Casey and I delve into the world of our many, many hobbies.  Casey's definition of a hobby is that it has to cost you money, it might be a bit irresponsible, it should be fun, you should enjoy doing it, but that doesn't mean that you're good at it.  Another important factor is the ability to fail.  I couldn't agree more.  I discuss keeping a picture that I painted that's just horrible.  I keep it because I wanted to prove to myself as a visual reminder that you can do things that you're not good at, you can do things that you don't like. It's still a reminder that you lived, and that's something; that's really my why of doing some of these things. I can't stand the competition of people, or the comparison of other people.  I'm not competitive. I know people say I am, but I'm really not. Deep down, I'm really not competitive at all.  I do think that at times, there's nothing wrong with saying I went to go do this hobby with my friends, I was terrible at it, had a good time, this looks awful, but I'm still go

Hannah Courtney, a plus‑size runner and book lover whose Instagram Reel about progressing from a 20‑minute mile to a 17‑minute mile unexpectedly went viral.  Our conversation was a deep, honest exploration of running, body confidence, training, gear, community, and personal growth.   Hannah began walking in June and running in July of this year, starting with 26–28 minute miles and only 30‑second run intervals.  She has lost weight with the help of a GLP‑1 medication, improved mobility, and consistent movement.  Her viral Reel showed her pace progression, which resonated with many plus‑size runners who rarely see themselves represented.   Hannah and I discussed how we'll train more intentionally, focusing on our endurance, and pacing.  I mentioned how important strength training is for ladies in general and to support running and prevent injury.  We both commented on the importance of properly fitted running shoes, often 1–2 sizes larger, to prevent pain and toenail issues.   We both emphasized the i

Kayla and I were both on a social media thread revolving around a young girl's safety running at night.  From there, we've shared unsettling childhood encounters with potential kidnappers and how those moments shaped our instincts and caution as adults.  Trust your intuition, balance safety with enjoying the outdoors and the reality of threats that we as women face.  Kayla began podcasting because she loves deep‑diving into stories — something her friends didn't always want to do. Her show started as a collaborative effort with friends but evolved into a solo project. Her fiancé, Sam, supports her with the technical side.   Kayla explains that Tragedy with a View blends her love of the outdoors with her fascination for true stories of natural disasters, accidents, and occasionally true crime. She aims to honor victims by keeping their stories alive while exploring how nature can be both beautiful and dangerous.  Kayla also runs a powerful series called Girl Gone Running, which highlights cases of women mur

Suffering is a gift.  Suffering changed every part of Troy’s life.  The gift is how you work through the change to mold and change who you are.  Ultras push Troy up against a limit and nothing is a given.  It’s important that everyone experiences something really difficult and doing hard things is where real growth happens.   Proud farther, husband, ultra endurance runner and commentator’s motto is “I don’t know a stranger.”  - Troy Meadows   Troy was blessed to travel the world before he was 18 years old and a self-proclaimed vagabond in his 20s. Ultralight backpacking was where Troy picked back up his love for the remote outdoors.  Troy would pull out a map, would circle an area to let his girlfriend, now wife, know a radius of where he’d be and let her know the time frame.   Troy ran cross country in high school, gave up running for a bit and then picked it back up in his 30s after a couple of traumatic events.  Since Troy had experience in backpacking coupled with his love for nature, ultra endurance even

How do we stay on track when something gets us off course.  Writing out tasks or chunking up the work into smaller pieces has helped get the big task done.  I've been resetting quite a bit lately and that too seems to help with expectations.  

Kim started her athleticism as a four-year-old.  Kim has played several sports through her school years and hated running.  Ironically, Kim now is an ultra-runner.  Currently, Kim is a register dietician, RRCA Road Running Coach, Precision Nutrition Level 1 Nutrition Coach and a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer.  Kim had great ideas to get past the ‘guilt’ of the holidays.  Bring a dish to pass that you know that you’ll like and it’s healthy.  Keep hydrated, take small bites of the foods that you want to try.  Also, Kim reminds us to eat a normal breakfast, and the other meals can be a fun meal.  One meal isn’t going to make or break our weight loss or performance journey.  Kim does recommend limiting alcohol as there are empty calories, our bodies don’t like digesting alcohol and it’s not useful for us.    Going into 2025, what can your non-pro athlete do to help get through the year.  Staying hydrated is number one.  Starting your day with water is start.  Protein is also at the top of this list.  Many people need

Dare to dream.  Why does Frankie do hard things?  It’s the view from the top and what you can learn about yourself in the process.  In 2015 Frankie was camping in Colorado and noticed that people were hiking on the Colorado Trail with lots of stuff on their backs.  Once Frankie got home, she researched and watched movies which led into two years of training including about 800 miles on the Ice Age Trail in Wisconsin, then moved to the Colorado Trail in 2017.  Frankie lives and works in three different states.  How does she keep her routine?  Frankie plans out for her trips and packs an extra bag with supplements, bands, her yoga mat, extra shoes and a weighted vest.  She also keeps an extra set in Colorado and has a gym membership that she can use in different areas.  Training is important to Frankie so she makes it a priority.  You can follow Frankie at: Instagram – frankie_averill Facebook – Frankie Dawn Averill   You can follow the I Can Do Anything Podcast at: Email me at – icandoanythingpod@gmail.com Wat

Do all of the right stuff first – Derek Toshner Derek started rock climbing in college because he needed a one credit class.  After selling a large business and tragically losing a business, Derek submersed himself into climbing as a way to escape reality.  No matter how many times Derek has climbed, he learns something new every time.    Derek wasn’t athletic as a kid, picture skinny and dorky.  In high school Derek said that he wanted to do hurdles and a Senior stated that he sucked at hurdles.  Derek wanted to prove his self-worth and started to exercise.  The determination that Derek had paid off.  Derek is a 5x NCAA national champion in track and field (3x 400m hurdles and 2x 4x400m relay) and competed at the USA World and Olympic Team Trials from '03 to '05. He has held his high school and university school records in hurdles for 20+ years and was inducted into their Halls of Fame.  Derek is a StrongFirst Certified Master Instructor and the Co-Founder, with his brother Ryan, of TNT Fitness Results.

A six-month job trial has turned into 23 years.  Graphic designer and waitress turned business owner, Fox Vending has been in business for 62 years and Jennifer has been a part of it for 23 years.  From selling cigarettes from a vending machine, Jennifer has evolved with a grab and go self-checkout approach which is a more recent concept in vending.
