Last week I attended my second Broker Carrier Summit to speak on a carrier panel regarding issues faced in the trucking industry. It was an honor to share the stage with amazing individuals, and share my message regarding driver health and wellness.

The event is a must for brokers and carriers. You will make the money back over and over again by who you meet there. The list of shoutouts is too long so just check out the episode.

On today's episode I talk about an event that has been a long time coming, an Ironman 70.3 event in Waco, TX. Commonly called "The Middle Distance" a 70.3 is the total distance among a 1.2mi swim, 56mi bike, and a 13.1mi run.

I completed the event in 5:33:39 and was 25th in my age group. There is now no turning back from just seeing how far I can go in an arena I never thought I'd ever be in. Which is why I'm doubling down.

In the episode I talk about my training, where anything not on the bike or in a pool would go down right at OrangeTheory.
