Episode 23: Two Mics, One Scramble: Reflections on Grit & Growth

In this special episode of Endurance State of Mind, it’s just Zach and Anthony behind the mics. The guys swap endurance shoes for golf spikes as they recount their first scramble together in Hattiesburg, where the “student became the teacher” and golf proved to be a surprising mirror for running lessons. From patience and humility on the fairway to battling the “lies” in endurance training, they reflect on recent guest takeaways, Zach’s powerful return to Banff for his 6-year sobriety milestone, and Anthony’s breakthrough workouts. Expect a fun mix of laughs, rapid-fire analogies, and deep reflections on how growth shows up in both sport and life.
