Run from the Norm

Run from the Norm - Episode 4: Wayne Rancourt on spiritual awakenings while running high on an alpine trail in the middle of the night, and finding inspiration in the simple things.

This episode is extremely special to me and I’m absolutely overwhelmed with gratitude for the opportunity to share my conversation with not only a mentor that I hold in the highest regard, but also one of my closest friends, Wayne Rancourt. 
 
We get deep into the philosophical weeds as we always do, and I think when you listen you’ll agree.. there is no limit to the level of compassion, authenticity, and motivation to impact people in a positive way with Wayne. He is truly one of the most genuine and unique people I have ever met.
 
Whether you are a runner or not, I guarantee you will be moved by this conversation. 

Run from the Norm - Episode 3: Sid Sullivan on leading with purpose, running 75,000 lifetime miles, and living in service of others by giving back to the community.

Raised just outside of Eugene, Oregon, otherwise known as Track Town, USA, Sid went from a high school JV runner to a walk on at the University of Oregon where he found his speed and ultimately a new perspective on what it means to “win” while working under legendary coach and Tokyo Olympic bronze medalist, Bill Dellinger. 🇺🇸
He took this philosophy from the track and transitioned it into a very successful professional career that ultimately led to an early retirement, giving Sid and his wife the fortunate opportunity to continue a life of service through the multiple philanthropic efforts they partner with, all while Sid continued to accumulate over 75,000 lifetime running miles!! 🏃‍♂️ 😮
Please enjoy this conversation with my good friend and mentor, Sid Sullivan.

Run from the Norm - Episode 1: Graham MacKenzie on a love of time in the outdoors, embracing authenticity, and finding health and longevity through a ketogenic lifestyle.

For the very FIRST episode of the Run from the Norm podcast I was fortunate enough to be joined by my good friend, successful real estate agent, accomplished ultra-runner, and all around outdoor enthusiast, Graham MacKenzie.
In this episode we talk about why Graham first found his way to running the trails, embracing a love of nature and the outdoors, his thoughts on health and longevity, and the importance of doing hard things as a gateway to continued growth and development.
