On this episode of the Do Epic Shit Today Podcast, I chat with none other than the super inspiring, admirable, and epic Nick Butter. Nick has run 196 marathons in 196 countries (meaning all of the countries in the entire globe), is an author of 3+ books, ran the perimeter of the U.K, started his own foundation - The 196 Foundation, and is also an entrepreneur of his own company Run Weekends. Nick takes us through the mindset switch that occurred shortly after finishing Marathon des Sables which has led him to become the man he is today, the courage and dedication to create massive goals, and how to never let a dream simply slip away. Nick reminds us that we get ONE life and it’s up to us to choose how we want to live it.

In this episode of the Do Epic Shit Today Podcast, I reflect on two crucial components I learned in 2024: maintaining balance and navigating perspective. Personally, 2024 was one of the best years of my life, but it was also one of the hardest. After taking a couple of weeks off from rigorous training, I realized how my commitment to accomplishing a goal had become an obsession—one that no longer brought me the joy it once did. I had thrown myself so deeply into my goals that I lost myself in the process.

By applying some personal "gauges" to my life and practicing gratitude, I’ve been able to find balance between my passions—running, podcasting, and other pursuits. My hope is to share some of my "growth opportunities" from 2024, as they may help others tackle their goals in a more sustainable manner.

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in a rut, has lost their spark, or needs reassurance that they are worth living a life they enjoy!

In this episode of the Do Epic Shit Today Podcast, I chat with Mike Lee, a fellow runner whose love and passion for cinematography inspired him to launch his own production company, Mike Lee Productions. Mike and I chat about the multiple crossovers and interconnectivity between running and starting a business, the edge he’s able to provide by being an athlete and shooting content for brands in the athletic space, and a few of his upcoming goals and future dream projects.

Mike and I also chat specifically about some of his upcoming races - one of them being the Tokyo Marathon in March of next year plus the potential to also run the Sydney Marathon in August 2026!

This episode is EPIC if you’re looking for a spark to reignite that entrepreneur mindset or sign up for a race.

On this episode of the Do Epic Shit Today Podcast, I chat with the determined and humorous individual, Leon Bustin. I reached out to Leon to chat about his newly released documentary titled, End to End, which showcases Leon’s journey of running the length of the UK in under 14 days - an incredible feat given that the distance is 1347 kilometers (836 miles). Side Note: in order to accomplish this challenge, Leon needed to run AT LEAST 100K per day.

We also discuss some of the mental tuberlances that occur when taking on a challenge as vast as this, the obstacles Leon had to overcome and the pain he had to endure - physically, emotionally and mentally.

We also chat and discuss his life in Costa Rica with two amazing kids and epic wife, his previous Ultra races and more.

Listen in and enjoy!

On this episode of the Do Epic Shit Today Podcast, I chat with Rob Dalto, a rad human who just concluded his 2024 journey of finishing all Abbott World Marathon Majors (and yes he also completed Sydney Marathon for bonus points) with the goal of finishing all marathon majors in under 3 hours. For those who aren’t aware, the six Abbott World Majors are; Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, and New York City, and with the new addition of the Sydney Marathon (announcement was made late in 2024) which now brings the total to now seven.

Rob and I chat about setting lofty goals and the impact it can have on your potential even if you fall short; Rob was able to accomplish a sub 3 hour marathon time for 5/7 of the world majors.

We also discuss the Bronx Burners, giving back to causes bigger than our own, the power of human connection, where Rob came up with the concept of making his own gels for fuel (rather than buying the expensive options on the market), his recovery plans for the remainder of 2024 and more.

When I asked Rob what his biggest takeaway was for folks listening to the episode he stated that it was to never forget or dismiss our human potential; “set and go for the goal even if it is scary”.

Listen in and get inspired.
