A few weeks back the founder of Spartan Race, Joe DeSena, called me. Covid-19 was wrecking havoc with the world of endurance sports and he was hoping to put a coalition of endurance sports leaders together to see if they could combine forces to get some government support for an industry that has been devastated by the Pandemic.

I reached out to Rich Harshbarger at Running USA and Rocky Harris at USA Triathlon to get the ball rolling and things have been moving at warp speed ever since. Joe came on the show to chat about the creation of the Endurance Sports Coalition which represents over 475 organizations, 50,000 events and 30 million Americans. It’s nice to see what can come out of one five minute phone call!

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
