And the results are pretty obvious.

Both the Facebook group and the email group provide opportunities that can’t be found anywhere else.
The Facebook group is still small, but it is a great way to connect with fellow runners and foster community amongst like minded individuals. The email group is THE way to stay up to date about future guests on the show, as well as getting some other freebies and offers that aren’t available to anyone else.
If you’ve got questions about either/both, just let me know!
Gary mentioned he came to a point in his life that he considered his breaking point. The point in time where he just had enough of his life the way it was and needed to change. That point is powerful. They call that hitting your bottom in AA (alcoholics anonymous) and other 12 step programs. I think when people have really had enough, they are willing to do anything to make a change. Loved this podcast! Gary is an awesome inspiration to all!
Totally agree!
