Sure Travis Macy wrote the book "The Ultra Mindset", but he is so much more! I loved the energy Travis brought to the conversation. His exuberance can be found in whatever he does. His list of athletic accomplishments range across a variety of sports and I could not begin to do him justice in listing those here. His love for his family and care for his father really struck a chord with me. I strive to be what Travis embodies, and that is a loving father, son, athlete, and everything else he does with the conviction and passion that is driven by his love for life and others! Thank you for this conversation Travis! It meant more to me than I can express!

Robyn is an amazing person. You can hear the genuine affection for life in her voice. Her story about her previous 100-mile attempts makes this finish at the Rocky Raccoon 100-miler even better! Have a listen...

We all know we need more diversity and inclusion in our sport, but with conversation & action we'll not gain much ground. John Lacroix is trying to implore us to action. John is a race director for the Human Potential Race Series in Colorado, Arkansas, & Texas. We go in depth as to why races MUST be inclusive to ALL genders and races. I hope this sparks others to start conversations with other race directors!

In this episode I lay out my overall training plan for Bigfoot 200. Each Phase of training, it's purpose, and how I intend to implement it. I talk about my reasons for doing Bigfoot and the challenges I foresee as I train for this event. I hope you can take away some ideas for your own training, and as always, if you have questions, don't hesitate to reach out.
