Joel Cervantes is one of the toughest people we have ever talked to. He works nightshift as a nurse for special needs kids, cross trains like a madman, ran his first 100 miles in his neighborhood to "prepare" for a 100 miler, and just tackled the MOAB 240 in October. On top of it all, he is an amazing, positive guy. Hit him up on IG at @hownowbrownjoel and send him some love.

Patrick Dunlap hit bottom in 2014, weighing in at 350 pounds. But following weight loss surgery in 2014, Patrick leaned into his disciplines, dropped 195 pounds, and soon found peace on his daily runs. Before long, he stumbled into the world of ultra running and used his "Do More" mentality to set his sights on conquering the 100 mile distance. We so enjoyed chatting with him about his successes and struggles, his journey with mindfulness, and even a big crash and burn during his first Pine Creek Challenge. Tune in and connect with Patrick as he prepares to take on the Pine Creek 50 miler on Sep 11, 2021. Enjoy the episode.
