Description

Dane Shaw has stacked up IRONMANs, conquered Leadville 100, and paced marathons with ease, but this episode dives deeper. In his first public conversation about a life-long condition, Dane brings the laughs, the heart, and the realest side of what endurance looks like off the course.

He talks mental health, rediscovering meaning, getting married, and the hilarious stories that come with finally embracing all parts of himself. If you've ever felt like the miles were the easy part compared to life, this one’s for you.
