2022/03/01

Marc Jacksina and I had some good laughs at our own expenses throughout this conversation. We’re both aging white men with faded tattoos that somehow managed to find sobriety and peace around the same time we found trail running and ultramarathons. It seems to be a common theme. However, Marc wears it well! With roots in the punk and hardcore music scene, we talk about the early influences that led us to where we are today. Marc has been a featured chef and appeared on Bravo TV documentaries for his

My guest this week, William “Boxcar” Curry takes one step at a time towards progress and recovery.

This is the DO BIG THINGS podcast, episode 112. My guest this week, Erik Schlimmer, has climbed almost 2,500 mountains. He’s spent over a thousand nights camping in the wilderness.
