We caught up with the Fleet Feet Princeton marathon training group as they prepare for their big races in April. Our first interview was with Ben Saunders, an IT specialist at Princeton University, who says running makes him feel more comfortable being uncomfortable. Then we interviewed Nick Woodbury, a dad of three and a podcast producer at Hidden Brain. Nick finds that running gives him more energy, which he definitely needs tiring out his three boys. In this episode, Matt also talks about this week's natural high, surfing at Waco Surf in Texas, one of the largest man-made waves in the United States.

In this episode, Matt sits down with singer-songwriter Harry Singer for a unique before-and-after conversation about the natural high of singing. Harry was performing at Small World Coffee in Princeton, NJ on Valentine's Day. The interview captured Harry's process of rehearsal that allows him to be more "in the moment" during the show and what he thinks about distractions while performing. The episode also covers Matt's recent speaking gigs, his trip to Florida to watch his son play baseball and his hatred of tree grinders on a warm day.

In this episode, Matt visits one of the top high school wrestling programs in the country at Wyoming Seminary in Kingston, Pennsylvania. He sits down with team captains Brian Chamberlin and Lucas Parietti to talk about the natural high that comes from intense training, competition, and being part of an elite program.

Matt even tries to capture the sound of practice—but the action is a little too much for the microphones to handle. Fortunately, he does manage to record part of Coach Weber’s powerful pre-workout speech, giving listeners a glimpse into the mindset that fuels the team.

Matt also shares stories from recent visits to local schools, a cold-water surfing trip to the Jersey Shore, the misery and delight of poison ivy and some thoughtful feedback from a listener.

From wrestling mats to ocean waves, this episode explores the many ways people find a better high through challenge, discipline, and connection. Enjoy! To jump directly to the interview, go to 8:37.
