets us know how it all started with Leadville and he's passionate about sharing it with you, his Leadville family.

Listen in and hear not only what John is up to today but what you can take from what John has already done and make your own lives count, make them better!
