Episode Synopsis

Growing up and still today, we probably come across the saying, “listen more than you talk; that is why you have two ears and one mouth.” What about when what you are listening to is your own self-defeating thoughts? Self-doubt, questioning your self-worth, wondering if you are enough – can stop you dead in your tracks! We can get incredibly attached to what we perceive to be our identity and when we are stripped down, what are the thoughts that go through our heads?

How do we combat that? Hit Pause! Step back and breath! Self-assess and create that self-awareness! Maybe just stop listening to yourself and start talking to yourself! These are the topics we dive into tonight during the episode. Don’t worry though, we have some laughs and a potential misunderstanding of what it means to be “sitting in the bathroom” during recording 😊!

Today’s topic was inspired a book we both read called, “The Untethered Soul: A Journey Beyond Yourself.” A great read and wonderful nuggets on how to ask yourself those tough questions.

During today’s recording, Bryan again enjoyed another Bend, OR favorite (one of Mike’s Top 5 breweries), 10 Barrel Brewing Co.’s Joe IPA. Mike reverted to a Fort Collins, CO staple, Odell Brewing Co.’s tried & true IPA.

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.
