I appreciate the conversations and lack of having a take for the sake of having one.
I’ve listened to a few episodes now. While I respect the accomplishments of Jeff, he is extremely opinionated that his opinion is the only opinion allowed.
Running is adventure and fun and it seems like Jeff wants the fun and adventure to be only from his scope of view. His disdain for Satisfy culture (to be fair I am not a satisfy fan… I don’t want to pay $150 for a cotton T-shirt) his disdain for running influencers, and comparing social media influencers to political leaders is very cringe ... more
Love Jeff!! Get person with amazing content name for the fan base? The freebies!?
Jeff’s authenticity and curiosity is a welcome reprieve from the countless running bro and boss babe podcasts that fail to connect with the average person. At time when the sport is blowing up, he keeps it real. No-frills conversations that focus on the people behind the sport and what makes them tick. The ultra world needs more people like Jeff.
Good job Jeff
