For Episode 71, HPRS Race Director John Lacroix and co-hosts Thomas Stott and Megan Storms reveal an exciting project spearheaded by Tommy. In this episode, we crack open a big idea: the future Human Potential documentary. Not a highlight reel. Not a brag piece. But a raw, honest exploration of what it really means to show up on trails, in all your humanness, and become something more. John shares the deeper vision behind the project and how it connects to our core belief in Human Potential. They discuss a 10-part docuseries unfolding across the 2026 season, from RegFest to finish lines and the messy middle in between, which has now morphed into a feature film. We talk about the "why" behind it: To show the human side of trail adventures, not just the triumphs To explore what people find out there when they're willing to go all in To give outsiders a real answer to "Why would anyone do this?" To help our own community reflect on what their journey means We're starting to gather footage now, and we're looking for folks in the HPRS community who are willing to be part of it. You don't need to be fast. You don't need to be flashy. We're looking for: Grit Vulnerability People who are willing to go deep And your real, natural self on camera If that sounds like you, or someone you know, reach out. This is a story we're telling together . ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-human-potential-running-series-podcast-4507925/episodes/hprs-podcast-episode-71-exploring-a-human-potential-documentary/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-human-potential-running-series-podcast-4507925/hprs-podcast-episode-71-exploring-a-human-potential-documentary.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
