This episode of Fireside Chat is one of those conversations that reminds you why we do hard things both on the run and in life.

I sat down with Molly Hurford, founder of Strong Girl Publishing, endurance athlete, writer, podcaster, and all-around builder of community. From racing (and winning) 100-milers to running an independent publishing company, Molly lives at the intersection of grit, creativity, and persistence and she doesn’t sugarcoat any of it.

We talk about what happens when the system tells you your story doesn’t “sell,” and why Molly chose to become the gate opener instead. We dig into body image and nutrition in endurance sports, mental training strategies that actually work when things get hard, and the power of a simple “yes, and” mindset during training, racing, and entrepreneurship.

This episode is about running, yes, but it’s also about perspective. About showing up imperfectly. About building something meaningful while keeping a sense of humor and remembering why you started in the first place.

Do any of these words describe you? Endurance athlete, Entrepreneur, or Everyday human trying to become a better version of yourself while still having fun along the way, this Fireside Chat is for you.
