The Hello everybody happy holidays and welcome to a brand new episode of the Billy

Yang podcast we are doing a of the

Billy Yang podcast. We are doing a

Call Out Show which we did at some point last year

Where I speak directly to you guys the audience my patron members and the listening audience I put it out there on

social media and this is going to be an open forum whatever you want to discuss

whatever comes to mind let's have chat. It's just another way for me to

continually stay connected with you guys and we needed a show quite can't.

I have just come off a I want to say it was about a three month long project with

Strava my client and the great people at Strava had a great time working on this project.

It was basically a project where we documented, well Strava had a contest where they reached out to their audience to see you know who wanted to run

their first marathon not only just any old marathon it was the New York City

marathon which as of this recording was a little under a month ago.

And when I got the opportunity, they had been a client in the past, but when I got the opportunity to work on this and I also got to run the marathon

Something that's been long on my list. How could I possibly turn it down? But the project itself was an amazing experience.

We at the end of it, we basically ended up picking three people from one candidate was in San Antonio the other one in Cincinnati and one

was actually local here in Los Angeles and these are all first-time marathoners

all with their unique incredible set of stories obstacles that they overcame

and so that is now live if you go to Strava's page on Instagram YouTube and I believe Facebook as well.

So, you know what, I brought this out here for reason.

This is a double dry hopped IPA from the other half brewing company speaking of New York in

Brooklyn. This was given to me by my good buddy Justin Grunwald, the head of Brave Like Gabe Organization.
