Jeff is a great podcast host, and Free Outside rises to the top of the ultra landscape. Sometimes a little silly, always introspective, it strikes a nice balance between the pro perspective and the perspective of those of us who are just really good at working out.

One of the world’s more benevolent Jeff’s
Such a great podcast and thank you for keeping it real. I really appreciate you discussing events and situations, calling out the bs and speaking out about some of the ridiculous things in the industry 🤩 Keep it up and don’t hold back! You are the change maker. So glad I found this🙏🏻
I appreciate the conversations and lack of having a take for the sake of having one.
