This week's episode is a little different. I recently crossed the finish line at the 130th Boston Marathon, and I invited my friend and fellow coach Shelby Tutty to sit down with me for a conversation about the race, the journey, and what it actually feels like to reach a goal you've been chasing for years.

But this isn't just a race recap. If you have a dream you've been putting off, a goal that feels just out of reach, or something you've tried before and haven't quite gotten to yet, there's something in this conversation for you. 

What You'll Discover:

  • What makes the Boston Marathon unlike any other race and why qualifying is only half the battle
  • How your brain can quietly shift the goalposts the moment you get close to something you've worked hard for
  • A simple framework for taking the first step toward any goal, even one that feels impossible right now
  • Why support matters more than willpower when you're going after something big

If you've ever had a dream sitting quietly in the back of your mind that you haven't let yourself fully go after yet, this episode is for you.
