So, what is vert? For all of those in the trail running community, it is short for Vertical Elevation Gain. Basically, it is climbing a mountain, and we have all faced mountains in our lives. This 'vert' may be an upcoming race, or simply getting up the courage to start training for a 5k. Or, this mountain is an obstacle, a burden, a fear that you just want to claw your way up and conquer. These are conversations you will hear about, and I hope they will inspire you to do the impossible and face the impossible with greater hope.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T00:18:07.985210+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/facing-vert-6327711"},"episode":{"title":"089: Inspired By Others-Devon Brodmyer","slug":"089-inspired-by-others-devon-brodmyer","published_at":"2026-06-18T23:39:36+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/facing-vert-6327711/089-inspired-by-others-devon-brodmyer","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/facing-vert-6327711","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/facingvert/episodes/089-Inspired-By-Others-Devon-Brodmyer-e3ku9hg","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/db6f2d50/podcast/play/121627632/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-5-17%2F426341568-44100-2-7c11607dc7f9f.m4a","summary":"What a fun time I had getting to know Devon Brodmyer! A bright young man, just tapping in to the ultra realm, and already finding so much success. A big take away for me through our conversation was the importance of surrounding yourself with those that will encourage you, motivate you, and see more in you than you can see in yourself. His mindset was to learn from those with experience instead of trying to tackle something new on your own. Devon has been running since a very young age and continued running at Brevard College. Through inspiration from his college coach (Jordan Tager), and by soaking in all the knowledge he could from the experience of his friends (Randy Elliott and Sheridan Byers to name a few), Devon love for running reignited out on the trails. After crushing his first ultra at Ridge To Rails last year (where he came in 4th), Devon has been on the podium in every single race since. Most recently, he was 1st overall at the Mount Mitchell Heartbreaker 50 miler. Devon Brodmyer is just getting started.
