I love to listen to this podcast! One of the few who can articulate with humility and knowledge…and doesn’t say “like” every other word. Keep up the great work! I’m a fan!
Apple Podcasts5NabsbxhxvdsUnited Statesa year ago - Great guests - great conversation
It was fun to hear you talking about Jay Johnson on a recent podcast. Jay was instrumental in me becoming a runner. He was the start of the running boom at our high school. Jay was 2 years older than me. His junior year he won the conference championship and I won the freshman championship. Jay and I then raced against each other in triathlons before he became a mountain running phenom.
