💾KAYAK RESCUE: I’ve recently shot a TV series for Red Bull where I interview world class athletes in their backyards. While shooting some introductory shots from a friendly white-water river in France, I end up getting rescued by the athlete (Nouria Newman) I was there to interview. Long story short, it all went swimmingly until I missed my roll and took a swim in a very cold river. Nouria does a brilliant job of mopping up. It’s a series of bad decisions followed by a seri

💾Julie Anding, like me, is a cutoff chaser. I met Julie at Mammoth Trailfest where we both got cutoff at the summit of Mammoth mountain. It turns out that was not her first (or even second) time doing that. We get the full details on Julie’s history of running, trail running and chasing cutoffs. We also learn how Julie is using her yoga business and positive mindset to make a difference and help heal those among us who are vulnerable and hurting. Not only that, Julie is doing all

💾Alex met his wife Amanda when they were both in college.  They got married, and after years of trying, they finally had a child.  Tragically, while their child was still a toddler, Amanda was diagnosed with cancer and lost her battle to that relentless disease 16 months later.  In this powerful and emotional conversation, Alex walks us down the path of that pain and loss, but also through the transformational journey of change and hope that happens afterwards.  Wit

💾SUPERHUMAN: A company that makes exoskeletons reached out and asked if I’d be interested in wearing their devices on an outdoor mission. Sure, I said, as long as I can do my own kind of mission in my own kind of way. So, I decided to stock a remote mountain hut with beans, given I like beans, and I like mountain huts- and have used them in the past as refuge. To get there I decided to go down, then up, one of the longest spurs in Australia- the perfect terrain to test out a set

💾This is Neeraj's story... He was born in India and grew up with the typical norms and traditions of his community, spending a few of his key formative years nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, in the idyllic village of Nainital. In 1994, he had the opportunity to visit the US through an exchange program, and it was quite the culture shock. He ultimately stayed though. Settling in Louisville, eventually getting married and landing in a career as a Physical Therapist. And while n

💾THE FRENCH COMMUTE: I’ve been self-employed for five years since losing my university job. When Red Bull reached out and asked if I wanted to host a TV show interviewing athletes in far flung corners of the world I said ‘No worries…and I tell you what, I’ll commute to each shoot in my own Beauish way.’ So here I am, doing that very thing. First up, I rented a town bike from Geneva train station and rode to the middle of the French Alps where I interviewe

💾IN A TIME BEFORE FIREBALL...around mile 20, somewhere along highway 61 just north of Duluth, MN, Dr. Tonya hit a low in her first marathon, when suddenly four hands from the Reef Bar reach out with some much needed Jack Daniels. It was one of several inspirational moments that helped her complete her first of ten straight Grandma's marathons. Or there was the time when she moves to a new town and becomes a tour guide on her first day of living there! Or her lifelong love of horses and

💾NO SURRENDER: I was invited to run across Timor Leste, which is one of Australia’s closest neighbours- to our North. It’s a small and slender country that’s been at war, on and off, for 500 years. With ten other runners from all over the world, and with a mix of local and Aussie guides, we ran 100km over 5000m of dusty, steep, coffee-laden country. We dossed down each night in guest houses or tents, ate whatever the locals had on offer and settled into life on the t

💾Wes Cornett was born in Hawkins, Indiana...well, maybe not Hawkins, but basically though. While still just a kid, a bad breakup and a love of cheap tacos lead him to the military. After a 20 year career that included deployments in Bosnia and Afghanistan, his military career left a wake of hard realities...the loss of his best friend, struggles with PTSD, anxiety, depression, sobriety and his mental health. Eventually though, he found his footing and a love for trail running and hikin
