He shares why he's proud to be part of an organization that highlights stories of credit unions making a real impact, and we also talk about the role of storytelling in marketing credit unions and why sharing these success stories is more important now than ever.As we wrap up the episode, John talks about his love for physical media such as vinyl records and blu-rays, how he uses automated lights to help with work-life balance, and a book you'd definitely find inspiration from.

In 2006, Dean Karnazes came out of nowhere to become a household name in the global running community with the publication of his memoir, Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner. What has Dean been up to in the 15 years since then? A lot more incredible running adventures, many of which are recounted in his latest book, Runner's High: My Life in Motion. In this week's podcast episode, Dean tells us why he just can't stop running, shares his views on what makes a good running memoir, and even steps outside his comfort zone to offer a few choice running tips.

David's second-to-last podcast was with Dean Karnazes, a household name to most serious runners who know that he won seven of the tough Western States 100s.  While the average American might not know him by name, a large percentage know him when I mention that he ran 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days.  Dean has a ton of other accolades, including winning the Badwater 135, an ESPY, and being named Competitor magazine's endurance athlete of the year three times.  His best-selling book Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner convinced legions of people to become runners and/or to greater challenge themselves.  He has written several other great books like Run: 26.2 Stories of Blisters and Bliss.  In this episode, Dean and I have a great chat about his latest book, A Runner's High, My Life in Motion, in which he describes in vivid detail as a now-aging runner, his adventures competing in the Bishop (CA) High Sierra Ultramarathon, returning to Western States, being a running State Department ambassador in the Borat-like world of three former Soviet republics in Central Asia, and getting pulled into the White House as an unexpected guest on one of the most momentous days in U.S. history.  His family has supported him throughout his adulthood of pushing himself to his limits, and he describes now wrestling with his relationship with them in ways both real and imagined in his own headspace.  I have no doubt this endorphin-fueled book will fire you up to go lace up your shoes and set the bar higher on your goals.  I liked one observation in particular when he said, “I didn't run to live longer, I ran to live fuller.”  I think we are all missing out on the deeper meaning to why we run if we strike out on this key point, just as he said, “Reaching the finish is not the ultimate prize, it's the story that's lived along the way.”  Whether you are a hardcore or casual runner, or not an athlete at all, I think you will enjoy this chat with the Ultramarathon man himself.Dean Karnazesultramarathonman.comdkarnazes@gmail.comFacebook @DeanKarnazesInstagram @ultramarathon Bill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram @stahlor

We're so excited to welcome Dean Karnazes to this episode of The BibRave Podcast! Dean is someone we've known about for a long time but have only recently gotten to know. In short, this man is a fountain of youth (which we discuss) and his latest book has so much to offer ALL types of runners or athletes. Dean's newest book, A Runner's High isn't a book about Dean's long-distance running exploits (of which there are MANY), nor is it a book promoting distance running. But it is about the struggle of aging as our minds and bodies come into conflict, and we talk a lot about these kinds of conflicts (especially where biological age and chronological age divert). Dean is an amazing guy with so many great stories, and he's truly one of the best ambassadors for our sport. We hope you check out A Runner's High and that you enjoy this episode!

If you create a positive relationship with fear, you can accomplish anything. In a capsule, that's the message Akshay Nanavati, the speaker, author and explorer behind the book Fearvana came to share with me today. He has been featured in Inc. Magazine, Fast Company, Entrepreneur, Forbes and many more high-profile outlets. And get this: the Dalai Lama wrote the foreword to his book after a cold pitch that took four months of confronting fear. Akshay is a veteran of the Iraq war who suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, survivor's guilt and alcoholism before he learned to confront his greatest fears. By digging deep, he figured out the fears that caused his procrastination and made them an ally. Now he uses fear and guilt to drive his “worthy struggle” of helping others overcome their own fears by embracing them. “If you don't seek out a worthy struggle, struggle will find you anyway,” Akshay tells me in this episode. And that's a lot more scary than choosing the fear you face. Have you ever felt like you procrastinate because you have a deep-seeded fear you can't overcome? This episode's for you. Have you ever avoided doing something that could lead to a great reward because you were afraid? Akshay can tell you how to move forward with actionable advice. Do you ever wonder what you could become if you could quit being scared of what might or might not happen? Akshay can tell you how to change your mindset and find bliss in your brutal reality. Click play in the player above to get started. Podcast episode highlights with Fearvana author Akshay Nanavati How fear and suffereing lead to personal growth. Choosing to live in the danger zone of a war zone. Dragging a 190-pound sled for 350 miles across one of the world's largest icecaps. How Black Hawk Down changed his life. Why the common advice of “following your passion” is a big mistake. A structure to help you get important things done faster, forever. How to use music to psychologically signal “go time” at work. Why you spend too long at your desk, and how you should structure your day. How to make fear a positive ally instead of an obstacle. What to do when fear takes control of your life.

Running is not new to this blog or podcast. In fact, I've done episodes on various aspects of running before (listen to Episode 20, Episode 25, and Episode 32.)   But a couple of things have changed since I last talked about running on the podcast. First, I am just about to complete my certification as a Level I Running Coach through the RRCA. I've been wanting to do this for a while and was so excited to take the course. I had a great time with the cohort. Second, one of the main reasons I wanted to get certified was so that I could bring that knowledge to some therapy running groups I am working on starting. Even though I have been running through years and feel that I can be helpful to runners when building a program...I really wanted the information and knowledge to do it in a way that just wasn't relying on my experience since every runner is different.   So, in this episode: I talk briefly about my coaching certification process. I share my desire to start therapy running groups in my practice. And I review the 4 key components of self-care that running engages. Please listen and subscribe to my podcast in the following places, and then leave a comment letting me know what you liked about the show, or what guest you would like to hear from.

As a kid I loved to run. Whether it was chasing or racing friends, running was something that I grew up loving to do. And I continued to run in high school, competing in the 110 meter high hurdles, 300 meter intermediate hurdles and the 4 x 400. But somewhere over the years I noticed I stopped running as much. Sure, I still ran a couple of nights a week, but that was more of an ad on to my weight lifting routine, and just another avenue that I thought would help me stay fit. But in the Spring of 2006 my brother Wyatt called me to see if I wanted to run the Chicago Marathon with him. I don't remember the details of our conversation, but I remember agreeing to do do with very little hesitancy. Sure, I had never run more than 3 miles at one time in my life, but that didn't seem to bother me. I guess I figured I would....figure it out. So I trained for 16 weeks and ended up running the marathon in about 4:13. And at that moment I became addicted to running. I entered another marathon, ran a few 5K's, half-marathons, and eventually a 50k in February of 2014. And at the time of this writing I am training for the Palo Duro 50 Mile race in October. And over the years, especially this last year, I have really found that not only has running continued to transform my life, but it has brought me great joy. I look forward to getting out and running because I never come back from a run with any regrets. In this podcast I explore several things: my own personal journey with running and how it has transformed my life. 10 benefits (and more) that running brings to your life. 7 tips to get you started in running, or to help renew your interest in running. 5 books that have inspired my running and that will inspire you.   Resources Mentioned in the Podcast Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner by Dean Karnazes Finding Ultra: Rejecting Middle Age, Becoming One of the World's Most Fittest Men, and Discovering Myself by Rich Roll Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Ever Seen by Christopher McDougall Why We Run: A Natural History by Bernd Heinrich Eat and Run: My Unlikely Journey to Ultramarathon Greatness by Scott Jurek Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain by John J.
