Do Big Things

They're back! The power couple of the Colorado 14ers have done it again. Andrew Hamilton and Andrea Sansone have been on the podcast a few times before and it was an honor to have them back to talk about their latest adventure. They completed all 58 of the Colorado 14ers in 12 days 6 hours and 43 minutes, setting a speed record as the fastest Coed team to complete the mission! Hear me now, thank me later--don't miss this episode!

David Hedges spent the last 5 weeks camping and training beneath the Nolan's 14 line. When he had a weather window, he executed. He was able to bring the supported record down to 39:06. Listen to this inspiring conversation! Life is short, DO BIG THINGS! big-things-crewing.com

Alyssa Clark is on a tear! In January, she won the HURT 100, following wins at the Moab 240 and about a half dozen other races. She is an ultrarunning coach at Uphill Athlete, a podcast contributor and a Van Dweller. She has been chasing her dream of being a professional athlete for a while now and now that she's living it, she's not wasting any time. She is quickly becoming a prominent figure in the ultrarunning community and it was a joy to sit and pick her brain. Don't miss this episode! DO BIG THINGS! big-things-crewing.com

Chris Ward is an interesting cat and I've wanted to have him on the podcast for a long time.  Not only does he host a podcast but he teaches middle school science, runs ultramarathons--and most recently, produced and co-directed the beautifuly crafted ultrarunning documentary, A Long Way From Nowhere.  The film follows the Desert Rats 150 mile stage race and the colorful characters that dare to take on such an event.  This movie is for everyone and it's going to get you right in the feels.  Don't sleep on this one!  Available on March 10th.   Check out the Like a Bigfoot podcast on all listening platforms.   Life is short, DO BIG THINGS!

Daniel Hobbs is the current Colorado 14er self supported speed record holder.  He climbed fifty-eight 14,000 foot peaks in 14 days.  That would be a large order for any Colorado athlete but Daniel hails from Minnesota!  How does a guy from the Midwest beat depression and climb fifty-eight mountains faster than anyone?  Dig into this episode! big-things-crewing.com patreon.com/dobigthings biggerthanthetrail.com  athleticbrewing.com PROMO is MCROBERTSA20 alteregorunning.com PROMO is DOBIGTHINGS Life is short, DO BIG THINGS!

Keith Hayes and Laura Kaplan just completed the Nolan's 14 line. They've been obsessed with these 14 peaks all summer long and they put a lot of time and effort into scouting and completing the project. It took them 85 hours to complete the line which means they were out there (and awake) for the majority of three nights. They were up against some gnarly weather and the fact that they pushed on was pretty mind blowing to me.

Chris Fisher is a monster! I had him on once before, episode #110 where he set a World Record by logging over 400,000 vert feet in one month for the Max Vert Challenge. Well, he's back!

Travis Soares just climbed all 247 peaks of the Sierra Peaks Section.  He set the FKT by climbing them all in 117 days.  Until recently, no one had done all of them in one season.  This was a major accomplishment and a monster effort on Travis's part.  He also picked up some crazy stories along the way.  DO BIG THINGS Travis!

Andrea Sansone recently smashed the men's 24-hour 14er record. With the help of her partner, the Godfather of Nolan's 14 Andrew Hamilton, she tagged twelve14,000 foot peaks in 24 hours. I was lucky enough to sit down and have a conversation with both of them. You're not going to want to miss this episode! big-things-crewing.com patreon.com/dobigthings

My man, Justin True, has become the hero of his own story, in a very real way. After a traumatic and sometimes violent childhood, including a suicide attempt, he carved himself into a successful MMA fighter turned hybrid endurance athlete. He raises money for different charities and organizations by doing world record type events, including pulling a truck for a 26.2 mile marathon! He is currently training for the world's largest triathlon where he's going to swim 60 miles, bike 3,000 miles and then top it off with an easy 600 mile run!

Marc Jacksina and I had some good laughs at our own expenses throughout this conversation. We're both aging white men with faded tattoos that somehow managed to find sobriety and peace around the same time we found trail running and ultramarathons. It seems to be a common theme. However, Marc wears it well! With roots in the punk and hardcore music scene, we talk about the early influences that led us to where we are today.

Welcome back to the DO BIG THINGS podcast! I am here to inspire you, week after week with heroic tails from the trails. I've got a banger here for you this week, this one got me right in the feels. Larry DeWitt has too many races and accomplishments to list here but a couple of them include Tour Divide finisher in 2018 as well as the Leadman champion in 2006 and 2009. If you know anything about the endurance world, that says a lot right there. However, Larry grew up in a dysfunctional family where he was a juvenile delinquent, a high school dropout and periodically homeless. Sounds like two different people, right? Luckily, Larry was able to flip the script at an early age and went back to high school, ran cross country, graduated honor roll, enlisted into the army and eventually earned himself three different degrees.

When talking with my friend Jason Howell, it seemed like he had packed a few different lives into his 38 years.  From the Marine's to the Green Berets to the Moab 240, it's safe to say that Jason's Life Resume is packed full of adventure.  He's about to take on his biggest project yet, Mount Everest!  He is raising money for a nonprofit supporting greenberetracing.org.  Jason will be climbing and summiting Mount Everest without the use of supplemental oxygen in an effort to bring awareness to the fallen service members of our country and the hidden issues of PTSD and suicide.  His goal is to raise $25,000.  You can support him at givingtuesday.mightycause.com.  Support this man and his mission!  Original Music by @the.pro.guey  SPONSORS: biggerthanthetrail.com  alteregorunning.com PROMO code is DOBIGTHINGS  athelticbrewing.com PROMO code is MCROBERTSA20  xoskin.us PROMO code is BTC  onpacewellness.com / mention this podcast for 10% off  Life is short, DO BIG THINGS!

My guest this week, William “Boxcar” Curry takes one step at a time towards progress and recovery. After a hard life of following around the Grateful Dead and hopping trains all over the country, Boxcar eventually gave up the hard drinking and hard drugs for simply putting one foot in front of the other. He discovered walking which led to hiking which led to long distance thru-hikes. He's hiked some of the biggest trails in the US and now he's even dipping his toes into the ultramarathon world. He is the founder of Trails of Recovery where he helps others get and stay sober through the power of movement. The power of one step at a time. I apologize for the sound quality of this episode, we did the best we could with this one. I hope to have Ol Boxcar back on the show at some point to make up for it.

This is the DO BIG THINGS podcast, episode 112.  My guest this week, Erik Schlimmer, has climbed almost 2,500 mountains.  He's spent over a thousand nights camping in the wilderness.  He's written a bunch of books.   This was just a super fascinating conversation for me.  He's been on the show before, he was on episode 36 of the DO BIG THINGS podcast.  If you go back and listen, you'll remember Erik is the guy who doesn't filter his water when he's out in the wild.  He dips right into a stream and consumes.  This goes against everything we've been taught.  No filtering, no iodine tablets, nothing.  So needless to say, Erik marches to the beat of his own drum.  Those are the people that I love.  These are the folks that I want to come on the show and chat.  I know you are going to enjoy this conversation!  MUSIC: @the.pro.guey  SUPPORT COMES FROM:  biggerthanthetrail.com  athleticbrewing.com 20% PROMO CODE is MCROBERTSA20  xoskin.us 15% PROMO CODE is BTC  onpacewellness.com Mention this podcast for a 10% discount.    big-things-crewing.com  patreon.com/dobigthings  Life is short, DO BIG THINGS baby!

With two seconds to spare, Natalie Bickers was the last person standing at the Moab 240 this year.  She finished the race just in the nick of time to be considered a finisher of the 240-mile ultramarathon, among the other 127 finishers.  She hadn't planned on cutting it so close.  Imagine the adrenaline of running as fast as you can for the last few miles of a 240-mile race, just to get across the finish line before the final cutoff.  Natalie did it and she's not even close to being done with 200 mile races either.    Original music by @the.pro.guey  Athletic Brewing 20% PROMO code is MCROBERTSA20  On Pace Wellness // mention this podcast for 10% off  Xoskin 15% off PROMO code is BTC  Life is short, DO BIG THINGS!

I've got another dope podcast right here for you guys. Emily Keddie is someone I've wanted to have on the show for a while. I think I hit her up once and it fell through but I'm one of those guys that doesn't stress when something falls through because maybe it just wasn't meant to happen at that particular time. Well, Emily just completed the Moab 240 and I thought what a great time this would be to reach back out and see if we can make it happen. Luckily for all of us, it happened! Anyone who runs 240 miles is going to come away with some obscure stories of struggle and elation and Emily certainly doesn't disappoint. She finished tenth place female and I absolutely loved this conversation and I think you guys are going to dig it too.

How lucky am I? I get to chat with some of the baddest, most skilled, most talented adventurers on the planet. Well, I've got a bonus episode for you guys this week. It's so good, I just wanted to get it out! Hector Rodriguez just completed what is affectionately known as the Triple Crown of 200's. That's three 200 mile races within a three month window. It's been a goal of his to complete this insane, mind melting adventure for over a year now. And he did it. We get into it all from humble beginnings to strategy to the Wolfpack that he rolls with and just what it takes to run three 200's over the summer. These last couple of episodes have been some of my favorites and I hope you like this one as much as I did!

Hello and welcome back to another fabulous episode of the DO BIG THINGS podcast!  My guest this week is the KING of the FKT's.  He has more Fastest Known Times than anyone else in the world and when he was approaching his 100th FKT, he decided to go big!  He climbed the state of Washington's Highest 100 mountains faster than anyone (by a long shot), doing it in 50 days, 23 hours and 43 minutes.  You've got to hear all about it!

I've got a young up and comer on the show this week. Anthony Lee is out crushing big mountain races and I had to get him on the show to hear how he does it. He ran three 100's this year and he won two of them, including his A race for the year, Ouray 100. He was the 3rd fastest person to run this beast of a race! He's only 27 years old and he's just finding his rhythm when it comes to ultramarathons. He's getting faster and having more success and if you're into ultra, this is a guy you're going to want to keep your eye on.
