Listen "RFP Podcast Episode #198 – Ultra Dad’s Session #9 – Rushing the Holidays"
Episode Synopsis
Due to some inconvenient circumstances we had to push this week’s episode out to a Friday night happy hour. It still worked out great. We pop up on our soap boxes to discuss the immediacy and push for the holiday season (since September) but also enjoy some of the benefits (holiday beer & movie quotes 😊). We dive into some political conversations, slowing things down, the kiddos, not waiting for someday, and as always, moving forward relentlessly.
“As we move forward, we will, we will, become closer!
Yeah – we shared some “rushing the holiday” grievances but we also enjoyed the beers of the season. During the episode, Bryan sipped on some Christmas Ale from Breckenridge Brewery & I enjoyed the long time seasonal favorite, Celebration Ale by Sierra Nevada.
How’d we get here?
The Ultra Dad’s Podcast came from an idea Cindy Shane created. Well, she planted the idea in our head after listening to the first time Bryan was on the RFP Podcast in May 2020. There have many times over the years when we speak on the phone or in person the “we should be recording this” line comes out. Well, here we are jumping in with both feet, like we tend to do, sharing with you our perspectives on life. Let’s be candid – we are not perfect, and we fail often. Our favorite term to use is “it’s not ideal” and there have been countless times we’ve uttered, “a plan is great until you are punched in the face;” – but we do laugh a lot, at ourselves and/or each other mostly 😊. All that said, there are those brief moments where things tend to fall into place and we, somehow, make it to that finish line – as ultrarunners yes, but most importantly has husbands, fathers, friends, and human beings. We wanted to share those imperfections and those incredible moments that we’ve been fortunate enough to experience together over the last 30+ years. So, sit back, grab a cold one, and hopefully this will be another time where things fall into place.
