    EP 28: Adam Kimble - The Race You May Not Want, It's the Race You Need
    May 26 2021

    After getting the chance to race against Adam in a road half marathon at Tahoe in 2017, we stayed in contact over the years.  Over  those years, seeing him go after amazing goals like the FKT around the Tahoe Rim Trail or racing in South Africa recently, he's pushed through many barriers.  We talk about his introduction to running, his run across the United States, and how he connects with people whether it is running related or not.  Along with his running background, he also was a winner on the amateur survivalist TV show The Wheel.  His stories are ones not to miss.

    EP 27: Nick Vos- Being Persistent with a Love for Life
    May 10 2021

    Nick Vos wasn't always the rugged outdoorman that he is now. In fact during his childhood years, he was diagnosed with Overactive ADHD.  Working through that in school with support, he eventually made his way to Cal State San Marcos before dropping out to pursue a career in music.  We discuss the lessons he's learned from his music playing days, working on cars from the San Diego Chargers, and relationships.  From the various lessons, he's also started a lifestyle brand called Atropos that we dive into its meaning and connecting with the community and also how that is connected to his budding Ultra Running Career.

    EP 26: Jeff Stoner- The Man Behind ERS
    May 6 2021
    Jeff Stoner didn't imagine he would end up as a race director and event organizer for endurance sports.  From his background playing basketball and football in the Midwest, his life has taken many twists and turns. We explore his time in Colorado which set him off into the Endurance World and being behind the scenes putting on events and races.  After a job in Northern California let him go, he fulfilled a childhood dream of moving to San Diego.  Since arriving in San Diego, Jeff has built the race company Endurance Race Series to have 2 separate race series in Colorado and San Diego with distances ranging from 5K to Half Marathon.  This episode goes behind the scenes of what is involved with event/race organization and this will give a better understanding of what it takes. We also discuss podcasting and some insights from that avenue.
