Nate called me during part 1 of this podcast and it ended the podcast so I had to roll with it and just start a part 2 to the podcast. When life throws you a curveball and you aren't ready for it, just swing away!

I just made it to Julian California!!! I have only 54 miles left on my run across the United States of America. What a feeling it is to be where I am right now. Let's keep fighting!

After 202 days and over 3100 + miles we enter California.

The little voice in your head comes around every once in awhile when things don't go your way. It tries to prey on you when you are weak. Silence the voice by remembering all that you have overcome. Get out there and get it done like you know you can!

I recap what's been going on over the last week out here on the run. It was an unbelievable experience running through The University of Arizona n Tucson yesterday. I graduated from U of A in 2017 and I never would have thought I'd be doing something like this. Tucson was just a pit stop we got some more miles to do before the finish! Run with me on December 8th in SD for the last day. Start time at 10 am from Torrey Pines High School all the way to Powerhouse Park in Del Mar. It's going to be a huge celebration. Let's get it

I'm on Day 173 of my run across America and just ran through Deming, New Mexico. I reflect on the journey and where I am today and where I was before this run started. I also talk about the final run in San Diego. It will take place on Sunday December 8th at 10 am from Torrey Pines High School. Anyone is welcome to walk or run the last 3 miles with me from there all the way to Powerhouse Park. There will also be an after party at a location TBA from 11-4 pm with a live performance. Would mean the world to have you all there!

Sometimes I notice that we are aiming for perfection over consistency when we are striving for our goals and dreams. In my experiences. Consistency has breeded character, and Perfection has breeded jealousy and a constant lack of satisfaction. Take the best golfer in the world, when you look at all things aside they tend to be really consistent. Do they have bad days? OF COURSE! But do they continue to show up day after day to get better and better, THEY DO. Keep going for it everyone!

“Once you accept the reality you can rule over it rather than letting your reality rule over you. “ I've been battling lots of things out here lately. Break down whatever you are struggling with and take it one step at a time. Life is hard but WE ARE HARDER!

Today I talk about how everyone in 2019 tells us how we SHOULD live our lives. We know ourselves best, I preach that you should live your life how you want to live it. Showing up when I haven't felt like it has helped me in my life. Maybe it will help you in yours as well. Day 153| over 2150 miles from Friona, TEXAS.

I talk about how it feels to be over 2000 miles on my run, how important it is for me to be in the moment out here, and also how to embrace every opportunity with perspective.

Today I'm in Sayre, Oklahoma getting ready to run on Day 141! I'm over 1940 miles and my dad is currently out here with me helping out for the weekend. Nate had a cousins wedding to go to so he will be getting back later tonight. Been a great visit with my dad that I will cherish forever. I talk about picking and choosing our battles. (Hint we don't get to choose) ;)

I talk about criticism and how sometimes being critical of someone can actually be the wrong move. No one has it all figured out, remember that :)

Have you ever fought with someone just to find out you were both assuming things that weren't true? Anyways, I share a similar story from my life out on the road and talk about how things have been lately. Hope you like it!

I got bit by a dog yesterday on my run. Listen to hear how I was able to overcome this and keep going!!! Don't complain about the things you can't or aren't willing to change. ❤️

Before the light comes the dawn. Just cause it's hard doesn't mean you can't handle it. Keep fighting and keep going, that's what I've done out here & will continue to do

Hello from Arkansas! Just ran into my 9th state today. My Achilles' tendon was flaring up so I decided to walk for a little bit. Sometimes we need to give ourselves a break. I've learned that this week after my big run (27.4 miles) and then two days later having a day off. The rest and recovery helped me come back so much stronger and yesterday I crushed 20 miles. Life is a marathon, we can't be sprinting the whole time!

I think all of the most successful people in the world share one same quality: they don't stop. We all have obstacles that try to stop us from where we are going. Are you going to let one no, or one heartbreak, or one failure get in your way? Or are you going to keep moving? We all have limited time here, let's make the most of it!

August 25, 2018. That's the day I joined a run club in Los Angeles. I could barely and I mean barely run the 3 miles on that first day. I was out of shape and doubting myself more than ever. I will always remember where I came from and you should too. You are a badass. You are still here fighting every day, keep going!

Are you currently not “feeling it”. Whatever you wanted to go do today you're just not in the mood? Well guess what, this resistance is good! I challenge you to still try to do it and use the resistance to power you through it. You will be like damn I actually did this even though I wasn't feeling it. Action > feelings.

This episode is all about starting. Whatever is stopping you from starting to chip away at your dreams, tell it go fuck off. Whether it's a friend or family member shitting on it, or even yourself stop thinking and just start doing. You can only create momentum if you start. Even if you start and go backwards your still moving and stand a chance. You got this, now fucking start!

Today I talk about traveling. I talk about the bubbles we can get stuck in and the routines that we can't get out of. Traveling has changed my perspective on life and forced me out of my comfort zone. It's taught me so many things but mostly I've came back from traveling with a much stronger appreciation for life! Hope you enjoy

In this episode I talk about how we can care less about what others think of us and how we can become more of our true selfs. Growing up, all I cared about was what other people thought of me. Now, it's very different. Still certain opinions may itch my skin, but it doesn't stop me from doing what I want to do in life (and that's the key!). “As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.”

This episode is all about the people I've been meeting on this amazing journey. so many people have given us a helping hand along our way. Thank you Richwood of West Virginia for showing me a great couple last days! Hope you all have an amazing day. Proud to be an American ❤️

So many of the things we do on a daily basis have been engrained in us for years. Some of our habits may be good for us and others may be bad for us. On this episode I talk about how to get rid of habits you don't like and my experience with reversing bad habits.

Get ready to listen to something I can guarantee you've never heard before. A person running across America and recording a podcast at the same time

Hello! My name is Brady Silverwood and I'm currently Running Across America. Just 8 months ago I couldn't even run a half marathon. How did I get to where I am today? Take a listen to find out

Special episode today. During this global pandemic of Coronavirus, there are a lot of people struggling out there. I tried to shine some light on acts of kindness, courage, and love during a time of uncertainty. Lets count our blessings during this time. As dark of a situation this is, it could be a lot worse. Lets be grateful for all that we have. Sending all of you reading this love and strength. WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER!

Sam Tompkins started busking on the streets of the United Kingdom at the age of 16 years old. Sam really wanted to buy a hat from a store but couldn't afford the money. His friends knew Sam could sing so they egged him on to go on the street and sing so he could make money to buy the hat. Within 20 minutes he had the 15 pounds to afford the hat. Here we are six years later Sam is one of the most emerging artists in the UK and the world. He sold out his first UK tour called 'From My Sleeve to the World' towards the end of 2019 and was chosen as Youtube UKs Top 10 artists to watch in 2020. Sam connects with his fans on the deepest level because just like his album title, his music really is worn on his sleeve. He leaves it all out there for everyone to hear and see. Sam talks about how Ed Sheeran has played a significant role in his life. I believe in a few years Sam will be more popular than one of his biggest role models, Ed Sheeran himself. Dont believe me? Go check him out!

Ryan Westberg started Serengetee as a Junior in College with the hopes of traveling more and supporting local artisans around the world. During his time as founder, he travelled to over 90 different countries and his brand has been spread all across the world. I asked Ryan how many sales he's been able to accumulate in his time as an E-commerce legend. His response... OVER 1 MILLION PRODUCTS SOLD ONLINE. And it all started with an idea to put some fabric designs on a pocket tee. Oh and for a real twist, listen all the way to the very end. Ryan shares something very ironic about this whole thing. Turns out he has something in common with Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg.

Since you are going to hear a lot from me as the host of this podcast, i figured it would be good to do an episode where you get to know me better. My good friend and now executive producer Marty Vix asks me all about starting a women's clothing company in college and how we were able to break instagram for a day with a red swimsuit giveaway. We also talk about how i went from hating running to running across the whole country. Really had a blast with Marty on this one and I hope you all enjoy. 

Kim Rose is redefining what it means to be an artist in 2020. Using primarily Instagram, she has been able to sell her artwork online all over the world. She is well known for her usage of 24k gold in her large pieces and her designs "kiss" and "embrace" have experienced virality on the app Pinterest. An Ivy League Professor once told Kim she would never be able to sell a piece of art online for more than $2,000. Her most expensive piece has sold for over $30,000. We cover pretty much everything in this episode, including Kims' favorite go to wine for while she paints and listens to Khalid.

Jim moved out to California when he was 18 with a surfboard and not much of a plan. He worked hard and after working some construction jobs, he realized he could start a business of his own. As a young entrepreneur at one point he almost went bankrupt. He never stopped learning and he never stopped working hard. In his 27 years of running his company Affirmed Housing, he has produced over 4100 units , financed over 1.4 billion dollars, and has supported over 53 communities all across California. We cover everything in this special father/son episode.
