Alright, let's get into today's interview. It was a couple of weeks ago after our interview with Brian Burk when we talked about the power of inspiration. Brian, as you know, is author or "Running to Leadville" and his story of the dream participating in the Leadville 100 Trail Run and the epic ultra-marathons along the way. Brian's writing is inspiring and we got on the conversation of other sources of inspiration for ultra-endurance events.
Khem brought up the idea to get Mike Dion on the show. Khem, do you want to give a little background before we introduce our guest? Khem intro/background on Mike.
- After watching this movie, I'm trying to decide if I'm more motivated to do my bucket list BC to Baja or not.
- It's good to see what can go wrong and would do exactly what Mike said was "we pack our fears" on events like this.
- Like the idea of doing a mini version. I'd be willing to do a 2-3 day thing. Maybe with a couple of friends.
