My guest today is Jocelyn Rivas (@JoselintheWarrior), a #DACA recipient who holds the Guinness World Records for both the youngest PERSON and the youngest WOMAN to run 100 marathons! Picture that: That’s running 26.2 miles 100 times over!  Jocelyn came to the U.S. from El Salvador when she was 6 years old, and grew up in Los Angeles, California.  

FIRST: In this episode, she shares her miraculous birth story. She was born with a medical condition that left her with broken feet. How she defied doctors who thought she’d never walk– let alone run! 

THEN: She shares what inspired her to start running, and why she decided to break two world records. When she’s not running, Jocelyn works in tech and we discuss how she navigates working in such a male-dominated industry. And she shares her tips to go after your dream no matter who crazy or unreasonable it may be. 

AND FINALLY:  We chat about why running forced her to go vegan and why she’s not done yet with pushing the limits of her running– and her advice if you’re hoping to run your first race this year!
