Brady Wix is U.S. Army Paratrooper and Ultra Runner. He is also a former college football player and transformed himself from a 340-pound defensive lineman to a 180-pound paratrooper and endurance runner in just a couple of years.

In this episode, Brady and I talk about his transformation story, running 50k ultra-marathons, eating one meal a day, and much more.
