Listen "RFP Podcast Episode #231 – Ultra Dad Session #39: Going a bit Sideways!"
Episode Synopsis
We went back to the earlier days of the RFP Ultra Dad podcast and skipped the video today. Truth be told, we had some trouble getting the recording to play nice and during the audio recording aliens attacked the Phoenix headquarters. No worries, we made it through with the help of Sigourney Weaver, a children’s movie reference to WALL-E, and two moments of reliving Saturday morning cartoons with Wile E. Coyote and Foghorn Leghorn. Like I said, we went a bit sideways catching up on life, discussing business, and ultrarunning and how both sport, and businesses over the last 18 months have had to pivot and adapt. We dug into technology a bit and how, although it may help in making our lives easier, is it also helping to create a society that is softer? We dipped into concerts, rock and roll, some good bands, and poison ivy. We shared some beverage and some laughs and as always, hope we can provide a smile or two to all of you!
This week we both got back at it with Bryan tipping back some Samuel Adams Wicky Hazy Juicy IPA. Mike finished up the last of his east coast beers, sadly enjoying the remnants of Troegs Perpetual 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.
