In 2017, Carson was heli-evacuated off the slopes of Jackson Hole, WY. While relearning how to talk and function, he had to find his WHY. While running is less consequential, we relate it back to the importance of finding our 'why' in whatever we choose to pursue. We recorded just before I left for the Western States 100, and we also chat about going back with the pressure of being a past champion, falling in love with the process, high school bullying, and concussion recovery. Lots packed into this one! It’s always hard to ask for things, but sometimes it’s what I have to do! If you like what we’re doing here, please like, subscribe, comment, and hit that 5-star button.

Oops! It's been a while. Between Madeira's recovery, the 40+ hours it took to get home from Madeira Island, working the Magoon ranch on the Big Island, and traveling to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for Satisfy, we just haven't had time to record a podcast. Never fear; we are back! In this episode, we deep dive into the six days I spent with the Satisfy team, Carson's experience in Jackson Hole and his emergency evac of the mountain, our workouts of the week, an upcoming Indonesia surf trip, and hacking the Instagram algorithm. We also spend a moment giving thanks to my late athlete and friend, Danny Hartman, who died tragically and suddenly a few months ago. I wanted to give his family and community time to grieve, and I wasn't sure if I should say anything. But letting his death, and more importantly, his life, go unacknowledged has felt like hiding. So here's to Danny, a man whose impact reached far beyond his immediate circle and an athlete I was so lucky to get to know. He is missed by me, the Beast Coast running community, and everyone fortunate enough to interact with him along the way. Learn more about Danny in Vermont 100's Remembrance or read his obituary here.

2025 is here, and we are here for it! On this episode of BeRad the Podcast, we lament our near-bursting septic tank, reveal my 2025 racing schedule, and discuss our goals for this new year.2024 was a toughy, and a lot of that was due to the pressure my previous sponsor put on me while coming back from injury. Before every race, they would let me know that my contract was at risk, or I would be pressured into racing when I didn't feel ready. In this episode, we talk about how my new partnership with SATISFY and the freedom I feel in this new chapter of professional running.If you liked this episode, show us by interacting with the podcast.
