In this raw and unfiltered episode Ian and I sit down for a much-needed Honesty Hour—a candid conversation about life, love, parenting, training, and everything in between. From late-night trail runs and house hunting to tattoos, Ironman prep, and how we really keep things spicy, no topic is off limits.
Listeners will hear heartfelt stories about blended family life, navigating past divorces, and the lessons learned in building a healthy, communicative partnership. They also tackle questions from the audience—covering relationship communication, prepping for 20+ mile runs, thoughts on alcohol, and the realities of working and training as a couple.
Whether you’re here for the fun banter, relationship wisdom, or fitness tips, this episode is packed with laughter, honesty, and vulnerability.
