Hey, everybody, what is up? How is it going? I hope you're having an awesome week. Welcome to the Pillars podcast and another

really great episode that I'm very excited to share with you. Of course, I am your host, Dylan Bowman.

And this week, I am joined by one of the most requested guests in podcast history. And also,

this year's Badwater Champion. That's right, the incredibly inspiring

and impressive Sally McCrae is in the building for her first appearance on the show. We recorded

this episode a couple of weeks ago. And of course, we focused the bulk of our discussion on

Badwater, but we also used that race and Sally's experience there

to talk about more philosophical aspects of our sport,

as you'll hear, even though Sally was victorious,

it didn't come easy, it was far from perfect,

and she does a great job of distilling the lessons that she learned

into words that you all can learn from and get inspired by as well. We talk about the power of

being grateful, of being courageous. We talk about dealing with adversity on the fly during

the course of the race. We talk about Sally's experience with motherhood and how

important it is to share her journey with her children and her family as well. We talk about

chasing our dreams over a long period of time and many, many other things. Sally is so great.

Her energy is infectious. She's so great at storytelling. She's super inspiring.

I think you guys are going to really enjoy this conversation. And before we get to it,

I just want to say a huge thank you from the bottom of my heart to those of you who responded

to my call for support in last week's episode. I received a ton of really cool messages

from many of you,

from people who have taken similar leaps of faith
