TCR108 | Winston Fisher: 7 Marathons on 7 Continents in 7 Days and Doing What Scares You

The Conscious Runner Podcast

Hey Conscious Runners! I’ve got another fantastic episode for you. Today, I’ve got Winston Fisher on the mic with me. I met Winston about a month ago when I interviewed him for The Conscious Runner Podcast. Over the past two years I’ve conducted dozens of interviews and have never come across someone like Winston. It is interesting because when I’m interviewing a guest, I’m not only listening to what they’re saying, I’m also thinking of the next question to ask, so I never get the full effect of the conversation until I play it back in the editing process. And when I listened to it again, I was blown away. There were so many nuggets of conscious wisdom in this episode, not only for running, but for life. Recently, Winston completed 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days. I completely enjoyed my chat with Winston and know you will too.
