Summary
Why do you run? In most cases, people talk about the HOW or the WHAT to try and explain this. When it comes down to it, we need to have a well understood WHY before we can successfully change our behaviors.
Over 5 years ago, we read a life-changing book by Simon Sinek, "Start With Why, How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action". Although this book can be related to many aspects of your life, we take it to the trail to see how it will fare. We talk about the biology (not the phycology) of the power of the WHY and how fun it is to discover why other people run.
Get a jump start on the subject by watching this Ted talk (viewed over 34,000,000 times) by Simon Sinek.

| 0:00.0 | L-E-K-I-All-In-Caps. Very important, Scott. Oh, I thought you were talking about running |
| 0:12.8 | around a lake. No, Lake E-Poles. My goodness. Where have you been? |
| 0:18.4 | We launched our Lake E-Pole promotion with the Nation last week at last week's podcast, |
| 0:24.6 | which is 20% off your purchase of Lake E-Poles if you go through our partners page. But today, |
| 0:30.7 | we're going to talk about one of the features, or actually it's a small package of features, |
| 0:35.4 | and that's the grip. Because not just a pole with a piece of string around it. The grip |
| 0:40.8 | has been engineered. It's free, man. There's cork on it, and it fits the hand. |
| 0:45.4 | Why do you want cork? Well, here's the problem with poles that don't have cork. What's that? |
| 0:49.7 | They end up slippery. They end up... Because your hand's sweat. Yeah. And of course. But the cork |
| 0:54.8 | just absorbs everything and stays with you regardless of whether it's five miles or 50 miles or |
| 1:00.0 | further. If you want high-quality trekking poles, you want to have a cork handle. It doesn't |
| 1:06.4 | stop at the cork handle, though, Scott. It has the trigger shark technology, which is a glove with a |
| 1:11.3 | small ring on it that you clip into and you're attached to the pole. So cork and trigger shark, |
| 1:18.1 | man, you've got yourself a set of poles. It makes the pole swing very natural. You notice that. |
| 1:24.8 | Yep. So to get 20% off, go to the partners page at TrailRunnerNation. Click on the link, |
| 1:31.4 | and you can get 20% off. The ones that we have been using that we highly recommend are the |
| 1:35.4 | Micro Trail Pro. They're a standard height that fixed length pole, but they are awesome. |
| 1:43.6 | HealthFightQ, life insurance at reasonable rates for health-conscious people. More than |
| 1:50.3 | reasonable, Scott, just fantastic rates. With from A-rated insurance companies. Today's HealthFightQ |
| 1:57.2 | quiz is things to know when the weather blows. Well, winter time is approaching. In the northern |
| 2:05.7 | hemisphere anyway. And so let's see how I do. Three questions. Okay, three questions. When running |
| 2:12.8 | for a long day or overnight in the fall, make sure to research A, nighttime temperature. The B, |
