Luke Stephenson is an Amarillo native now living in Aspen, CO. This interview took place a day after he won the annual Palo Duro Canyon 50 mile trail run. We talked about what it takes to be a ultra runner, both mentally and physically, and how he balances being newly married, working full time, and training for ultras. I found Luke to be a very genuine person and full of knowledge.

Frank Newsom is a professional bull fighter and travels with the PBR, which is one of rodeos largest stages. I enjoyed meeting Frank as he traveled around Amarillo doing media spots to promote the Koben Puckett Invitational where he will be signing autographs and meeting with the audience as well as providing protection to the riders at the event. In this episode I asked him how he got started, how he stays fit, and how he improves his skills everyday.
