    RFP Podcast Episode RFP Podcast Episode #287 – Ultra Dad Session #95: A Teenager’s Journey!

    Yes, I am a proud father, of two inspiring daughters. There are so many of us that can share stories of how our children have made us so fulfilled. This is one of those stories and I am going to get right out of the way and share it with you all!

You can view the live recording of today’s episode on our YouTube Channel Here! How’d we get here? The Ultra Dad’s Podcast came from an idea Cindy Shane created. Well, she planted the idea in our head after listening to the first time Bryan was on the RFP Podcast in May 2020. There have many times over the years when we speak on the phone or in person the “we should be recording this” line comes out. Well, here we are jumping in with both feet, like we tend to do, sharing with you our perspectives on life. Let’s be candid – we are not perfect, and we fail often. Our favorite term to use is “it’s not ideal” and there have been countless times we’ve uttered, “a plan is great until you are punched in the face;” – but we do laugh a lot, at ourselves and/or each other mostly 😊. All that said, there are those brief moments where things tend to fall into place and we, somehow, make it to that finish line – as ultrarunners yes, but most importantly has husbands, fathers, friends, and human beings. We wanted to share those imperfections and those incredible moments that we’ve been fortunate enough to experience together over the last 30+ years. So, sit back, grab a cold one, and hopefully this will be another time where things fall into place. Bryan & Mike

    RFP Podcast Episode #284 – Ultra Dad Session #92: “Unfinished Human Beings.”

    The title of todays episode comes from the book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck.If you are not familiar with her, she has studied the differences between the growth & fixed mindset; essentially how we can change from one to the other. This particular part of the book had talked about sustaining and practicing change, growth and improving vs. there being a “silver bullet” or that “one big thing” that makes the difference. Have some firsthand examples that were pretty funny too 😊! At least from my perspective.

    Simple intro – today’s episode inspired by: From John C. Maxwell’s Leadership Gold Ten Characteristics of a Growth Environment: Others are ahead of you. You are continually challenged.

    RFP Podcast Episode #280 – Ultra Dad Session #88: Do Scary S$%#!

    Today’s episode fell into place nicely. I’ve been needing some change. I am speaking for Robin too since this is something we’ve been talking about for a long time. Full transparency – we’ve let our nutritional commitments lack over the last several months. Yeah – we’ve done our quarterly cleanses and did well with them but as soon as they were over, and this has felt like for 18 months, we’d go back to old behaviors. We’ve known what to do but our will, and our desire, weren’t strong enough to keep us on that track. Well, when you make a commitment to do some scary shit – that tends to change behaviors……or it better 😊. Today we dig into that, and it is perfectly centered around this quote by David O. McKay below: “The greatest battles of life are fought out in the silent chambers of the soul.” The RFP Ultra Dad’s Podcast is sponsored by Time on the Trails – delivering you a customized experience out on the trails in Arizona and beyond.
