EP20 - Real Talk in Real Life: Coaching, Kids & Chaos

Rich shares a powerful moment watching his son embrace the transition into high school - and how it reminded him of the quote: "No man ever steps in the same river twice."Together, we explore:🎙️ The closure of the Over the Influence podcast and what it teaches us about boundaries and burnout in community-building🧠 ADHD, anxiety, and how change hits different when your brain works a bit differently📱 The dilemma of smartphones and parenting in a digital world🏃‍♂️ Our new AI-enhanced coaching system using RunDot - and how it’s helping us (and our runners) train smarter, not harder💬 Why connection (to others and ourselves) is everything during life transitions🙌 Huge shoutouts to our Clean Break runners tackling the Great North Run & upcoming marathonsThis episode is for anyone navigating change - whether that’s a career shift, a lifestyle transition, becoming alcohol-free, or just facing the reality that life never stays still.If you’ve ever felt like you’re “not quite where you want to be”… you’ll want to hear this.
