Mike Lee is an incredibly talented photographer and videographer. In fact, that's how I found him - through his work with Beyond Monumental through his company, Mike Lee Productions.

During this episode, sponsored by Previnex and BITCHSTIX, we talk about: his journey from starting his production company during the pandemic to running marathons around the world. Mike shares his experiences of training and running in major races like the Tokyo Marathon, his preparation for the Sydney Marathon, and the challenges he has faced including injuries. Additionally, he delves into his passion project 'The Blend,' which highlights local coffee shops through film photography. The episode is packed with discussions on community, overcoming obstacles, and Mike's dream of filming the 2028 Olympics in LA.
