  • Summary

  • In this episode, Sharon sits down with Dr. Shanté Cofield, a business coach helping movement and health professionals succeed in the online space. The two connect to discuss the story behind the little-known 1925 Serum Run, which took place in the brutal Alaskan wilderness. During a health crisis, town doctor Curtis Welch was faced with diagnosing and treating an unknown illness, all before it infected the whole town of 1,400 people. Left with limited resources and a short deadline, the Alaskan people sprang into action to set up a sled dog relay to deliver the medicine. Sharon takes Shanté through the twists of the story, providing wit and history at every turn.

Togo/Balto

This was such a great moment in history. People going out of their way to help others. True sacrifice.

Knew the story but not the true story

Watched the movie Balto growing up but had no idea how many other teams were involved and how another team had done most of the journey. Enjoyed listening!

Don’t waste your time

The worst thing I ever tried on Audible… I listened to 2 badly told stories and 15-20 commercials
