The goal is to have 100 conversations with 100 different people... People I know, people I don't know, people I admire and people I disdain.
100 episodes to try to find the common threads that tie us all together despite our differences (as irreconcilable as they may be), despite our challenges (an individual as they may appear) and despite our opinions (as decisive as they've become ).
Episode #1 is with my good friend Charles Wallace.
In this conversation, we speak about how Charles abandoned a life typical for many millions of men: 47, out of shape, fat, and dying. In addition to men's mental health, mid-life crisis, do-or-die accountability, and finally Charles's foray into endurance training.
Here is a clip of our conversation. Find it everywhere that podcasts are hosted. Please listen and leave a review on your favorite platform.

#Human #Performance is #evolving
A pretty audacious place to do #10pushups is right...
#MountEverest #Basecamp with @jamesraffone5678 Dillon Doeden and Joe Russo for @jarofhopeorg
Thanks a million to our friend @kurtsiegelin
for adding to the attention this #epicjourney garnered in support of #climbforacure for #duchennemusculardystrophy
#missionaccomplished (sort of)
With the help of Kurt, The JAR of Hope, Dillon, Joe and countless others we raised nearly $180,000 for a clinical trial to treat #duchenne at @theuniversityofflorida - shy of the $750k needed, but holy cow what a start!
Here you have 4 #men traveling 7500 miles from home, our families, everything we know and everything we love in order to demonstrate the #commitment these men have for their #family and their dedication to save their son's lives.
I've not met #bettermen in my 43 years on this planet. Frankly, I don't think I ever will.

Want to watch something interesting?
In five weeks, I'm going to #MountEverest with three other dad's on mission to save the lives of two of their sons' lives.
They have #duchennemusculardystrophy and we're raising money from other parents to help pay to have them entered in clinical trials at @theuniversityofflorida
We four #genx #dads are flying into the #worldsmostdangerousairport the #luklaairport and #trekking six days up to #everestbasecamp and six days back.
During a time that it seems that the world is burning around us, follow along with four #badass #american #middleagedmen (two of us, strangers, myself included) and come with us as we fly halfway around the world, and #hike up almost 10,000 to the base of Mount #Everest while we raise awareness for #duchenne raise money to #savethefirstchild and build bonds and relationships with each other that will, no doubt, #changetheworld around us.
Visit my page to tag along and watch all the #elevationtraining and #aerobictraining that goes into such a climb, and visit the link in my bio to donate to the climb and stay up-to-date on everything we're doing.
Please like and share so we can give as many people as possible something great to watch. TIA
Life is about ENDURING - if we can't manage to embrace the suck, then we can't manage to complete the things we start and we can't succeed.
It's supposed to be a challenge, it's supposed to be hard.
Working out is no different - it's a battle, it's about ENDURING. What's more is that if we can't find the right headspace or the right #MINDSET then we fail before we even begin.
Free your mind and your ass will follow.
#Visualize already being done, visualize being finished. This way when the voices in your head start talking that bullsh*t and tearing you down you can tell them -
I'm already done, I'm already here. I'm sitting here at the finish line waiting for you to arrive.
Wasn't that why you started in the first place?
To find that weak and tired voice just so you could slay it?
Never forget - we purposely seek these dragons to slay because when we wait for them to find us, they find us unprepared.
The whole point in starting is because it's not easy.
Easy world be not starting at all.

On April 25th I'm going to #mounteverest with the @jarofhopeorg and good friend and even better #father - Jim Raffone.
Jim is going because he's hellbent on saving his son's life and finding a cure for #duchennemusculardystrophy
I'm going to help Jim demonstrate the depth of his #love and #devotion to his son.
As a father of these young children, I can only imagine how this man's heart breaks. And it's because I so deeply love my children, and see this man's angst and #determination that I will not let him go alone.
This man will succeed. And by God, I'm devoted to getting him there. But I can't do it alone.
#ineedyourhelp
As #homage to the devotion that I have for my #family and because no man should suffer alone, I will carry this man on my shoulders if I have to.
Currently I'm 17% to my goal of $25k - every little bit helps.
I'm #praying for 20 people to donate $100, but I will be forever grateful for any contribution, whatsoever.
