After falling into triathlon by accident, Colleen went on to become a trailblazer in the sport, winning a world championship in 1984 and national championships in 1988 and 1990. She took first place in more than 100 races throughout her triathlon career in the 80s and 90s. Today, she has a spot in not one, but two sports halls of fame—in Jackson County, Alabama and here in Boulder, Colorado. Since retiring from triathlon, Colleen has poured her energy into Women's Quest adventure retreats. She founded the organization with a clear vision—to give women outdoor experiences where they can connect with themselves, their bodies, each other, and nature—and in that process, uncover their true hearts' desires. Through her years as an athlete and an entrepreneur, Colleen has worked closely with international companies including Nike, Adidas, Athleta, Specialized, New Balance, Fila, Saucony, Subaru, Reebok, Smartwool, Hind, Barbara's Bakery, Odwalla, Pioneer Electronics, and Oakley.Connect with ColleenWebsite: www.womensquest.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/womensquest/Facebook: ​​https://www.facebook.com/womensquestadventuresFor full episode details, CLICK HEREHave a question you'd like me to answer on the podcast?Ask it right hereSign up for my newsletter and get a FREE GIFT, 11 Things You Can Do Right Now to Feel Better About Your BodyWant to know my secrets for getting published in top publications?They're all in my e-book, 7 Pitches That Sold.

Pura Vida! That means pure life. It’s what they say in Costa Rica – a country that has become very special to me. It’s the place I learned a new sport that I hope to continue through the rest of my life - surfing! Today you get to meet a very special person – his name is Ismael Araya. Ish is a surfing legend, a survivor, and today a surf instructor who helps people find happiness, even though he doesn’t have full use of his legs anymore, something you might think is a requirement for a surf instructor! I asked Ish to explain Pura Vida and he said it’s the answer to everything. It means pure life and it’s possible that Costa Rica is the happiest country in the world because they share pure life with each other all day long. Good morning. Pura vida. Nice wave. Pura vida. My car broke down. Pura vida. This coffee is delicious. Pura vida. My baby won't sleep. Pura vida. Ish’s story is both heartbreaking and hopeful. He was a young, self-taught surfing prodigy who gained early fame as his surfing career started to take off. But his lack of discipline combined with a lack of support led to unhealthy drug use and an inability to control his anger. Ish didn’t reach the highest echelons in his sport at that time and instead, he floundered and simply survived. Until one day when he almost didn’t survive. Ish literally died twice under a bus when he went of out control on his motorcycle over 6 years ago. He was revived only to be told he would never walk again. That’s when the Ish I know today was born. Somehow Ish has been able to not just survive, but to thrive, as a new person in a new body. He has definitely defied the odds in many ways. Episode Note We recorded via skype on Colleen Cannon’s laptop in Costa Rica. You’ll hear a few beeps because Colleen is a very popular woman planning and running Women’s Quest retreats around the world. I have to give her some props – she is the reason I met Ish in the first place and my favorite surf buddy. She’s also episode 50 of this podcast called “Colleen Cannon on Chickens, Watermelons & Why Women Will Save the Earth.” Today we talk about: How Ish found surfing His early days on a board Ish's family life with 22 siblings How a lack of support led to anger led to drugs The accident The prospect of losing his legs entirely How Ish came back and started walking again The 2nd accident How surfing and the ocean helped Ish heal and grow Ish today: Adaptive surfing advocate, surf instructor & engaged dad Some people call Ish a surf shaman. I would agree with that. The water, the ocean, surfing, they all take on such a bigger meaning when Ish is involved. Yet he’s still just a person, trying to survive, trying to find happiness each day. As he said, he now works to accept the quiet side of life. My favorite Ish quote, and there are so many, is what he said to me on the board that day in January, “Nicole – you must look where you want to go – or at least where you’re going.”  I’d love to know your favorite part of this episode.

You know when you love something so much that you don’t realize how much time has gone by? That’s exactly how I feel about this podcast. I wasn’t sure what would happen when I started. I just reached out to some amazing people to see if they’d come on my show and they did. My first episode was a short explanation of the podcast. The general preface was that I would interview visionaries and people making change in the world in the hopes that it would inspire others and bring us all closer together. I imagined people would listen during their weekend 5k’s, so I planned the podcast around the average time it takes to run a 5k which is 36:38. As you glance through my 100 episodes you’ll see that I end up getting closer to a 10k every time. I just can’t cut the interviews short when every single person has so much to offer. For the 100th episode I decided to do a montage of 10 of my most powerful interviews. I have to start by saying that EVERY SINGLE GUEST on the show has been my favorite. It was very hard for me to choose 10 episodes to feature. They are not necessarily in my top-10 most listened but instead I chose episodes that cover a range of topics from a variety of people. Today you will hear a short snippet from each of these episodes with an explanation for why I chose them. Many of you are just getting started with Run This World and doing crazy marathon sessions listening to my incredible guests. This is a great episode to forward to any friend who isn’t sure where to start! Episode 6 - Erin Carson on training for life Episode 24 - Kara Burns From Prison to 26.2 Episode 37 – Emily Harvey Amputee Athlete on Rocking Your Differences Episode 41 - Siri Lindley World Champion Person on Getting Out of Your Head and Into Your Heart Episode 50 - Colleen Cannon on Chickens, Watermelons and Why Women Will Save the Earth Episode  67 - Janelle Smiley Faced Her Fears & Came To Life Episode 68 - Thirteen Years Ago Erika McDonald had Two Months to Live Episode 70 - Mark Mikel on Loss, Grief and Becoming Whole Again Episode 87 - Kara Goucher Redefines Herself Episode 97 - Mirna & Latoya Uncensored It’s a wrap. The first 100 episodes are in the bag and properly commemorated! I’m so proud of this podcast and all of the incredible guests that have so beautifully put themselves out there – openly, honestly and with such vulnerability - to give all of you even a tiny glimpse of a new way to look at this world. Because in the end, we are not alone and that’s the point. All right then, you know what time it is. It’s time to get out there and Run This World! Have a great workout and I’ll see you next week.

Meet Colleen Cannon - former professional triathlete & the founder of Women’s Quest. Before retreats were a thing, before women’s-only anything was a thing, before the internet even, there was Colleen. She was one of the most prolific triathletes in the 80s and 90s. She is a World Champion and multiple time National Champion, but her background wasn’t as a purist swim, bike, runner. She rode horses. And she still does. Colleen discovered her calling early on; she knew she needed to create a way to bring women together for self-care, love and empowerment.I want to have her on the show again because we barely scratched the surface on so many incredible topics. I hope you’re ready for an energy infusion. Enjoy!

Guest: Colleen Cannon, Founder Women’s Quest She’s a force of nature, a world champion triathlete, and she is on a mission to help save the planet. It’s no small feat, but for Colleen Cannon it’s all in a day’s work. Here’s Colleen’s take on living a whole, happy and healthy life.
