Yeah, not in that way, but more about his partnership with a CBD brand offering running supplements. This is the second time Dean has appeared on the podcast and he's always a great guest. He also takes the time to talk about his relationship with Spartan as they move into the ultrarunning space as well as his clothing preference when he's indoors.
