A he's been on the show before we had a nice long run episode where he was preparing to run across Canada and he didn't succeed and then went back again and got it done recently I think last year, and he wrote a book about it.

And it was a really interesting book.

There's a lot of things that, a lot of takeaways from it that I learned from.

0:31.4

fastest runs in history. And Canada is really big. I don't know if you, before you listen to this,

1:36.0

And that's kind of a good guide to me as to what the interest level is and whether I'm speaking to the wilderness or whether I'm speaking to a lot of people

1:44.4

that want me to keep doing it.

1:45.6

So if you haven't, you know, a dollar a month, it's not a lot of money.
