Episode Synopsis

This week’s episode is our first crossover episode with the incredible fun and talented Chris Douglas and Chipper Nicodemus of the Löw Tide Böyz, a podcast devoted to the sport of Swimrun. Both Chris and Chipper have been instrumental in helping us get our podcast off the ground and help improve our sound and editing. In this episode we dive into creating community and connection through podcasting and they tell us all about the new-ish sport of Swimrun. If you have ever been out on a run and come to a body of water and thought, maybe I should swim to the next cove and then run some more, this episode and Swimrun is for you!
Some highlights from our conversation:

What makes them such good teammates

Their theories on why the sport is gaining popularity around the world

How fatherhood changed the way they train and race

Why people sometimes mistake them for being in special ops

The origin story of their podcast and how it has helped them create and inclusive community in Swimrun

What it’s like racing when you are tethered to your teammate

The art of niche meme content creation
