Send us a textWhat does it take to run 150 miles with nothing but sheer will and a burning passion to make a difference? Hear about the epic journey of embracing pain for personal growth, as I recount my ultramarathon experience across the iconic Ravenel Bridge in Charleston, South Carolina. This wasn't just a test of physical endurance, but a powerful tribute to families battling cancer through Breaking Ribbons. Along the way, I faced the harsh realities of weather, relentless inclines, and the psychological warfare that comes with pushing beyond perceived boundaries, all while surrounded by a community that believed in the impossible.Join me as I unravel the layers of challenging limits and overcoming doubt. Imagine starting a monumental run at 3:30 a.m. amidst 86-degree temperatures and no cloud cover to shield you. Each mile was a testament to determination, with every step reinforcing the belief that our limits are often self-imposed. Through the searing pain and mental battles, I discovered that the journey wasn't just about the destination, but the lessons learned along the way. Even as exhaustion loomed near mile 80, the strength found in brief moments of rest and community support illuminated the path to not just finishing but thriving.Discover how extraordinary goals demand a powerful support system and the resilience that comes from teamwork. Reflecting on the concept of "return on inconvenience," I share insights from both my personal and professional life, emphasizing the monumental opportunities unlocked through struggle. From the unwavering support of friends and family during the ultramarathon to the inspiring story of Phil Knight's journey with Nike, this episode is a tribute to the indomitable spirit of community and the transformative power of embracing life's challenges. As Breaking Ribbons evolves from a passion project to a nonprofit dream, I invite you to join me in this pursuit of positive change and self-discovery.Thank you for tuning in!

//The Wire//2200Z June 5, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: MAJOR CELLULAR SERVICE OUTAGE STRIKES MULTIPLE INDEPENDENT CARRIERS. NEAR-MISS OF CARGO SHIP INVOLVES CHARLESTON BRIDGE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Europe: Various media outlets throughout the region report that Ukraine has reportedly begun to strike targets in Russia with American munitions. AC: No further details are available on the specifics of American munition use, however the gravity of the open admission of such targeting will likely result in Russia enabling similar logistical support for American adversaries in the various other ongoing conflicts around the world.-HomeFront-South Carolina: This afternoon the Ravenel Bridge in Charleston was briefly shut down to cross-traffic due to a cargo ship reportedly losing control of propulsion in the vicinity of the bridge. Local authorities revealed in a press conference this afternoon that a container vessel experienced an issue by which the ships throttle became stuck at nearly maximum speed. As a result of the mechanical issue, the vessel declared an emergency, triggering the shutdown of the bridge. After a few minutes, the crew was able to regain control of the vessel, avoiding a potential collision. Two boaters in small craft were injured due the wake of the vessel causing their boats to run aground on breakwaters at the entrance of the harbor. The vessel remains at anchor a few miles outside Charleston harbor as the USCG investigates the cause of the incident.AC: Due to the obvious apprehension surrounding critical infrastructure around the nation, great scrutiny has been placed on incidents like this, however this situation appears to have concluded without any negative consequences. The vessel officially has not been named as of the draft of this report, but local witnesses strongly indicate the vessel was the M/V MSC MICHIGAN VII.USA: AT&T, Verizon, and US Cellular experienced varying outages throughout the country yesterday evening. At the peak of the service interruptions, around 24 states were reporting issues with cell service on these networks, to include FirstNet systems. Additionally, Consumer Cellular (who's service is provided by AT&T) was also affected by the outage.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: So far, the cause of the nationwide cellular outage is not clear; no statement has been released indicating the root cause of the service interruptions. Unlike the last major AT&T outage, an outage affecting at least three totally separate and independent companies is highly suspect.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//
EPISODE 304 - E. Vernon F. Glenn - Let Life Stick To You, From Lawyer to Author, Share Your StoryE. Vernon F. Glenn is a trial lawyer, crime writer, and founder of Cooper River Books. Knowing he was in it for the long haul while embarking on his writing journey, he decided to create an imprint of his own to carry his work. Cooper River Books came to him while hiking up the iconic LowCountry ‘mountain', the Ravenel Bridge and the views are just some of the best around. A native Tar Heel, Glenn was educated not only at Choate, UNC-Chapel Hill, and Wake Forest University School of Law, but also by digging deep ditches, running a jackhammer, and hauling block and bricks every summer to the tune of starting at 60 cents an hour. Glenn has been a practicing litigator for more than 40 years and adores the courtroom, as well as Southern people. He does not like fakes, frauds, pedants, poseurs, and better-thans. Comfortable in the cocoons of luxury and in the back alleys of slums, he has never started a fight, but has finished plenty. Glenn has scouted and handicapped football and basketball games, has testified before Congress, and has traveled all about. This story has been flailing about in his mind for years, so one day about a year ago, he sat down and began to write it. Like becoming a trial lawyer, it just spontaneously poured out. He thinks there is much more to say. Glenn now lives in Charleston, South Carolina, and too has a perch in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in the beautiful old R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company Headquarters Building. Also, it would be fair to say that he finds his way back to Chapel Hill on a happy and regular basis. He stays busy.https://www.postandcourier.com/moultrie-news/news/lawyer-turned-author-explores-new-career-later-in-life/article_d2c32b2c-8d97-11eb-b788-2f2345f6b960.htmlhttps://www.cooperriverbooks.com/___https://livingthenextchapter.com/A conference where the novelist becomes a podcaster, the motivational speaker dives into influencer marketing, and the charismatic TikTok creator learns the pull of captivating speeches.

On October 21st, 2023, I will be running 100 miles back and forth across the Ravenel Bridge to honor the lives of three amazing people, close to my heart, who are no longer with us physically but always with us in spirit. I am fundraising, in their honor, to provide opportunities to three families who have a loved one battling cancer now.This isn't just a fundraiser; it's a beacon of hope, offering families the opportunity to create joyous memories amid their struggles. But this journey is not just mine; it's ours. I invite you to join me, to be a part of this journey, to make your own impact. Reach out to someone in need, offer your time and support, take action. And remember, even the smallest actions can have a profound impact. Join me on October 21st as I lace up my shoes and hit the pavement for a cause that's close to my heart.
