Today’s episode is an exciting one because host John Laurito sits down (in person) with an ultra-elite marathoner, mountain biker, and Ironman finisher. Scott Wells talks about how we found his love for running and now a passion for mountain biking. He takes us through one of the most exhausting races he has done and how he managed to finish the race despite the numerous times that he wanted to give up. If you’re interested in running or biking, tune in, and you’ll find this enjoyable.
