  2. Episode 20 - The Story Of A Fat Boy - Part I

    Episode 20 - The Story Of A Fat Boy - Part I

    I’ve got a story to tell you, but it spans 53 years, so it will take a while to tell and a single episode will not get it done. I’m going to tell you a little of my history, but the story will not be in one episode and it will likely feel a little disjointed as I jump around. Also, I’m not going to try and do this in consecutive episodes, that would bore even me and it’s my story! Just stay on the lookout and it will eventually get told. Lastly, this is not a one and done kind of tale. It started 53 years ago and it’s not over yet. So, this is an ongoing narrative.

    Conversation With Josiah Puyear

    On Episode 19 I sat down with Josiah Puyear and we talked about his recent adventure in Colorado. We talked about his new job and his dream chasing. We ended the conversation with some uncomfortable stuff that the females in our house feel the need to talk about around us. It’s good times.

    Episode 18 - What Are You Willing To Do

    In this episode I simply want to tell you what's been on my mind for the last few weeks. These are some thoughts that have been rumbling around in my human brain and I want to get them out in the open. It's a short episode, but it's to the point. My sponsor today is, "Clee's Gluten-Free Treats." You can find "Clee's Gluten-Free Treats" on Instagram. I normally ask for extra gluten on all of my food, but these cookies have made me reconsider my gluten life-choices. Currently you can purchase Chocolate Chip cookies and Snickerdoodles. Give'em a try, you will not be disappointed.

  6. Episode 16 - Interview with Shannon Toombs

    Episode 16 - Interview with Shannon Toombs

    I sat down a few weeks ago and interviewed a family friend to find out what she’s been up to for the last five years. I will tell you that if you find yourself approaching middle-age and you’ve not got what you want to get yet and your feeling like – “It’s too late, my best years have passed me by,” or you feel like you don’t have enough time left to accomplish your goals, to get your Glory, because you’re now in the 2nd half and your mid-way through the 3rd quarter, or you think to yourself that what you want is really for those that are just coming out of high school or college and I don’t have the time nor the energy to make it happen anymore – this episode is for you, bro! or female bro. My guest is now 48 years old and just became a nurse. She’s a wife and the mother of four. She homeschooled her kids until they started high school and there came a day approximately five years ago at the age of around, uh, let’s call it 43, that she decided that there was more that she wanted to do, and she did it! I’ll let her tell her story, but if you’ve let some time get away from you and you’re questioning whether you’ve still got gas in your tank this is the interview for you. Please welcome my friend, Shannon Toombs.

  7. Episode 15 - What Is Suffering Redux

    ١٦‏/٠٩‏/٢٠١٩

    Episode 15 - What Is Suffering Redux

    Over the last few weeks I’ve had several good friends call or email me asking me to explain what I mean when I use the terms “Suffer First” and “Glory Second.” I asked them if they’ve gone back and listened to the first three episodes of the show and each said they had not. So, being the good friend that I am I explained on the phone or by email what I mean by these two phrases. It’s really no problem at all for me to explain it over and over again. Afterall, I love this subject and I want as many people as I can get to better understand what I mean and hopefully share my passion for the subject. But, as I look at the analytics of the show and how many people are listening all over this country and in other countries as well, I realize that they too may not have listened to the first episodes and therefore may not understand what I mean when I say, “Suffer First / Glory Second.” For this reason, I’m re-posting episodes 2 and 3. I hope that folks will take a few minutes to listen to these episodes, so that we can be on the same page and might better understand each other when these terms come up. And they will come up over and over again. This is exactly what this show is about – Suffering and Glory. As I’ve told you before, I’m a “one trick pony, baby.” Suffering and Glory is all I have to offer, so I need you to understand what I mean when I say it. With that said, please enjoy “What Is Suffering Redux.”

  8. Episode 14 - Interview with Rob Clarke

    ٠٢‏/٠٩‏/٢٠١٩

    Episode 14 - Interview with Rob Clarke

    On episode 14 of the Suffer First Podcast I interview, Rob Clarke. Rob is a Navy veteran, a marathoner, ultramarathoner, and an Ironman. I’ve known Rob for roughly 20 years, give or take a year or two. He and I met and became friends while working at, InTech, an I.T. recruiting firm and subsidiary of, Merritt Hawkins, a physician recruiting firm in Dallas, TX. We worked together there for a few years then left and went in our own directions. We stayed in the recruiting world and even worked together again at a few different companies. Rob is 44 years old, grew up in Arlington, TX and married his high school sweetheart, Charisma (who is an ultrarunner and marathoner while being a mother and L&D nurse!). They have 2 boys Gabe (14) and Liam (8). After high school Rob joined the Navy- he was interested in the Navy SEALs, but he says he was definitely not SEALs material back then - a big part of that was his fear of swimming and open water. He barely passed the Navy swim test and likened his swimming back then to a controlled drowning. Fast forward many years later- those same fears would haunt him every summer. Finally determined - he met another Ironman who inspired him to sign up for his first triathlon…. just 70 days later…. while he still could not swim and did not even own a bike! Rob’s new Ironman friend suggested that, “not being able to swim and not owning a bike were just minor details. You need to take 2 steps to prepare for becoming a triathlete - Step 1- sign up, Step 2 – work on those minor details!” He persevered and went on to finish that triathlon. Just a year later he completed a half ironman and a year after that he completed a full Ironman! For the uninitiated an Ironman is a 2.4-mile swim, 112 miles on the bike, and a 26.2-mile run. This was a dream come true! He had watched the show as a kid and it took a ton of suffering and dedication to make it happen- all while having a full-time job, being a supportive husband and father. Please welcome Rob Clarke to the Suffer First podcast.
