13: GUEST: True Power Couple Shan and Joshuaine (Josh) Riggs

The Everyday Awesome Project

When a shared love of epic adventure brings together two beautiful humans, it ignites a passion miles beyond the everyday romance! Meet this true 'Power Couple' Josh @joshuaine.grant and Shan @shanriggs2100 . Their ultra endurance hearts really beat in unison, not just for each other but for the extreme endurance challenges that the seek, plan and conquer as a team. Together they have accomplished outstanding feats like running (Shan) and cycling (Josh) the 3,000 mile East Coast Greenway from Florida to Maine, the 360 mile Erie Canalway as a warm up and the 1,930 mile Pacific Coast Bicycle Route.
Newlyweds, Joshuaine (Josh) is a professional Scientist and Mom by day. Shan is a Marketing & Brand Sponsorship professional who has run across 26 states as well as cross the entire United States of America on foot 3,255 miles before they found each other online. Both are radically humble, yet highly driven, EVERYDAY AWESOME humans and together they are truly unstoppable. In their 'Power Couple' union they have birthed the www.extremelyoutside.com effort where they seek to raise awareness and funds for non-profits like Foodshare and the East Coast Greenway Alliance.
In our episode together we peel back the layers of this unique couple's journey, from detailing how a quirky first date (Shan ran to her town 25 miles one way) blossomed into a bond that has become unbreakable, no matter how tough things get. Join us as we explore the depths of their ultra partnership and glean wisdom from how they use this shared love of adventure to fuel and build their extraordinary life as a team. Their humorous stories are more than just a chronicle of an adventurous couple; they provide a fresh lens through which we can view our own challenges and the importance of creating a life with a partner who truly supports your personal and mutual dreams.
Josh and Shan really touched our hearts and elevated our badass meter to new heights as a real life 'Power Couple.' They have mastered the art of human physical adaptability, mental resilience, and fun loving spontaneity for the giant world around them. They are inspirational examples for us all on how to be better partners and teammates to those humans we love in order to bring out the best in all of us. After all, every day is a new chance to set a personal awesome record in this ultramarathon called life.
