After getting the chance to race against Adam in a road half marathon at Tahoe in 2017, we stayed in contact over the years.  Over  those years, seeing him go after amazing goals like the FKT around the Tahoe Rim Trail or racing in South Africa recently, he's pushed through many barriers.  We talk about his introduction to running, his run across the United States, and how he connects with people whether it is running related or not.  Along with his running background, he also was a winner on the amateur survivalist TV show The Wheel.  His stories are ones not to miss.

Nick Vos wasn't always the rugged outdoorman that he is now. In fact during his childhood years, he was diagnosed with Overactive ADHD.  Working through that in school with support, he eventually made his way to Cal State San Marcos before dropping out to pursue a career in music.  We discuss the lessons he's learned from his music playing days, working on cars from the San Diego Chargers, and relationships.  From the various lessons, he's also started a lifestyle brand called Atropos that we dive into its meaning and connecting with the community and also how that is connected to his budding Ultra Running Career.

Running and community interaction has been a key thing for Iman Wilkerson over the years.  From her time in North Carolina, New York, Chicago and now San Diego, she's created a pattern of finding her group.  Her experiences in the different cities has allowed her to select the best things from each running culture in the respective cities and give insights on what works in the running world to build community.  Along with being a runner, we also discuss her mental approach to training and racing, how the Rundown app began, and lessons learned from being an entrepreneur.

When Roberto Corona was robbed, that was the catalyst that sent him into a 7 Year Journey of Traveling the World.  Creating the Robi Smiles Project has allowed him to collect smiles from all over the world in that time period.  As 2020 changed how the world operated, Roberto leaned into connecting even more with his family in Chile.  We look at his beginning in photography in Iquique, lessons learned from his travels so far, and The Ambassador of Light initiative.   If you or someone you know would be interested in being a guest on the show send an email to [email protected]
