For this last podcast of season two, host Tom Butler has to deal with the biggest disappointment of his journey to get and stay fit.  Instead of the triumphant episode that he planned to end the season, Tom gives details on how his attempt to ride across Washington failed so quickly.  Tom acknowledges how painful it was to stop the ride after only two day. But he also seeks to find a way to not let the disappointment derail his future progress.  

To dive deeper into overcoming disappointment, Tom is joined by Zach Goulding, a psychotherapist and the person behind the "Ride This Out" podcast.  They have an open conversation about the fact that disappointment is a risk when you set out to challenge yourself.  Zach shares what his experience has taught him about helping people move forward beyond the disappointment. Listen in for an episode that explore a painful experience and also hope for the future.
