| 0:00.0 | Hey, fam, welcome to the free trail podcast for a very special bonus episode. |
| 0:19.6 | What you're about to hear is a live podcast recording |
| 0:22.3 | we did back in May at Boa Technologies headquarters in Denver, Colorado. It was recorded after |
| 0:28.5 | a screening of a new film premiering this weekend. The film is called 26.2 to Life, a documentary |
| 0:34.5 | about the San Quentin Thousand Mile Club, a running group in San Quentin |
| 0:39.0 | State Prison here in Northern California in a program that I was lucky to volunteer for for |
| 0:44.5 | several years, including the years that the film was being shot. My guests on the panel are |
| 0:50.6 | Western States Board President and volunteer coach Diana Fitzpatrick, former |

| 1:29.1 | through October 2nd. It would mean a lot to me to have free trailers support the film by |
| 1:35.9 | attending either in person or by buying tickets to the virtual event and streaming it from |
| 1:41.8 | the comforts of home. There is also a link in the show notes |
| 1:45.0 | to where you can buy virtual tickets. Honestly, this film is deeply and personally really important |
| 1:51.2 | to me. I've seen it five times and I have cried every single time. The group of men featured in the |
| 1:57.0 | film have each served at least a decade in prison. They are my friends and their stories |
