S1 E7 - From Canada to Mississippi; Running Pass Racism


Listen Later

This week, we’ve got Adidas Track & Field Athlete, Brandon McBride, as our special guest! Brandon is from Canada, and came to Mississippi State University on a track scholarship where he broke numerous records, was a 2x SEC Champion, and became a 2x NCAA National Champion at 800m (1:44.50). He has since competed on the world stage, and eventually became The Canadian National Record Holder at 800m (1:43.20) !

 Brandon is a stand up guy, and on this episode he tells us about the culture shock he experienced coming to Mississippi, and details an experience with racism that changed his whole perspective on life, but also helped how he overcame that to become an even better conscious man than he could ever imagine !
