Summary
In this revisited episode, Mason visits with Becca Boylan, a fifth generation Montanan who completed a 475 miles run across her home state to share the story of her mother's fight against Acute Myeloid Leukemia. The inspiration for the run came after Becca's experience helping her mother fight the disease for the past year and using running as a way to "metabolize" the emotions she was going through.
Through the metaphor of running, Becca, the oldest of six kids, hoped to show others that we are capable of far more than we think possible and we hold the strength we need to face any of life's challenges, whether it's a cancer diagnosis or a mountain marathon.

| 0:16.0 | And I think I took some of that with me into adulthood. |
| 0:19.0 | And so this Montana run idea was like, I'm from Montana. |
| 0:22.8 | My parents are from Montana. |
| 0:25.0 | And I need a way to, you know, share that love for the state that I grew up and that's |
| 0:32.3 | changing and share running with people that have been affected by cancer. |

| 1:23.6 | If you've been listening to the show for a while, you probably know that I have a book out, |
| 1:29.3 | and the book is called 99 Words, Building a Better Life. |
| 1:33.1 | I wrote it to serve as a toolkit to help people to sort out solid belief systems that they |
| 1:39.7 | can build a life on, and it's a lot less about what to believe, a lot more about how to sort it out. What |
| 1:45.9 | matters to you and what is truth and that sort of thing? I bring it up because in way of letting |
| 1:51.7 | people know that the book exists, I've been interviewing on other podcasts as a guest. And I was |
