Have you ever stumbled upon an unplanned adventure that turned out to be one of the best days of your life? That's what happened to me as I set out for a 10K training session and ended up having a blast at a golf course with a chance meeting with Lance Armstrong. This episode isn't just about those serendipitous life moments though; it's a heart-to-heart on the juggling act of fitness and fatherhood, and a cheeky peek into 'guy stuff' like participation trophies and the peculiar stress of shorter races versus marathons.
Life throws us curveballs, and how we swing can lead to new passions and challenges. Join me as I recount the thrill of chasing a quirky world record, the pivot from ministry to event planning with Go Wheels Up Texas, and the rollercoaster journey of entrepreneurship with Camp Gladiator. We'll explore the community bonds formed through shared experiences and the personal victories that come from competitive fitness. It's a candid look at how the phases of our lives shape our professional and personal narratives, and the importance of embracing the wild ride.
To wrap things up, a shared chuckle is in order as we discuss our fitness hobbies that, let's just say, have become somewhat of an acquired taste at home. I'll regale you with stories of marathon pursuits that have lost their luster with my wife and bodybuilding escapades still championed by my son. Together, we'll explore the amusing family dynamics behind our passions, all while finding camaraderie in our commitment to the pursuits that light our fires, regardless of the eyebrow raises we might receive from our loved ones. Strap in for an episode filled with laughter, relatable tales, and a genuine celebration of the unique blend of fitness, fatherhood, and the unabashed pursuit of our interests.
