John Rutherford: Being Forced to Nail Down the Craft - Ep 201
Episode number two hundred and one is a discussion with John Rutherford, who grew up bike racing, is now an ultra runner, has served as Chief Foreign Service Officer for the US Department of State, and has flown F/A-18s when he served as a member of the Marine Corps. As such he has a solid understanding of how to negotiate extreme environments in the field of play, and where it counts a bit more.
In our discussion we cover topics including exploring extremes, how ultra events force you to nail down your craft and inevitably reveal challenges, and the normalization of puking that used to be standard in events of 20+ hours.
I hope you find our conversation illuminating in your life adventures.
