## Resource

In this episode, Joe sits down with Jonathan Levitt to talk about what it looks like to take a real risk, trust the work you’ve already put in, and build something meaningful within the running world. They dive into how running can shape the way you approach uncertainty, why community matters so much in endurance sports, and how the sport can open doors to bigger opportunities both on and off the trail. While parts of this conversation touch on the business side of running media, the heart of the episode is about identity, courage, community, and creating a life that feels aligned with what you really want. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why Taking Big Risks Often Starts With Learning To Trust Yourself First How Running Can Teach You To Step Into The Unknown With More Confidence What It Looks Like To Build Real Community Through Endurance Sports Why Being “Adventure Ready” Can Change The Way You Train And Live How The Running World Creates Opportunities Far Beyond Just Racing Fast Why Authenticity Matters So Much In The Endurance Space How To Think About Growth, Alignment, and Building Something That Actually Lasts SHOW LINKS: Want to work with me to crush your next ultramarathon in our group coaching program?
