Writer, Runner, Recovering Addict Charlie Engle on the Limits of Human Suffering
Show Notes
The girls could not be thankful enough for this interview! Endurance athlete legend, Charlie Engle, joins the ladies to talk about running across the Sahara Desert, ultramarathons, surviving addiction and his newest adventures. The quote below from Charlie’s bio best expresses his nature and the essence of the interview.
I try not to take myself too seriously despite the fact that I undoubtedly take on serious challenges. I love adventure and I am fueled by testing myself to do things that push the far reaches of my ability, both physically and mentally. My chosen endeavors sometimes seem impossible and are often wrought with pain and even failure. Yet I’ve discovered that if I employ humor and laugh in the face of the grimmest of circumstances, I will survive and even enjoy almost anything.

Refreshing, honest and fun
Really love this podcast. Laurel and Ashley have a great vibe going on and it translates into a fun and freewheeling conversation that isn’t forced or scripted but genuine and interesting!
Raddest female podcasters!
I sat down with these two amazing women and shared my story about me, my family, my surfing, and my career choice. We laughed and had coffee. Laughter and coffee are supposed to go together!
Great, Light Hearted Podcast
Laurel and Ashley always bring a contagious attitude and enthusiasm to the podcast, making for a great, feel good listen. And a lot of their discussions revolve around surf, freediving, and the ocean… what’s not to love about that?!
