Summary

80 minutes of obsessing about running, discussing college, how to get the most out of your life, and so much more!

That's today's podcast.

And there's no better human jam on those subjects with than Mr. Obession himself, Zach Pogrob.

Zach has created next-level content over social media over the past few years and has amassed a following of over 1.4 million followers on Instagram alone. He's one of the best writers I've ever read, and his writings have profoundly impacted my life.

Zach has also recently fallen in love with the sport of running and has thrown himself fully into the fire of seeing how far he can go in this sport. In his first Marathon, on next to no training Zach ran a 3:16:30 Marathon. In his second marathon, Zach ran 2:55:14. He's a beast.

This podcast was one of my all-time favorites. It's just two humans who want more out of their lives having one of those late-night talks about everything on their mindown. You won't want to miss this one. It's special.

If this episode blesses you, please share with a friend!

0:09.7	Let's go. Round two. I'm ready. It's funny because when we talked in January at the end of it, I think we're both fired up, but I was certainly super fired up. And I was like, man, we got to do round two in person. Uh, you texted me last week
0:21.3	saying you'd be in Austin. It coincidentally happened that I was visiting at the same time.
0:25.7	So look at that timing, bro.
0:27.2	Man to be that timing. Um, I want to ask you just to just to start out, uh, a question.

1:34.5	And I'm like, are you sure?
1:37.2	He's like, he's like, yes.
1:39.4	And I had the idea of running, I thought it would be cool to run from sunset to sunrise in New York, which is like nine hours.
1:47.9	So the plan was time, not even distance?
