A conversation with running legend Amby Burfoot. Amby Burfoot stands as a titan in the running world.

Kelly the younger, and Bill Rogers.We discuss the recent performances and new world records coming from the professional marathon field and Amby gives his perspectives on what's driving the performance, and he discusses his skepticism with the authenticity of some of the recent performance given the possibility and prevalence of performance enhancement substances.We talk about the heightened popularity of running and Amby gives his advice to runners looking to perform, enjoy the sport recreationally, enhance general health and increase longevity in the sport.About Amby Burfoot on Marathon Handbook: https://marathonhandbook.com/author/amby/ Amby Burfoot's Run Long, Run Healthy Newsletter: https://marathonhandbook.com/run-long-run-healthy-newsletter/Amby's Books on Running: https://www.ambyburfoot.com/p/buy-autographed-book.htmlFollow Us:Facebook: https://Facebook.com/EventHorizon.TvTwitter: https://twitter.com/EventHorizonTvInstagram: https://instagram.com/eventhorizon.tvYouTube: https://youtube.com/c/EventHorizonTv

Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates. The following is a sample of the Munk Debates' weekly current affairs podcast, Friday Focus. As we enter into the final stretch of one of the most consequential presidential elections in US history, Janice and Rudyard disregard the often inaccurate polls to make their own predictions about who will win on November 5th. Regardless of the revelations about his personal character, the state of inflation, immigration, and the economy is fueling his resilience in this race. How will the conflicts in Ukraine, Israel, and China - currently stalled due to the upcoming election - start heating up again post November 5th? And how will the winner - Harris or Trump - affect these geopolitical conflicts and the global economy? To wrap up today's show Rudyard and Janice discuss the revelations being made by Trump's former high ranking officials John Kelley and Mark Milley about his embrace of fascism and why voters should take their warnings seriously.

So far, I'm about eighty podcasts in.If someone tells me they listen, they usually follow up with ‘that Frank Lowe one's great' (or ‘sick', depending on their age).I always ask why, but never get a clear answer.They just like it.It was enjoyable to record too, but I left wondering whyhe'd barely mentioned Lowe Howard-Spink.As if he'd only ever worked at CDP.Which was a shame, CDP had been amazing, but they weren't my era.Lowe's was.By the time I'd snuck into advertising the cool agencies were the new ones – GGT, BBH, AMV and the agency that carried Frank's name.Year after year, they won big awards for big clients.Stella Artois, Vauxhall, Tesco, Heineken, I could go on.So I will – Lloyds Bank, Reebok, Weetabix, Gordons Gin, Parker Pens, The Mail On Sunday, Condor, Castella, Tizer, Ovaltine, KP, The Hanson Trust, Birds Eye, Smirnoff, Coca-Cola – they were huge.And all of those clients won awards.And, unlike CDP, they started opening or acquiring offices across the globe.But it wasn't always this way.In 1981, only months after opening their doors, they were in turmoil.Totally dysfunctional.Having swiped a big chunk of CDP's senior talent, they didn't have a plan or structure of how to use them.Who over-saw who?Did anybody over-see anybody?Who was Creative Director?Dave Horry? Alan Waldie? John O'Driscoll? John Kelley? Alfredo Marcantonio? Or the recently added former CDP superstar Geoff Seymour?They found that too many creative leaders meant they had no creative leader.Six months in, Horry, O'Driscoll and Kelley walk.On the way out the door, they advise Frank that he needed a Creative Director and it should be the least-known and youngest of the breakaways – Alfredo Marcantonio.Suddenly, things started to work.We talk about why and the rest of Marc's career, hope you enjoy it.

**Please note that this episode may be triggering for some listeners. Take care as you listen.**John Kelley shares his story of loss, resilience, and perseverance in this week's episode. John's story is one of tragedy and triumph, and his incredible journey inspires many. In this episode, John talks about his father's advice (“Tomorrow is not promised”), his father's untimely and sudden death, and the tragic passing of his mother.“Sometimes, he would have those mind-blowing philosophical conversations. You know, like I am because I am, and I can think; therefore, I am not like he would bring these weird things up that he's read or heard of in the past. And one of the things that he would always say was much simpler than all of that, and it was tomorrow is not promised. And he's told me that from a young age, it's something that I've always heard. It's just not something that I had understood yet, and it was in an instant when I was told he was gone; it all of a sudden was a lesson learned of Damn Tomorrow is not promised.”Here are the main takeaways from this episode:Despite the immense grief and loss John experienced, he persevered and found a way to honor his parents and build a successful career. He used the pain and suffering to fuel him and create a life of purpose and meaning.John found solace in his friendships and relationships with those around him. He leaned on them for support and guidance during his difficult times.He believes in the power of his story and how it can help others who are going through similar experiences.John Kelley is a Texas firefighter, entrepreneur, and marketing advisor.

Today we're getting into the important topic of mental health and the progress made in the field of EMS and first responders around this issue. We can all use a few words of encouragement to make it through some of the tough seasons that are bound to come around from time to time! Joining the show today is Clint, a seasoned professional from different sectors in the world of first response, having worked in the fire department as well as an EMS. The idea here is to open up the dialogue about common issues that many of us face. Clint took his passion for writing and his experiences in the field and dedicated himself to a new project; what started out as a script for a feature film has transformed into a series of interviews and stories compiled into a dedicated web series. Clint talks about how this evolution happened, his hopes to still make a film once he raises enough money, and we also get to discuss the environments that many of us came up in and how these are progressing. So, to hear it all from Clint and the important and exciting strides he's making for our community, be sure to listen in! Key Points From This Episode: The benefits of a quick check-in with yourself and how you are feeling. Clint's favorite meal to cook and why he loves breakfast foods!A look back at Clint's winding path, time at the fire department, and desire for new challenges. The rise in conversations around mental health in the last few years. How Clint approached writing about mental health and the evolution of this into a YouTube channel!What to expect from the documentary series and the types of stories Clint wants to tell.Looking back on John's experience of losing a best friend to suicide.Why conversation and communication are so important for supporting and learning.  The importance of including the dispatch departments in these conversations. Why small words of thanks or affirmation can impact us so deeply.  A look at the funding process for Clint's project.How to find and connect with this amazing project online! Tweetables: “So often I think it's easy for us to neglect our own mental health, and to forget that we need to stop and check-in on ourselves and take care of ourselves sometimes.” — John Kelley [0:01:31] “I wanted to open up a dialogue between us, get us talking to each other. I guess being more accepting of each other's problems.” — Clint [0:10:02] “My way of dealing with things has always been writing, so I wrote a script and it had a lot to do with mental health and EMS, and so I really wanted to make this movie.” — Clint [0:10:44] “What I would like to do is hit a new department every week, talk to somebody new about their struggles with their mental health.
