We've all seen those people, right? You know the ones running outside in the worst winter weather imaginable while you sip your coffee and stare out your window in disbelief from under a heated blanket? Or the ones sprinting at the front of the marathon pack at mile 23 while you gnosh on a soft pretzel. Well guess what, that "person" just might have been our guest, Alex Lorton! Join us as he shares why he pursues this particular passion, when it all started, and why he continues to push himself to new limits. (While also taking a few jabs at Tim’s expense in the process.)

At some point in our lives, we've all gazed up at the night sky. Yet, few of us have actually taken the time to equip ourselves with the tools and resources to truly understand the vast universe that surrounds us. On top of his role as a family man and his professional career, Isaac Osores has chased his passion for astronomy by becoming a NASA Ambassador. In doing so his efforts have uplifted his local community through the creation of an Astronomy Club in his hometown.
