He's inspired my son, who is now also becoming an ultra endurance athlete.

And I'm glad that you guys had a few minutes to meet.

But Andy, welcome to the Ultimate Human Podcast.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's a, it's a real pleasure.

You know, I, I, I have to admit, you know, I wasn't someone that was following your journey and, and the staff came to me one day, you know, my podcast team and, you know, cause I'm always impressed by,

ordinary people that do extraordinary things.

And I'm even more impressed by people that do extraordinary things over a prolonged period of time.

Like I, you know, I remember that old show, the one hit wonders, you know, like everybody can make a hit once, you know, but one time and, and,

What I remember was I'd heard David Goggins talk about this Moab race, you know, the Moab 240.

Yes.

So many times about how his feet fractured and he taped them together.

And I was watching him on podcast.

Gosh, it's so brutal.

I've run one marathon in my life.

And they talked to me about your story, how you had, you know, tried to do this race, you know, twice and couldn't finish it.

And you had finally completed it.

And they started showing me some of the videos of your journey along the way and how authentic and just visceral and very, very transparent and real you were.

And I was like, dude, this guy is a special human being.
