Today's guest, Eagle McMahon, is one of the best disc golfers in the world, having won many of the most important tournaments and brought new attention and life to the sport.

In today's episode, Doug sits down with Eagle to talk life as a professional touring vegan athlete, fueling for tournaments, the growth of disc golf, and how to handle the pressure from the biggest stages in your sport.
