RFP Podcast Episode #221: Filling Your Gaps

Today is another solo adventure since Bryan is on his 3rd and final leg back east. Safe travels brother! We plan to be back at the video sessions next week. In the meantime however, I did want to share this message and let you know that I will be having a guest this Thursday, another Ultra Dad to share some stories. Hope you all tune in. Today’s show was inspired by another podcast I listened to a few weeks ago with Jay Shetty & Will Smith. You can hear the full episode via the link below: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/on-purpose-with-jay-shetty/id1450994021?i=1000517713511 Did want to specifically focus on the “filling in the gaps with growth” topic though. This is something I find myself doing a lot and today’s quick show talks about it in some detail. The RFP Ultra Dad’s Podcast is sponsored by Time on the Trails – delivering you a customized experience out on the trails in Arizona and beyond.

The Ultra Dad’s Podcast came from an idea Cindy Shane created. 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
