EP 28: Adam Kimble - The Race You May Not Want, It's the Race You Need

After getting the chance to race against Adam in a road half marathon at Tahoe in 2017, we stayed in contact over the years. Over those years, seeing him go after amazing goals like the FKT around the Tahoe Rim Trail or racing in South Africa recently, he's pushed through many barriers. We talk about his introduction to running, his run across the United States, and how he connects with people whether it is running related or not. Along with his running background, he also was a winner on the amateur survivalist TV show The Wheel. His stories are ones not to miss.

EP 27: Nick Vos- Being Persistent with a Love for Life

Nick Vos wasn't always the rugged outdoorman that he is now. In fact during his childhood years, he was diagnosed with Overactive ADHD. Working through that in school with support, he eventually made his way to Cal State San Marcos before dropping out to pursue a career in music.

EP 26: Jeff Stoner- The Man Behind ERS

Jeff Stoner didn't imagine he would end up as a race director and event organizer for endurance sports. From his background playing basketball and football in the Midwest, his life has taken many twists and turns. We explore his time in Colorado which set him off into the Endurance World and being behind the scenes putting on events and races.
