Show Notes
NOTE: This was recorded 4/9/26 prior to the G.1.M Ultra
In this episode, I sit down with BPN athlete Jonny Davies 24 hours before the G1M Ultra to talk about ultra running, confidence, self-respect, and the work behind becoming the person you want to be. Jonny shares how running helped him rebuild his relationship with himself, why confidence is earned through action, and how journaling, training, nutrition, and discipline shaped his G1M prep.
We also break down the backyard ultra format, fueling for endurance, the power of community, and why the process matters more than the finish line.

I’m no longer the CEO of BPN.
The way I work in my 30s looks different because of what I did in my 20s.
Nick Saban’s “Importance of Nothing” speech got me thinking about entitlement—what we believe we’re owed and how that mindset shapes the way we work, respond, and live.
Stef joins me again to talk about marriage, faith, family, community, and the season we’re currently walking through.
Over the last 90 days, I lost about 10 pounds and got leaner without crash dieting, starving myself, avoiding social situations, or sacrificing my training and recovery. I did it by locking in - not through extreme restriction, but by narrowing my focus, reducing unnecessary decisions, and giving the process enough time to work.
