A great discussion about Christian's adventure on the show The Selection as well as his history of extreme events and training. I've been a fan of this man for some time now ever since I saw him on the show. I had prepared a bunch of questions to help ease us along and get into the mindset of what it's like to walk the path of the warrior but in listening to his stories he just exemplifies it by the way he is in life.

I am not a victim, I'm a fighter. I have completed over 100 races of marathon distance or farther, racing over volcanoes, across deserts, and through tropical jungles and infested swamps, all over the world. I've earned my 50-mile bib at World's Toughest Mudder on CBS, took a beating on American Ninja Warrior on NBC, and survived Hell as a finisher on THE SELECTION: Special Operations Experiment, on History Channel. I have successfully completed the Fuego Y Agua 100K Trail Ultramarathon in Nicaragua more times (3) than anyone else in the history of the race. I'll never be a one-trick pony. In my early years, I missed a lot of potentially great experiences because I thought I was “too cool” to do anything but beach sports. Now, I want to try everything and do anything healthy and productive that challenges my body, mind, and spirit thoroughly. My motto is Live for a Living. I strive for it every day. 2017 History Channel reality documentary series, The Selection: Special Operations Experiment. 2017 NBC American Ninja Warrior participant. 2016 World's Toughest Mudder, 50 miles & 170 obstacles completed in under 24 hours. 2015 Survival Run Australia – Queensland, Australia. 2015 Monsters Inside Me, Season 6, Episode 2, on Discovery's Animal Planet.

Today we are joined by Christian Griffith, who shares his remarkable story of how he got to "know the internet" back in the 90's, and how it led him to a career in digital strategy.  We learn about how things like branding, search engine optimization, and digital content can harmonize to maximize visibility for people looking to use the internet as a tool for their business to thrive.  In addition, we learn how Christian himself uses this craft to share his own story, which has involved running from coast to coast in Run2Heal, health and fitness endeavors, and his own company "Live for a Living".To learn more about Christian's Story, visit his page at run2heal.org

Christian Griffith never stops moving. He is always looking to try "anything and everything healthy and productive to challenge his mind, body and spirit". That quest has led to running over 100 ultramarathons, competing in many of the toughest obstacle course races, running 3100 miles across the country (and raising over $300,000) for child sexual abuse victims, and participating on The History Channels "The Selection", a show that put 30 civilians through the toughest military training to see how they would fare.He has faced an enormous amount of adversity in his life, including being sexually abused as a child, dealing with a rare amoeba that affected his ability to breath, and recently an Achilles heel injury and surgery. But nothing can slow this man down. On his website, https://run2heal.hfc.org, he states - "My sexual abuse does not define me, it fuels me. I am not a victim, I'm a fighter."When I created this podcast I was hoping to bring the audience conversations with inspirational people. This is one of the best!

The guys welcome Christian Griffith and Michael Perry from Rickhouse Ramblings to learn about the art of bourbon tasting, reviewing bourbons, and distilleries outside of Kentucky. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

This week on Priority One --- We trek out Star Trek: First Contact with director and star Jonathan Frakes, Bryan Fuller’s Mirror Universe, Acquisition Rumors, and Legos! In Star Trek Gaming, Star Trek Online reveals the 2020 Summer Event Ship winner, celebrates the “Year of Klingon,” and helps with Zoom meeting fatigue. Of course, as always, before we wrap up the show, we’ll open hailing frequencies for your incoming messages Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! This Weeks Community Questions Are: CQ: What do you think of Bryan Fuller’s explanation of the Mirror Universe? CQ: Who would you rather take over ViacomCBS? Amazon? Netflix? Apple? AND CQ: What are your thoughts on the KDF revamp coming to Star Trek Online? What do you hope to see? TREK IT OUT by Jake Morgan Frakes Watches “First Contact” With IGN We’re leading with Jonathan Frakes again. We’d apologize if we thought it was necessary, but it’s not. The man is a treasure. So what did the actor, director, and all-around entertaining Frakes do this time? He did a LIVE watch of “Star Trek: First Contact” with IGN, and he did not disappoint. Frakes joined IGN’s “Watch From Home Theater” to stream the live-chat of the 1996 classic, and as usual, had some interesting insight and entertaining takes on the film. In regards to the rumor that Special Effects house Industrial Lights and Magic wanted to add the Millenium Falcon into the film, Frakes replied ”I like it and it's a rumor I will continue to spread.” Frakes also credited Ron Moore, Rick Berman and Brannon Braga’s script for the movies success, sighting the comedic interludes ”And THAT is one of the keys to the success of this film, is those comic beats are peppered in, they’re momentary, and then we restart the engine. I think that’s one of the real tricks to Ron and Brannon’s script that’s not always heralded as important and yet vital in an action-adventure movie.” But Jonathan Frakes answered the real question that’s been plaguing Star Trek fans for years - what’s with the Riker-Chair-Maneuver? ”That started in 10-forward because the backs of the chairs in 10-forward were so low. It was easy. And then I thought ‘this is a really hot dog, EXPLETIVE thing to do, no one is going to let me do this.’ And then nobody stopped me. It’s such a cocky, unattractive, bad cowboy move” Bryan Fuller’s Take on Mirror Universe It’s been a long road, getting from there to here. All the way back in 2016, when we could go outside and give hugs to people, seasoned Star Trek writer Bryan Fuller was given the proverbial keys to the castle - he was put in charge of bringing Star Trek back to TV. After his departure in 2017, we learned a few things about his now-defunct vision, including the pitch that the series be an anthology. Fast Forward to this week, and we learn a bit more about Fuller’s unfulfilled plans. Sitting down with Robert Burnett for his youtube show Robservations, Fuller shed light on his vision of the darker side of trek, more specifically the Mirror Universe. ”The thing that really fascinated me in sitting down and crafting the story for Discovery was just the human condition. And I thought that there are elements in the Mirror Universe that we have seen that have sort of boiled to the broadest ends of the spectrum and everything felt really binary. And what I really wanted to do in setting out is looking at the minutiae of simple decisions that have a cascade effect on our lives. So, it’s not about gold lamé sashes and goatees versus no sash and clean-shaven. It is more about, like, we are at forks in the road every moment of our lives and we either go left or right.” Fuller elaborated, saying ”It wasn’t necessarily the Mirror Universe we know from all of the other series. It was something that was closer to our timeline and experience, so you can still recognize the human being and go, ‘What did I do? How did that seem like a good decision for me in that moment and how do I continue with my life forward?’ And everything was a sort of an extrapolation out on that. So, there were things that I wanted the Mirror Universe to function in a narrative exploration of like ‘Oh EXPLETIVE, if I just hadn’t done  that one thing, everything would be better,’ as opposed to, ‘I don’t recognize that person, I don’t know who that person is, because they are a diametric opposite of who I am.” ViacomCBS For Sale? This next story requires Nancy Crater, M-113 creature levels of salt - a pinch won’t do - so get ready for some mottling. Could Star Trek, and the newly re-integrated ViacomCBS, be on the market? Film Critic, Comic Book author, and Youtuber Grace Randolph thinks she may have the answers. In a tweet dated May 1st, Randolph said ”Okay here’s some Friday tea for you. As we’ve been hearing, Apple MIGHT buy Disney - But also Netflix MIGHT buy Viacom (CBS / Paramount, etc). Super rumor stage, but that’s what’s being sipped in Hollywood right now...” Rumors of Apple purchasing Disney have been floating around for a couple of weeks now, though Nasdaq.com speculates the acquisition is unlikely. But what about Netflix purchasing ViacomCBS? Rumor site Boundingintocomics linked an article to financial website Seeking Alpha, which cited ViacomCBS as a “Prime Takeover Target”. Further, Grace Randolph -the tweeter from earlier in the story - posits on her youtube program, “Beyond The Trailer” that the acquisition would give Netflix access to ViacomCBS’ library and franchises and ”This would make Netflix a Movie Studio Proper, where they could make their prestige films, and they would be Netflix OWNED, but they would not be Netflix branded”. In short, Netflix could release Paramount movies in theaters without upsetting Netflix subscribers. Some naysayers point to the obvious fact that Netflix is currently running a substantial debt, and could not float the estimated 5 BILLION dollar acquisition cost. But what about another streaming service, one owned by a billionaire trekkie with a walk-on part in “Star Trek: Beyond” - the Jeff Bezos lead Amazon Prime? Lego Star Trek Speaking of fun. Who doesn’t like Legos? The Danish building block toy has inspired, entertained, and enlightened the lives of people across the globe for nearly forty years. And despite the fact that Star Trek has never been included in the Lego block-world, it doesn’t mean fans can’t bring it in themselves. That’s exactly what Reddit user M-2-M did, using Lego’s Free Digital Designer. Starting 3 weeks ago, M-2-M has created the cast of The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager, as well as sets from the first season of TNG in chronological order - starting with “Encounter at Farpoint” and currently ending at “Heart of Glory”. These are hugely fun, intricate, and creative and we recommend you follow the link to have a look at them all! Star Trek Online and Gaming News by Shane Hoover 2020 Summer Event Ship Contest Winner Just under 20,000 players voted in Star Trek Online’s contest to choose the next Risian Summer Event ship, and the results of the voting have now been announced. In a pair of posts on May 1st, the official STO Twitter account declared Nick Dugid’s design as the winner, taking nearly 38% of votes. The senior environment artist’s ship design will now be fully developed by concept artist Hector Ortiz and handed over to the dev teams to realize the ship for 2020’s Summer Event on Risa.  Congratulations to Nick Duguid, and also to the other three game devs who contributed to the contest. Christian Griffith’s design came in a close second with 32% of votes, while Jesse Heinig and Mike Fatum’s designs took in 16% and 13% of votes respectively.  If Nick’s design wasn’t your personal favorite, perhaps you’ll find some solace in another STO account tweet declaring “You never know where these other designs might end up.” Welcome To The Year of Klingon We recently shared Thomas Marrone’s surprise reveal of an updated Klingon Bird of Prey model, and now Cryptic have revealed that this year holds much more excitement for Klingon loving players. In fact, 2020 has been dubbed by the game as “The Year of Klingon”. A game news blog dated April 29th announced a new major, multipart Klingon focused storyline set in the game’s current timeline of 2411. The blog acknowledged that the game’s current Klingon arc is both well loved by players and at the same time lacking many recent technical improvements. Cryptic said, “we’re spending time and resources to give these pieces of content visual and gameplay facelifts. Over the next twelve months (maybe more), you’ll see new Klingon character models for some of our classic characters like J’Mpok, updated skins for the classic Klingon ships like the Bird of Prey, new environments and cutscenes to refresh this old but beloved content.” Like the recent Star Trek Discovery content releases, The Year of Klingon will be released in installments. To communicate their efforts and generate excitement over this time, there will be regular spotlights on the ongoing development. The first, tagged #StovokorSaturdays, will reveal pieces of updated content weekly on game social media accounts. One #StovokorSaturday has already gone live, providing a brief video of updated Klingon character textures like hairstyles and skin complexions. Other outlets to come are artist streams on the official Twitch account and weekly team interviews on the Ten Forward community stream.  That brings us to our first community question for Star Trek Online: What are your thoughts on the KDF revamp coming to Star Trek Online? What do you hope to see? Join Your Meetings From The Bridge “Don’t video call for the job you have, video call for the job you want.” So declared Ambassador Kael in another official blog post this week, where he shared 16 Zoom meeting backgrounds created from locations within the game. The backgrounds were all created and provided by player Primar13. The images include a wide selection of ship bridges, plus important locations like Starfleet Academy and the Klingon High Council chambers. If you want to join your next video conference from the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise, just follow the link in our show notes.  EVENTS Protect Pahvo! The second part of STO’s current four part Event Campaign has just begun on May 7th on all platforms. Players can participate in two featured TFOs to protect the living planet, Pahvo, from the Terran Empire. Completing daily progress in the Event will earn players points toward Campaign rewards such as either 1000 Lobi, or 200 Lobi and a 100% off coupon for a Tier-6 C-Store ship. Completing 14 days’ worth of progress during this Defense of Pahvo Event will unlock the following prizes: 25,000 Dilithium Ore 3 Featured TFO Reward Boxes, containing a choice of 1 Spec Point or 1 Enhanced Universal Tech upgrade The new Universal Kit Module - KIDD Drones The KIDDs, or Kinetically-Impelled Detachable Drones, were last seen protecting Commander Jett Reno aboard the wreck of the U.S.S. Hiawatha in Star Trek: Discovery. This kit module provides both a passive mode and an activated mode. When passive, the module spawns one drone with limited capabilities that follows the character into combat. When activated, however, three drones will enter combat for a brief time and more effectively damage and disable foes.

This week on Priority One --- Picard is FREE, Star Trek delays due to Covid-19, and Star Trek cast and crew entertain us through the quarantine. In Gaming news, we get our second look at the Summer Event ship’s creation, discuss the changes to lower tier ships and DOFF packs and we have another round of interviews with the Star Trek Online Team. This Week, Lead Artist Scot Boyd and Animator Weston Pierce. Of course, as always, before we wrap up the show, we’ll open hailing frequencies for your incoming messages Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! This Weeks Community Questions Are: CQ: Did you have plans to attend Destination Star Trek Germany? Will you still be attending? AND CQ: Which STO Duty Officer is your Go-To officer for your favorite builds? TREK IT OUT by Jake Morgan Picard FREE to Non-Paying Subscribers Dig this. You’re kicking it at home with diddly-squat to do. You’ve heard about this rad show called Star Trek: Picard. Sounds groovy, but you don’t want to pony up the cabbage to peep it. Good news buck-a-roo, now you can watch it on the bubble! Now that all of that outdated vernacular is out of the way, here’s what we’re trying to say - the entire first season of Star Trek: Picard is FREE! Entertainment Weekly reports Star Trek: Picard will still require that you sign-up for the free CBS streaming service, but you will gain access to Trek’s newest offering by entering the discount code “GIFT”. Sir Patrick Stewart announced the giveaway on his Instagram account, saying “It's felt good to bring Picard back. Our #StarTrekPicard season finale is Thursday, and starting today until 4/23, you can watch for free on @CBSAllAccess in the US with the code: GIFT. Link in bio to sign up. I can't wait to reunite with our cast and crew for Season 2.” Discovery Season 3 Delay When is “Star Trek: Discovery” season 3 going to start? Well, it may not be as soon as we originally thought. Back in January, Heather Kadin suggested to Trekcore that Discovery Season 3 could be released as early as May 2020, but amid the Covid-19 pandemic, it looks like the series is facing delays. The holdup was first hinted at during an Instagram live-chat with Discovery Star Wilson Cruz. According to comicbook.com, fellow Co-star Anthony Rapp noted in the comment section that the post-production work was being done from home - and the process was taking a bit more time than expected. On March 18th, Cruz seconded Rapp’s sentiments, tweeting ”I didn’t see @albinokid’s comment this morning on #InstagramLive... but see for yourself in regards to #startrekdiscovery season 3. It’s coming, but it may be a little longer than we thought... It’s coming though!” You can rest assured, we’ll be keeping a close eye out for release dates, so stayed tuned! Destination Star Trek Germany Delayed Discovery season 3’s release date isn’t the only Star Trek being delayed due to Covid-19. One of Trek’s biggest conventions - Destination Star Trek Germany - is being pushed back as well. In a release, the Destination Star Trek Germany team said in part “Our main concern is the health, safety and wellbeing of our participants, guest stars and everyone who is part of the DST family. For this reason, we have decided to postpone the event until October 9th to 11th, 2020, we hope that the virus will not be a problem until then and that we can all beam into the world of Star Trek and celebrate together! :-)” The convention, which was set to take place in early May, will remain at the same location. From the release “The venue in Dortmund is the same and all tickets already purchased remain valid for the new dates. If you are unable to attend the new dates, please contact us.” Stewart and Shatner Spread Cheer In times of great stress, we look to our leaders for guidance and direction; calmness and support...Thank goodness we have our heroic Captain’s - Kirk and Picard! Captain Kirk did something very William Shatner, he TWEETED. Well, Shatner tweeted, but he tweeted in the form of a Captains log. Starting on March 18th, the logs began “Captain’s Log: Stardate 1 of self imposed isolation. After having arrived at Planet Home, I was warmly greeted by Emissaries Espresso & Macchiato. I look forward to my planned respite from my normal duties. Kirk out.”. Shatner has done a log everyday since, including a supplemental, and we hope he continues until his 14 day isolation is complete Not to be outdone, Sir Patrick Stewart ALSO took to social media in an effort to distract and entertain. On March 21st, Sir Patrick tweeted a video of himself reciting Shakespeare's Sonnet 116. It was a beautiful performance, and received its due attention - which Stewart recognized. “I was delighted by the response to yesterday's posting of Shakespeare's Sonnet 116, and it has led me to undertake what follows…” What followed was Stewart reciting Sonnets 1 - and the next day Sonnet 2 - with the hashtag “ASonnetADay”. There was no post for Tuesday March 24th at the time of this writing, but we are hopeful and confident Sonnet 3 is on the way! Picard Cast and Crew Entertain During Quarantine Heading over to Instagram, Picard showrunner and Pulitzer Prize winning author Michael Chabon appealed to audiences young and old by reciting something different - children’s books! Chabon started the Read-along with a book he authored - “The Astonishing Secret of Awesome Man”. The videos continued with “Strega Nona Meets Her Match” by Tomie dePaola and have continued every day since! The delivery is gentle and excited, and a wonderful activity to share with your children - or even to watch by yourself! Also on Instagram, fellow Picard-ian - Santiago Cabrera - posted a video in which he, and his Ukelele, perform a rendition of Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds”. It’s another beautiful offering from a Star Trek alum.  And his messages to us - “Not to worry...AND Stay inside” - are certainly worth taking to heart! Trek out our show notes for links. Star Trek Online and Gaming News by Shane Hoover Second Summer Ship Stream This week on Twitch, Ambassador Kael hosted Christian Griffith, a Cryptic test analyst, drawing his interpretation of a Risian Science Vessel. This was the second of four weekly streams being presented by Cryptic in the design of the upcoming Summer Event prize ship. Christian worked with feedback from Lead Ship and UI Artist Thomas Marrone this week. Unlike last week’s stream featuring Nick Duguid at work on a 3-D model, Christian put pen to paper to sketch his concept. While hitting on some of the same nautically inspired ideas as Nick’s design, Christian took his drawing in a very different direction. After all four weeks of concept designs are completed, Cryptic will open up a voting contest to players. The winning design will be sent to Concept Artist Hector Ortiz for final drawing, and will then become the new Summer Event Ship for 2020. If you’d like to watch the recorded stream with Kael, Christian, and Thomas, Trek out the Twitch link in our show notes. Duty Officer Pack Changes Along with a 30% off sale and a Promotion Pack weekend recently, Cryptic announced a number of changes to Duty Officer packs for PC players. For starters, a new Duty Officer Pack Bundle has been added to the C-Store for 1000 Zen. The bundle includes one of each Duty Officer Pack: Fleet, Delta, Gamma and Romulan. The Reinforcement Duty Officer Pack has been retired, though its Tuffli Freighter reward has been moved to the Gamma Pack. Each of the four remaining packs will now include an additional Uncommon officer and an additional Rare officer. The 4x Fleet Ship Modules formerly available as a chance reward from the Delta Pack have been removed, and the odds of a bonus trait reward in that pack have increased. Individually, the four Duty Officer Packs will have a regular C-Store price of 300 Zen. Purchase T1-T4 Ships with Dilithium! Duty officers weren't the only adjustments made by the STO team. Cryptic announced Tuesday that Tier I, II, III, and IV ships will be purchasable for Dilithium. Those lower tier ships currently available to purchase via the ship vendor for dilithium will have prices significantly slashed, while Tier I through IV ships in the Zen store will be offered for Dilithium. For a closer look at the numbers, the current price of a Tier I T’Liss Light Warbird is currently 4,250 dilithium from the ship vendor. The new price? 1000 Dilithium. A Tier I T’Varo light Warbird is on the Z-store for 500 Zen. Converting that at the current rate of 404 Dilithium per zen, that’s 202 THOUSAND Dilithium. After the change drops later this week on PC, the new cost will be 15 THOUSAND Dilithium. But it isn’t ALL good news. At the time of release, which is due out on console April 9th, the Tier I Prototype Light Cruiser Explorer will not be made available for dilithium - that’s the Shenzou for anyone keeping score. Also, any ship purchased via dilithium after the change will not be account unlock - it’s per character only. EVENTS Coming up for the weekend of April 9th through April 13th Star Trek Online will have a Bonus Dilithium Weekend. During that weekend, players will receive bonus 100% extra Dilithium Ore from mining and 50% extra from other content that rewards Dilithium Ore. It’s a great time to stock up on Dilithium for Phoenix boxes or the Zen Exchange. But if you’re looking to exchange Dilithium for Zen, you might want to keep an eye on the exchange rate. It’s usually not at its best return during these events. PRIORITY ONE ARMADA NEWS Join us for TFO Thursday - each Thursday we team up with other Armada members to earn marks and dilithium.  Epsilon Fleet - working on its Tier V colony upgrades. The House of Martok 3rd Tier V Colony is on cooldown. Well done.  Mirror Month!   Other Gaming News Fleet Command Raises Another $200 Million Scopely, the studio behind Star Trek: Fleet Command, has announced via VentureBeat.com that they have secured another $200 Million in funding. The latest funding for Scopely brings their fourth round investment funding total to $400 Million. According to the article, Scopely says that they are committed to bringing people together around the world, particularly now that it’s so important to do so online. Besides Fleet Command, Scopely also develops hits like “Scrabble Go” and “Marvel: Strike Force”.

This week on Priority One --- Picard is FREE, Star Trek delays due to Covid-19, and Star Trek cast and crew entertain us through the quarantine. In Gaming news, we get our second look at the Summer Event ship's creation, discuss the changes to lower tier ships and DOFF packs and we have another round of interviews with the Star Trek Online Team. This Week, Lead Artist Scot Boyd and Animator Weston Pierce. Of course, as always, before we wrap up the show, we'll open hailing frequencies for your incoming messages Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! This Weeks Community Questions Are: CQ: Did you have plans to attend Destination Star Trek Germany? Will you still be attending? AND CQ: Which STO Duty Officer is your Go-To officer for your favorite builds? TREK IT OUT by Jake Morgan Picard FREE to Non-Paying Subscribers Dig this. You're kicking it at home with diddly-squat to do. You've heard about this rad show called Star Trek: Picard. Sounds groovy, but you don't want to pony up the cabbage to peep it. Good news buck-a-roo, now you can watch it on the bubble! Now that all of that outdated vernacular is out of the way, here's what we're trying to say - the entire first season of Star Trek: Picard is FREE! Entertainment Weekly reports Star Trek: Picard will still require that you sign-up for the free CBS streaming service, but you will gain access to Trek's newest offering by entering the discount code “GIFT”. Sir Patrick Stewart announced the giveaway on his Instagram account, saying “It's felt good to bring Picard back. Our #StarTrekPicard season finale is Thursday, and starting today until 4/23, you can watch for free on @CBSAllAccess in the US with the code: GIFT. Link in bio to sign up. I can't wait to reunite with our cast and crew for Season 2.” Discovery Season 3 Delay When is “Star Trek: Discovery” season 3 going to start? Well, it may not be as soon as we originally thought. Back in January, Heather Kadin suggested to Trekcore that Discovery Season 3 could be released as early as May 2020, but amid the Covid-19 pandemic, it looks like the series is facing delays. The holdup was first hinted at during an Instagram live-chat with Discovery Star Wilson Cruz. According to comicbook.com, fellow Co-star Anthony Rapp noted in the comment section that the post-production work was being done from home - and the process was taking a bit more time than expected. On March 18th, Cruz seconded Rapp's sentiments, tweeting ”I didn't see @albinokid's comment this morning on #InstagramLive... but see for yourself in regards to #startrekdiscovery season 3. It's coming, but it may be a little longer than we thought... It's coming though!” You can rest assured, we'll be keeping a close eye out for release dates, so stayed tuned! Destination Star Trek Germany Delayed Discovery season 3's release date isn't the only Star Trek being delayed due to Covid-19. One of Trek's biggest conventions - Destination Star Trek Germany - is being pushed back as well. In a release, the Destination Star Trek Germany team said in part “Our main concern is the health, safety and wellbeing of our participants, guest stars and everyone who is part of the DST family. For this reason, we have decided to postpone the event until October 9th to 11th, 2020, we hope that the virus will not be a problem until then and that we can all beam into the world of Star Trek and celebrate together! :-)” The convention, which was set to take place in early May, will remain at the same location. From the release “The venue in Dortmund is the same and all tickets already purchased remain valid for the new dates.

The RUNATL Podcast is hosted by Big Peach Running Co. Founder, Mike Cosentino, and Director of Marketing, Dave “D2” Martinez. This week we sit down with Christian Griffith, an accomplished Ultrarunner & Adventurer that has cheated death and pushed his body to the limit. Be forewarned we get into the topic of sex and drug abuse (no graphic detail).

One in three girls & one in six boys is sexually abused before age 18*.  This startling statistic is why Christian Griffith, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, is running across the United States for Help For Children’s efforts to prevent and treat child abuse. Christian Griffith is a survivor and a thriver! His epic 3,000-mile run concludes in San Francisco on August 22 (the launch date of this Thrive LOUD Minisode). Please click the link below to make a contribution to Run2Heal.  And enjoy this out-take from the powerful, original conversation between Lou and Christian before he embarked on this amazing run.    THRIVE LOUD!!!

Christian Griffith joins the podcast as our fourth male guest. He is currently on the road in Colorado running across the country on a mission called Run2Heal. He is changing the narratives around child sexual abuse running and speaking across the country. Christian is a survivor himself of child sexual abuse from both his mother and men.   During the episode, Christian goes into the staggering numbers of those that are sexually abused as children. I have known Christian since 2012 or 2013 as he was one of the co-founders of Obstacle Racing Media and we have traveled to various countries together for races. We have worked together on Fuego y Agua so when he wrote about his abuse I was shocked to find out this part of his story.     On the outside, he was what most would consider a total bro, but on the inside, his demons were eating him alive. He talks about all of this on the podcast. How mile after mile of his transatlantic run he is slowly reshaping his own story, helping reshape the conversation of child sexual abuse, and trying to make a better world for his newborn daughter to grow up in.   This is a powerful episode and might be a trigger for some people who have experienced abuse in their past. A huge thank you to Christian for opening up and being so honest about his journey, his story, and check out the links below to learn more about Run2Heal and his mission.

Christian Griffith is the Founder of Live for a Living and an ultra-marathon athlete.   Christian has completed over 100 races of marathon distance or farther, racing all across the world: over volcanoes, across deserts, through tropical jungles, and infested swamps. He’s earned his 50-mile bib at the World's Toughest Mudder on CBS, took a beating on American Ninja Warrior on NBC, and survived Hell as a finisher on the History Channel's THE SELECTION: a Special Operations Experiment. He’s successfully completed a 100K trail-running Ultramarathon in Nicaragua more times (3) than anyone else in the history of the race.    As a victim of secual abuse at a young age, Christian is taking a stand to prevent and treat the one in three girls and one in six boys who are sexually abused before the age of 18. To do this, he’s embarking on his latest adventure, Run2Heal - a 3000 mile run leaving New York City on March 19th and arriving in San Francisco 5 months later with the goal of raising 1 million dollars for the prevention and treatment of child abuse.     You can directly support Christian and his run across the country by donating to his cause at the link here: https://www.gofundme.com/run2heal   This podcast is produced by Force Media.

He is by every definition of the two words a survivor and a thriver. He is the founder of Live For a Living. And is the main figure behind Run2Heal an organization that is aiming to raise $1 million to support Help For Children (HFC) in their mission to prevent and treat child abuse.

Episode 154 - Christian Griffith does not do anything quietly or half-assed. When Matt met Christian in 2012, Christian was already living what most consider a "pretty good life". He had a well paying job at an ad agency in which he could dress how he wanted, and travel to races all over the world on any given week. That was not enough for him and in April of this year, he moved from Atlanta to Jacksonville, FL to go work for GORUCK. Sounds great right? Still in marketing, but for a gear and event company that pushes people past their comfort zone. Seems like a perfect fit, however, 7 months into that job and he realized he still had a thirst for more. Much more. On Monday, Christian left GORUCK to start the next chapter of his life. Listen in and find out how he plans on taking on truly being his hashtag #liveforaliving. You will also hear his unique opinions on OCR, and what he doesn't like about Matt.

My sexual abuse does not define me, it fuels me. I am not a victim, I'm a fighter. These are the words of my guest today, Christian Griffith.This interview is a powerful and inspiring one, and it's also one that some might find hard to listen to at times. So please listen with discretion and take care of yourselves.This interview is also a great example of why I do this podcast: to talk to incredibly courageous people and to help build awareness about the subject of trauma.---First, a huge thank you to my sponsors for making this podcast happen:Somatic ExperiencingTrauma may be a fact of life, but it doesn’t have to be a life sentence.
