The episode features JB Benna, a filmmaker and adventurer who's work creating the film Unbreakable has notably influenced the sport. Troy shares his personal connection to Unbreakable,crediting it alongside the book Born to Run for fostering his love for ultra running. JB Benna discusses his background, combining a passion for art, entrepreneurship, and adventure, highlighting his early interest in filmmaking inspired by family trips and outdoor activities in the Reno-Lake Tahoe area. JB pursued film studies at USC, where he honed his technical skills and story structure knowledge. His early career included roles at Spyglass Entertainment and Warner Brothers, providing valuable experience in script development and video editing. A transformative hiking expedition on the Pacific Crest Trail introduced him to ultra running, leading to his first ultra marathon, the Ridgecrest 50k. This dual passion for adventure sports and filmmaking culminated in the creation of Journey Film. His first major project, "The Runner," documented David Horton's speed record attempt on the Pacific Crest Trail and found success within the ultra running community, supported by sponsors like Montrail. Subsequent projects, including filming Dean Karnass's "50 marathons in 50 states in 50 consecutive days" for The North Face, further established JB's reputation for authentically capturing the spirit of ultra running. We then dive into Unbreakable, how it came to life, the pitfalls and challenges of creating the film and the impact that it has had on the sport.  JB shared some rather amazing insights into how the film was made in a time where Go Pos with built in gimbals and 4k video on Iphones was non-existent.  We round out the convo talking about the decision and the impact of putting Unbreakable up on Youtube free of charge for the newest generation of trial and ultrarunner to experience.  JB's Links IG - @jbbenna       @journeyfilmWebsite - Journey Film Things we talked about in this episode Unbreakable on Youtube USC Film School PCT Jeff Cozack Journeyfilm Unbreakable Digital Box Set - OVER 10 HOURS OF BONUS MATERIAL The Runner - David Horton - PCT Speed Record  Krissy Moel Ultra Marathon Man - Book 50 Marathons in 50 States in 50 Days - Film Spirit of the Marathon Release - Screen Vision Hal Koerner Carly Koerner Kilian Jornet Anton Krupicka Tahoe Rim Trail 100 Western States Topher Gaylord If you are enjoying the content, please consider supporting our sponsors using the links below.

“Suffering purifies you if you accept it as God’s will.”-JB BennaOver the past two years since the last time my friend JB Benna, ultrarunner and filmmaker, and I spoke on this podcast, we have both undergone quite dramatic shifts in our personal journeys. Shifts that have been both good and bad but that have both landed with spirituality. Today JB and I explore that journey and how Christianity has come to play a major role in JB’s life. Now I know for some of you, reading that we are going to discuss Christianity may rub you the wrong way. However, I advise you to keep an open mind and listen with curiosity to this conversation that, when it comes down to it, explores the relationship between spirituality and ultrarunning. JB and I delve into what God and Christianity mean to him and to me, how suffering can be seen as a teacher, and the various forms that spirituality can take in one’s life.AUM,Jarod ContrerasFind JB:journeyfilm.com/tmrrealestate.com/Instagram: @jbbenna instagram.com/jbbenna/Twitter: @jbbenna twitter.com/jbbenna?lang=enFacebook: JB Benna facebook.com/jbbennaSupport Touching the Trail:touchingthetrail.com/donatetargetreleaserecovery.comFind Touching the Trail:touchingthetrail.comTouching the Trail Weekly: touchingthetrail.com/signupInstagram: @touchingthetrail instagram.com/touchingthetrailTwitter: @touchthetrail twitter.com/touchthetrailFacebook: Touching the Trail facebook.com/touchingthetrail
