The Athletes' Marathon Podcast
Matthew Choi
The Athletes' Marathon podcast focuses on the journey that former Athletes, Entrepreneurs, Personal Trainers, and Coaches have gone through as they transition into their careers from their previous sport. Many former athletes understand the feeling of being "lost" or "confused" about what they want to pursue after they hang up their cleats. We discuss the journey through the ups and downs for each guest and how they used their experience, mindset, and work ethic to get them where they are today.
The Journey of Completing a 100 Mile Ultramarathon with Anthony Smith
In this episode, I interview former Army Ranger Anthony Smith, who just completed his first 100 mile ultra marathon.

If you're interested in running or ultra running this episode is perfect for you. We talk about nutrition plans, drop bags, aid stations, supplements, first aid items, and various other topics.

More than an Athlete with Josh Pleasant

After being an athlete for many years, Coach Plez has leveraged the soft skills he learned through sports to help him succeed in his various business ventures. This guest is a great leader and example for many young student athletes in his community and worldwide.

Happiness is Success with Matt Choi Interviewed by Kaipo Sotelo
In this episode, I am interviewed as a guest on my friend Kaipo’s podcast called Method Supply. It’s always fun catching up with old friends and to do it in an interview format is even better. We had a great conversation talking about my journey from being a young kid living in Las Vegas to being a collegiate student athlete, starting a career in the fitness industry, and the importance of having a growth mindset in everything you do. If you don’t know much about me, this would be a great introduction to a story that’s still being written. Instagram: @kaiposotelo @methodsupplyco
