Bringers of Life

Episode 15 – Bringers of Life In a twist, Pete opens the show with a tale about the pet in his house – a Betta fish. They know you’ll miss Tater tales, but this is a good story. The guys thoroughly walk through the last week and a half of training. Kevin got in a lot more workouts. Pete gets into way too many details. Great momentum for both of them!

Episode 14 – Do You Trust Your Training? The guys start the episode with the usual weekly training recap. Kevin’s summary of what Tater finds to eat on walks is the real fun. Pete asks Kevin if he has ever felt like there is enough training going into an event. That leads to a long discussion on how to trust your training. Finally, Kevin confesses to being a sucker for all things patio related. So, if you are in the business of selling grills, smokers, patio furniture, fire pits, etc., this is

Episode 2 – A Run, a Hike, a COVID Fight Yes, the episode is late. Is there a good excuse? Sure, if Pete having COVID counts. The good news is he did get in one good hike in AZ. But while he was wasting time in Scottsdale trying to recover, Kevin was out there racing and doing home improvements. For those that asked for #moreKevin #lessPete, you are in luck!
