Dom is doing remarkable things in his mid-twenties. Less than 6 months ago Dom was out running with some friends and went in to cardiac arrest at age 24. His work ethic and belief in big goals has been notable ever since we met... and he's taking on his next big feat in a matter of weeks to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro just 6 months after this near death experience. We talk about content creation, podcasting, consistency, mindset and health. A very worthwhile listen filled with inspiration and action.

Ashely Spencer is an Olympic Medalist in Track & Field for Team USA, currently in training in Texas for the next Games. I refer to us together as a "literal comedy show" because our day to day chats feel like one. In today's episode we go deep. We discuss racism. Ashley is a black woman and she had a recent experience with bigotry that we get in to. I admire and respect Ashley... and I think you will too. We also talk fashion, sports, what growing up was like and more.

Thank you for listening <3
