From international male model to a professional ultrarunner: Michele Graglia seemingly had it all. A glitzy lifestyle of modeling, surrounded by beautiful people, drugs and alcohol...until one day coming to the realization that he was empty inside lacking purpose and connection. After discovering Dean Karnazes' book "Ultramarathon Man", Michele finally found his purpose in the world, running 100+ mile events from the Yukon to Death Valley. Listen as he shares his very unique journey from his humble beginnings in Italy to becoming a highly sought after model to now running long distances all over the world.
