Summary
This is the story behind the podcast . . . the community . . . and how Crushing Iron almost didn't happen because of a bad hangover. Mike and Robbie talk about the early days of their athlete/coach relationship all the way through a humble morning in a Nashville coffee shop that laid the groundwork for what would become the Crushing Iron podcast. Alcohol recovery, healthy career changes, and an epic bike ride that changed everything.
Topics:
- The podcast that almost never happened
- The Biker and the Alcoholic
- The epic ride that brought them together
- The drunk summer
- "What's a podcast?"
- The coffee shop morning that laid the groundwork
- The first podcasts
- Awkward camp beginnings
- Parallels between the podcast evolution, triathlon, and life
- Follow your passion
- Don’t waiver
- Don’t care what people think
