Julia Vitarello - One of our most powerful interviews...

The Extra Mile - The Official Charity Miles Podcast ·

2019/07/17

Today’s interview is with a guest I’ve previously had on the Extra Mile, Julia Vitarello. If you haven’t heard that episode, I urge you to. It is one of the most moving episodes I have ever recorded. In that episode, which was around two years ago, Julia told us the story of her daughter Mila, who at age 6 was diagnosed with an extremely rare and currently incurable neurodegenerative disease called Batten Disease. At the time, Julia was embarking on funding a very expensive clinical trial to try to

Sally Bergesen, Founder & CEO of Oiselle - Run Love Wins

The Extra Mile - The Official Charity Miles Podcast ·

2019/06/28

Today on the Extra Mile I'm thrilled to share an interview I did with someone who I've admired for a very long time, Founder and CEO of Oiselle, Sally Bergesen. Oiselle is is a Seattle-based by women, for women athletic apparel company. They have some things for men, too, and I love my Oiselle t-shirt and hat. But more importantly, they are a brand, and Sally is an entrepreneur that I truly look up to. Oiselle's mission is three-fold: make a great product, improve the sport, and build the

Emelise Munoz, 13 Year-Old Rockstar

The Extra Mile - The Official Charity Miles Podcast ·

2019/06/21

I could not be more excited for today's podcast. It's not an interview, but rather a musical performance by Emelise Munoz, a 13 year-old rockstar! I first met Emelise last year, when she was just 12, busking at the GoPro Mountain Games in Vail Colorado. (You may remember her from the podcast we recorded with Playing For Change last year.) So when our awesome partners TIAA Bank invited me back out this year, I emailed Emelise to see if she'd be performing again. I'm so psyched that she said yes,

2019/05/24

I am so excited to share today's interview with Lacey Henderson. At 9 years old Lacey had to have her leg amputated above the knee due to a rare soft-tissue tumor in her knee. It did not stop her. She continued to play soccer as a child, was a cheerleader in college, and eventually went on to compete in track and field, specifically the pole vault and long jump. She now competes for the US Paralympics team in the long jump. Her incredible strength, both physical and mental, is evident, as is her

Barefoot Jake - No Shoes, No Problem

The Extra Mile - The Official Charity Miles Podcast ·

2019/05/17

On today's episode, I'm so excited to share my interview with my good friend Barefoot Jake Brown. Yes, he's gotten that name because he does not wear shoes. He's done some truly unbelievable things. He was the first person to run across the United States, he ran from Mexico to Canada, and he has completed 200-mile races- ALL barefoot. He's also one of the first 100 members of Charity Miles. We conducted our interview on a walk through beautiful Central Park in New York City where you can almost

2019/05/03

Today on the Extra Mile podcast I bring you the final interview in our three-part Boston series. Today I join the acclaimed Dr. Jordan Metzl on a run by the Charles River. Funny enough, Jordan lives in New York but it took us both going to Boston to finally get the interview that I've been wanting for a long time. Jordan is a nationally recognized sports medicine physician, best selling author, and fitness instructor who practices at one of the top hospitals in the country, Hospital for Special

2019/04/26

Today we have the second of three podcasts that I recorded when I was up in Boston last week for the Boston Marathon. In this episode, I walk with Tina Muir, a “former” elite runner who has one of the most popular running podcasts called Running for Real. Tina had taken some time off from running to start a family and the Boston Marathon was her first marathon back. And, get this, she still ran under 3! Tina’s honesty in this episode is really special, so a big thank you to her for taking some time

Kathrine Switzer- 261 Fearless: Tell Her She Can!

The Extra Mile - The Official Charity Miles Podcast ·

2019/04/19

Today's episode takes place in Boston, just three days before the Boston Marathon, with a LEGEND, Kathrine Switzer who, in 1967, became the first woman to run the Boston Marathon as an official registered participant. Many of us know the iconic photo of the moment where the race director Jock Semple saw Kathrine running and tried to knock her off the course and steal her number. It is a picture that not only broke barriers but changed women's history, sport's history, and, frankly, the world

The Extra Mile - The Official Charity Miles Podcast ·

2019/04/12

Bob is an Ironman legend, founder of Competitor Magazine and founder of the Challenged Athletes Foundation. He's also an epic storyteller and I'm sure you'll love the stories he shares here. I recorded this interview with Bob in 2017 at the Boston Marathon. It somehow got erased so I'm re-releasing it again now because it's a classic. #EveryMileMatters challengedathletes.org charitymiles.org/optishokz

Habitat for Humanity - Hands Up and Hands On!

2019/04/05

This week I wanted to share with you my recent experience as a volunteer builder with Habitat for Humanity in Atlanta, GA. Aside from having a wonderful time, I took this opportunity to chat with some of the incredible people involved with this amazing organization, starting with the amazing the soon-to-be "homeowner," Krushetta Holt. Krushetta's vision for her home goes beyond simply having a house. Sure, she has an idea of where her bed will be in the master bedroom. But what she really envisions

Des Linden - Keep Showing Up!

The Extra Mile - The Official Charity Miles Podcast ·

2019/03/30

Des Linden is the first American woman in 33 years to win the Boston Marathon. She’s also an awesome example of what can happen when you do things in service of others. We recorded this episode in Boston, MA., 24 days and 16hrs before the 2019 Boston Marathon. You’ll hear the hustle and bustle of Boylston Street as we make our way down that famous home stretch of the race. Des’ fascinating story goes back to 2011 where she came in second place (by only two seconds!) in a race she thought was hers

Charlie Engle - From Low to High

The Extra Mile - The Official Charity Miles Podcast ·

2019/03/03

Today's interview is with Charlie Engle at the Spartan World Championships in Lake Tahoe, California. Charlie is one of the greatest endurance athletes of all time, perhaps best known for when he ran across the Sahara Desert. There's a great documentary on it on iTunes if you want to check it out. But he's also faced and overcome a lot of obstacles in his life, including alcoholism, drug addiction and, even after he beat that, some time in jail. These are REAL life obstacles. Not the types of

Bubba Wallace - What Drives You?

2019/02/15

Bubba Wallace definitely goes the Extra Mile... in about 18 seconds. He's one of the top NASCAR drivers in the NASCAR Cup Series, making his living at 200 mph! Bubba gets a lot of attention for being the only African American NASCAR Driver. But he'd rather be defined by his racing than his race. Last year, Bubba kicked off his rookie season by finishing in 2nd place at the Daytona 500-- one of the premier sporting events in the world. This weekend, Bubba is headed back to Daytona to see if he can

Terence Gerchberg is the Executive Director of the New York City Chapter of Back on My Feet, an incredible organization that combats homelessness and addiction through the power of running, community support and essential employment and housing resources. Plus, he's an amazing all-around person. I recorded this podcast with Terence on the Thursday before he was about to run his 16th consecutive New York City Marathon.

Shadrack Biwott is not just one of the most elite marathoners in the world; he is also an incredible person. Shadrack was born and raised in Kenya. He ran barefoot for most of his life, until he received his first pair of running shoes as a gift from his older brothers. Since then, Shadrack immigrated to the US where he was one of the top collegiate runners at the University of Oregon. He now races for Team USA and the esteemed Hansons-Brooks team, as one of the top marathoners in the world. He

2018/11/02

Meet Bill Bucklew, a longtime friend, Charity Miler extraordinaire and Team Fox All Star. Bill was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2012. But he has become another datapoint in my theory that Parkinson's Disease is a disease that makes you walk and run really, really far. Last November, the day after Thanksgiving, Bill stood in Tybee, Georgia with his hands in the Atlantic Ocean. Just 67 days later, he stood in San Diego, California, with his hands in the Pacific Ocean. How did he get from

I was invited out by Spartan founder, Joe De Sena to participate in their Spartan PodFest, where I interviewed a bunch of really cool people for our podcast.

In this episode, I march with Noah Barnes, and his father Robert. Noah is 11 years old. He has Type 1 Diabetes. And he is marching diagonally across the United States from the southern tip of Key West, Florida to the most northwest tip of Washington State. No joke! This episode is in two parts: the first part was recorded in April when I marched with Noah outside of Nashville, Tennessee; the second part is from this week when I marched with him again as they approached Denver, Colorado.
