Care Less, Do More. – E26 – Travis Ganong Travis Ganong and I grew up together here in Lake Tahoe skiing at Palisades where we honed our skiing technique with the famed race program.

I’ve just spent the day with my dad and it inspired me to write a little something down to share. I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I wasn’t really sure how it would land. Fingers crossed it hits perfect transition and I don’t overshoot, but if I overshoot the landing…my bad. Shin bang is curable anyways.

Care Less, Do More. – E19 – Rory Bosio My guest on the show today is a longtime inspiration of mine, Rory Bosio. Rory took and unconventional path to becoming a professional ultra runner. “Training” took place on her own accord and in her own style. The whole coach thing, heart rate monitors, GPS tracking watches, and a schedule didn’t feel as free. She went backcountry skiing, cross country skiing, what she refers to as destination running, and on occasion when I was out climbing I would see Rory riding her beat up beach cruiser up Donner Summit.
