  • 52 - (video) Equally Yoked and Mildly Unhinged
    Feb 2 2026

    * video - Not for Apple or Spotify listening

    What happens when two ultra runners try to move, renovate a house, run a business, and still show up for each other without completely losing it? You get this episode.

    This week we get honest about what it really takes to build a life together—on and off the trails. We talk about being equally yoked (and what that actually means in real life), the myth of "doing it all," and how saying yes to the wrong job at 15 could’ve changed everything. There’s some rage, some gratitude, some laughter, and a wood chipper wish list.

    Also: dogs off leash, coyotes in public parks, hydrogen water that may or may not be science, and a strong case for Fresca as a lifestyle.

    If you've ever felt overwhelmed, under appreciated, or just plain tired—this one's for you. It’s raw, real, and full of dirt under the fingernails. Hit play. Let’s go.

  • 51- Hope, Firewood, and the Ice Storm That Got Us
    Jan 27 2026

    This week, things got... real. Like, power-outage-tree-across-the-road-hope-is-flickering real. We talk through how we navigated the unexpected ice storm that knocked out power across Nashville, how it exposed just how prepared (or not) we really were, and why mindset matters way more than how many AA batteries you can cram in a buggy at Home Depot.

    From scrambling for firewood and testing a fireplace for the first time in five years, to watching neighbors bail out in the middle of the night, this was a crash course in staying calm, adjusting plans, and not letting panic drive the car (literally).

    We get into how ultra running teaches us to assess, adapt, and survive—not just on the trail, but when life throws ice at your power lines. We talk about what happens when the plan falls apart, why preparedness isn’t selfish, and how having someone to lean on makes the difference. Also, one of us might have wandered into the street to investigate a suspicious light because, obviously, that’s who we are.

    Come for the chaos, stay for the reflection. And maybe check your emergency kit, y’all. The storms are coming—are you ready?
