RFP Podcast Episode #205 – Ultra Dad’s Session #16 – “Finding the Rainbows” - Year In Review

We took a week off for the Christmas Holiday (you are welcome by the way 😊) but are back at it for a year in reflection. 2020 was unique to say the least but there are many “rainbows” that we were able to find. Our hope is that as we all look back on this past year, we can find some silver lining, some moment or some piece of happiness, hope, love, joy, and progress. We have all found ways to be more creative, to pivot, to adjust, and adapt to a wild & wacky year. We believe that in some way, we found a way to make at least, one great choice this year. Thanks to Timber and Bear for their contributions to this week’s episode and for Tanner’s modeling shot – Find Your Rainbow. BTW – Keep an eye out for Bryan’s first pass at his modeling career. Pictures soon to be posted 😊. We want to thank you all for tuning this year, keeping us company, and for all the love & support. We are excited to see where 2021 takes us and at the very least, Bryan and I will continue to share our stories, give up some laughs, and have a few beers. Happy New Year all – Much Love!!! – Bryan & Mike It was an earlier than usual session today, so Bryan had a bit of joe with some PBR Hard Coffee. Mike just went for some of the good stuff – Coronado Brewing Co’s Weekend Vibes IPA.

Well, she planted the idea in our head after listening to the first time Bryan was on the RFP Podcast in May 2020. There have many times over the years when we speak on the phone or in person the “we should be recording this” line comes out. Well, here we are jumping in with both feet, like we tend to do, sharing with you our perspectives on life. Let’s be candid – we are not perfect, and we fail often. Our favorite term to use is “it’s not ideal” and there have been countless times we’ve uttered, “a plan is great until you are punched in the face;” – but we do laugh a lot, at ourselves and/or each other mostly 😊. All that said, there are those brief moments where things tend to fall into place and we, somehow, make it to that finish line – as ultrarunners yes, but most importantly has husbands, fathers, friends, and human beings. We wanted to share those imperfections and those incredible moments that we’ve been fortunate enough to experience together over the last 30+ years. So, sit back, grab a cold one, and hopefully this will be another time where things fall into place. Bryan & Mike
