On this week’s episode of the podcast, I have the great privilege of speaking with Makenzie Steele. Makenzie is an accomplished NCAA DI runner who competes for the University of Clemson. Makenzie got a late start in the sport of running, but once she discovered it she never looked back. Makenzie also created the highly successful “goodfoodgoodrun” account. There she has amassed thousands of followers and millions of views. She uses this platform to advocate for sports nutrition and “making eating healthy and fun so you don’t have to”.

In this episode, Makenzie and I do a deep-dive into her running career and her future goals. We also talk about her Instagram account and why she started it and the ways in which she’s grown as a person since its creation. Lastly, we answer your unique listener questions!

Over the past years of podcasting, there are clear attributes that I hope every guest I have on has. Some of these are that they are inspirational, well-thought-out, enthusiastic, joyful, lighthearted, and full of wisdom. Emily Cole checked every one of those boxes because of that, this is one of (if not the) favorite podcast I’ve ever recorded! Behind the 88k followers on Instagram and 7.8 million likes on TikTok is a genuinely amazing human being.

The 60-minute conversation that Emily and I had yesterday, is full of nuggets of wisdom. We dive into her wildly successful life from running, NIL, and her latest book, “The Players Plate”. We also touch on the importance of being well-rounded, why a strong support system is crucial in life, how her family has impacted her, life wisdom from her sister Julia Cole, and so so much more!

This episode is packed from beginning to end with inspirations and stories that will inspire you to chase after those goals in life. This conversation truly left me walking away with a smile on my face and I’m confident it will do the same for you (: I will be having another conversation with Emily later this month for a deeper dive into her book, “The Players Plate”. So stay tuned for that!

Until next time, enjoy my wonderful conversation with the wonderful and ever inspiring, Emily Cole!

Over the past year, Masai Russell has taken over not only on the track this past year, but also social media. As of writing this, she has 189k followers on Instagram. In high school, Masai was an Eight-Time National Champion and in addition to this, was a 2xNational Record holder. Currently while at the University of Kentucky she’s an 11-time All-American. She will be returning to Kentucky for one more year so watch out. 

While many see Masai on social media or lighting up the track, very few actually see who she is beyond these things. In this podcast, we seek to understand Masai and her story better. You’ll hear insights and wisdom throughout this episode from Masai. I’ve interviewed very few guests over the years as wise as Masai is.

This is a really fun, lighthearted, and inspiring conversation! I hope you all enjoy this one as much as I did. Please like, subscribe, and share with your friends if you enjoyed today’s episode! You can also give us a five-star review on Spotify and support the sponsors who support us (:

The majority of twenty-eight-year-olds are living a life of status quo. Very few branch out and make something new. At the age of twenty-eight James Perez & Wilkerson Given challenged the status quo and started Stoke Performance. A company that produces a world-class product and has a meaningful mission behind the product!

From our very first interaction, I was immediately very impressed with James & Wilkerson as people. Their hard work ethic and dedication from day 1 to this company have resulted in a world-class product that has helped so many people!

In this episode, James & Wilkerson dive into the origins of their relationship with each other. We talk about all things starting a company: the challenges that accompany it, lessons learned, fun stories, and more!

The most refreshing thing within a company is when the people are better than the product. I can certainly say that’s the case with Stoke Performance. One thing I can say confidently is that Stoke Performance is going to have a big impact in the coming years.

If you’re interested in using this product, you can get 10% of all products with code “THERUNNINGEFFECT”. In addition, we get a small commission from sales using that code so you are directly contributing to the future of this podcast!

P. S. if you buy Stoke Performance using our code and aren’t satisfied, email me or DM me and I will fully refund your purchase. That’s how confident I am that you’ll enjoy it and find value in it.

Today’s conversation is one that will greatly help you in all aspects of life. How will it do that you might ask? Well, today’s conversation is all about the mind and mental performance. These things affect our daily lives and running more than we might think they do.

Who better to have this conversation with than my good friend and mental performance counselor Shannon Thompson. Shannon currently has a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology. She works closely with many high-performing individuals every single day. Putting it best, “Her approach is science-based, philosophical, and spiritual. She draws upon empirical research and the literary arts to help each individual perform at his or her best consistently.”

This is a two-part series. The first episode is a background on Shannon and some beginning mental performance topics. The second episode is more of a deep dive into specific topics. Both conversations are equally amazing and I hope you will take the time to listen to both of them!

Shannon has been supporting the podcast from day one. She was my second ever guest so quite a bit has changed since we last spoke. It was not only great to catch up, but also to deep-deep into some subjects we’ve previously discussed before.
