This episode is all about the biggest lesson I learned from running 100 miles — and it’s not about running.

It’s about people.

This race would’ve been completely different if I did it alone. Training with Caleb every day for seven months, having my mom, my sister, Jeremy, and our families there to support us — that’s what made this experience what it was.

At mile 50, I hit my wall. I didn’t want to go any further. And that’s when Jeremy jumped in and ran 12 miles with me. Those miles changed everything. That moment reminded me why having the right people around you matters so much.

In this episode, I reflect on my experience at Running Man just a week ago. This was my third time going, and every single time I walk away with the same reminder: proximity is power.

I share why events like this are so powerful for me and how they’ve shown me the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people. For example, when I tell most people I’m running a 100-mile race, they think it’s insane. But at Running Man, it’s normal—the standard. Instead of calling me crazy, people gave me advice on how to do it better.

That’s the power of proximity. Mentors make it real.

Right now, I feel like I have so much untapped potential inside me. I don’t have complete clarity on my life’s exact path yet—but I know my job isn’t to have it all figured out. My job is to keep moving in the direction of the person I want to become, to take action, and to learn from mentors who are already doing it at a high level.

In this episode, I’m sitting above the Running Man festival, my third year in a row being here. Every single time I come, it changes my life.

I talk about why these events mean so much to me, the power of the friendships and relationships I’ve built here, and how being around the right energy has completely shifted my perspective.

In this episode, I open up about the dilemma I’ve been wrestling with: What path should I fully commit to right now? I talk through the questions I’ve been asking myself—Who am I trying to become? What mission am I really here to pursue?

This is a raw, honest conversation about seeking clarity, choosing direction, and trusting the process while still figuring it out. If you’ve ever felt pulled between different paths or questioned what your life’s mission truly is, this episode will resonate with you.

This week, I reflect on my summer as it comes to an end. I set a huge sales goal—and I didn’t even come close. But instead of seeing it as a failure, I share why I believe it was still a success.

I talk about how I’m processing the gap between expectation and reality, and why I don’t owe my past self an apology or need to feel sorry for myself. What I do owe is my future self a chance. There’s too much at stake to sit in self-pity.

In this episode, I break down why being consistently good is more powerful than being occasionally great, why I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be (but not supposed to stay here), and how I’m going to reach the next level.

In this episode, I share one of my favorite parts about the work I do: the people I get to meet. Every day I cross paths with people at different stages of life, and those conversations often teach me lessons I’ll carry forever. Recently, an older couple shared something simple but powerful with me—“life is worth enjoying.”

That advice stuck with me, and in this episode I talk about what it means in my own journey. I reflect on where I’m at right now, the season I’m in, and how I’m learning to slow down, take it in, and truly enjoy the ride.

This week, I had a conversation that hit deep—someone asked me, “How do I know if I’m in the right spot in life?”

They were constantly looking for other people’s approval to feel like they were on the right path. I’ve been there, but I’ve learned to have blind faith in my mission—without needing anyone else to tell me I’m doing the right thing.

In this episode, I share how I keep my confidence and trust the bigger picture, even when what I’m doing now isn’t my ultimate goal. We talk about why you can only connect the dots looking back, and why the only way to get there is to finish the dot you’re on right now.

If you’ve ever questioned where you are or needed encouragement to keep going, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I talk about the power of pushing through—resting at the end, not in the middle.

Life has been non-stop lately, with little sleep and barely any downtime. But instead of feeling drained, I’ve been more energized and alive than ever. I share why I’ve been loving the grind, what’s fueling me to keep going, and how you can tap into that same drive when life gets crazy.
