Welcome to episode three of Hurtle. Today's episode is brought to you by my sponsor, Ultra

Shoes. I tried on my first pair of Ultras about four years ago now, and I immediately noticed a

difference in the forefoot compared to other brands I'd been wearing. You see, Ultra designs their

shoes with a wider toe box, which really allows your toes to relax and spread out naturally.

And that might be just the upgrade you need for your next run.

I definitely encourage you to check them out.

Again, that's Ultra A-L-T-R-A shoes.

If you're just joining me at home, my name is Emily Abadi, your lovely host.

I am a certified trainer, run coach, also a writer, editor, and now podcaster, living here in

New York City, feel free to check me out on social at Emily Abadi.

That's A-B-B-B-A-T-E.

Now, a little bit about hurdle, which you can find also on social media at Hurtle podcast.

Hurtle is a bi-weekly podcast that showcases people who got to a tough time in their life,

a hurdle of sorts, and leaned into wellness to get over it.

In this modern world we live in, filled with anxiety and pressure and

obscene amounts of competition, wellness in all of its forms is an outlet. And that can look

like a lot of things, right? It can maybe mean starting a new fitness routine, trying running

or yoga. Maybe it's adopting a new way of eating and becoming plant-based,

mindfulness and meditations, crystals. The list goes on. You get the gist. Hurtle brings you

their stories, the lessons they learned, and hopefully gives you the push you need to live a

healthier, happier, more motivated life.

Today on Hurtle, we have Fred Santarpia, the chief digital officer of Conday Nass.
