Celeste Ramage has made it a mission to let men know they can find support. It’s so personal to her because her partner Chad Evans suffered in silence and alone, and ultimately ended his own life tragically at the age of 34. She’s found strength and meaning in connecting with the running community and supporting Heads up Guys through “Chad’s Day for Change”, an urban trail race in Edmonton, Alberta (August 8, 2026). She was open and honest, and I’m so grateful to her for coming on the show and sharing as she did. It’s wonderful we have people like Celeste looking to make change even in the shadow of tragedy.

Well friends, this week’s guest is the best-looking guest I’ve ever had…

OK, now I’m done with the hosting myself jokes ;)

I’ve been having an absolute blast producing this show and the other shows here on the network. This journey has been so much fun. I’ve got to meet so many amazing people, and the fact that we continue to grow around here tells me the future is still just as exciting as it’s ever been. The philosophy hasn’t been very complicated; we highlight good people, and we say yes to opportunity. That’s kinda been the way I’ve moved through the world, and it shines through with CTR. Today was a great opportunity to let you know a bit more about myself, and I hope you won’t mind the format.

Did you know that less than 3.5% of podcasts make it to 200 episodes?! Thank you for the constant support and for making us one of those 3.5%!

James Leitner is passionate about getting people access to clean drinking water. These days he’s working hard to make a difference in Uganda and it was a treat to hear his story and learn about why he created Mission Clean Water. He’s been able to make an impact through his trail events and the sport made its way into his heart in a big way. Put all of these things together and it’s why he’s happy to chat about why he carries 45 pounds of water and how he feels it’s an easy way to represent the challenge so many women and children face.
