    Joe Goettl: Gravel Racing, YouTube Growth, and the Power of Progress Over Perfection

    In this episode, I interview Joe Goettl. Joe started his endurance career as a runner in college over 10 years ago and, since then, has been racing road bikes, gravel bikes, and mountain bikes. He's battled chronic pain since he was 20 and has gone through an impressive journey working through his pain and finding success on the bike. Joe continually repeated, "Don't let good be the enemy of perfect." This phrase shows his resilience and work that has helped him to become the person he is. Give this episode a listen to dive into what it takes to race gravel at the top.

    "The Body Is Meant to Be on a Schedule" with Danny Van Wagoner

    The Uphill Goat is back! I had this conversation with Danny back in January, and I'm super excited for all of you to be able to enjoy it now. Danny is a professional marathon mountain bike racer, racing the UCI marathon World Cup circuit in Europe along with other big one-day races. In this episode, we dive into his journey of racing from a teenager at the National Championships with Keegan Swenson to his current goals and hopes as he balances being a husband, and father, working full time, and racing professionally. Danny is super impressive on the bike and an even more impressive person. I loved chatting with him and learned a lot about discipline, grit, and following your dreams from our conversation. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

    Going For Top 10 on the White Rim

    A few weeks ago a friend told me the Spry gang was going to ride the White Rim and he wanted to do it as fast as he could. It sounded intriguing and so I went with him. My stretch goal was 6 hours, but I would be stoked to be anywhere under sub 6:30. Top 10 is 6:26, so that was something I thought could potentially be in the cards if everything went perfectly.
