Listen "RFP Podcast Episode #223 – Ultra Dad Session #31: Catching Up & A Nugget or 2"
Episode Synopsis
Forgive the delay in getting back to the Ultra Dad Podcast but one of us has moved across the country and we are both navigating life. It is a journey that is sometimes fun, sometimes not ideal, often inconvenient but certainly and opportunity to grow and learn. Having each other, our family’s, and you all to share it with makes it all worth it. Last week we got online and did have a raw, vulnerable, discussion. However, we never did hit record and it was just what we both needed at the right time. Today however, we hit record and spent time catching up, hanging out, and just enjoying each other, and your company. We share some updates, stories, and maybe, just maybe we get a little piece of wisdom from it.
As we head into this long, Memorial Day weekend, we’d like to thank all of you out there for the love and support, and pay tribute to all those heroes we’ve lost, those that continue to fight for our freedom, and the so many that will come later.
We did enjoy some tasty beverages tonight but kept it real simple. Bryan had a traditional, PA Yuengling Lager and Mike enjoyed a PBR Tall Boy.

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.
