| 0:00.0 | Hello, my friends, and welcome to a special episode. Today, I am joined by the freaking champ, |
| 0:07.3 | Jojo Jordan. What a name. I think that's one of the best names in the sport of running at the moment. |
| 0:11.0 | Jojo Jordan. What a name. Joe Joe won MXN in dominant fashion. And I feel like no one talked about |
| 0:16.7 | him going into the race. Very few people, I feel like know his story, know of him. And so when he |
| 0:21.4 | crossed the finish line, I got a bunch of DMs saying get Jojo on the podcast. I want to hear |
| 0:25.6 | his story. I want to hear more about the kid, the underdog, the man of the hour. And so that's |
| 0:30.4 | what we're doing. We're telling the story of Jojo Jordan and his transformational journey from |
| 0:34.7 | I think he plays 13th at NXR last year to winning the whole |
| 0:37.8 | freaking thing. So I love today's conversation. It was awesome to get an inside look at the life, |
| 0:43.2 | the journey of the champ Jojo Jordan. So without further ado, I hope you all enjoy my conversation |
| 0:47.4 | with the man, the mid the legend, the NXN champ, Jojo Jordan. |
| 0:56.6 | Jojo Jordan. Joe Jordan, the champ, Mr. Man of the Hour. How you doing this afternoon? |
| 1:02.0 | Doing great. Doing great. How about you? Doing fantastic. Super excited for this one. |
| 1:06.1 | Anytime an upset happens, my DMs get flooded asking for the person to come on. And you're a super |
| 1:12.2 | unique case because, you know, as you told me a minute ago, you've never really done anything like this. |
| 1:16.2 | So I'm excited to kind of chronicle your journey and hopefully give some inspiration to the next Jojo Jordan in the making out there listening today. I guess first question for you, like a week ago, if I would have talked to you and been like |
| 1:27.9 | you're going to win an XN, would you have believed me? What would the thought have been? |
| 1:32.3 | I mean, I mean, I would have thought it could happen. You know, I'd never had my mindset early in |
| 1:38.8 | the season. I never even thought about winning an XN. Just the goal was just to make it there |
| 1:43.1 | and have a good time. |
| 1:50.7 | And, you know, it was just a surreal experience. And I was just really happy for how it played out. Take me way back in time to early last week. You said you were just excited to be |
| 1:58.2 | there. Just wanted to make the meet. Just wanted to have fun. What was your realistic goal in your mind? |
