    Ep. 3 | Take It From Sarah Uhl

    Sarah Uhl creates beautiful art inspired by nature. 10 years ago she was on the path to becoming a professional cyclist, winning a Jr. World title. From age 13 to 23, she spent most of her time racing. There were even whispers of competing at the Olympics. But Sarah, an artist at heart, wasn’t fulfilled by the ultra-competitive, high stress demands that cycling required. She wanted to expand her life to include all of her passions and started creating art to capture the moments she found in nature. She’s now making a full-time living as a watercolor painter and illustrator while also bringing awareness to environmental issues. In this episode, Phil, the farmer you met in episode two, interviews Sarah on a vista overlooking a Colorado mountain range while they discuss Sarah’s transition from cyclist to full-time artist. Phil looks through Sarah’s art and they talk about her eternal optimism and how she brings that energy to the art she creates.   Connect with Sarah Website Instagram

    Ep. 1 | Take It From Brendan Leonard

    Brendan Leonard hates running. Which is why it was surprising when he signed up for a 100-mile race with his best friend. Not only did he figure out how to run 100 miles, he made a documentary film about it. When Brendan isn’t running he’s a writer, illustrator, adventurer and a believer in living a life outdoors. He encourages people to spend more time doing things they love, going to places that make them feel small and remembering to laugh at themselves. In the premiere episode of REI’s podcast, Take It From Me, Brendan is interviewed by host Nick Mott while they run a Colorado trail together. Brendan and Nick talk about what convinced Brendan to sign up for a 100-mile race even though running is low on his list of passions. Brendan outlines what it takes to complete an ultramarathon, and what people can do to prepare (hint: eat a lot). If you want to learn more about Brendan and his love/hate relationship with running, watch his new documentary about running 100 miles with his best friend.
