Coree is very inspiring! I listened while running 7 miles, which made me think how easy I have it!
So glad you enjoyed it. Great work on those 7 miles!
Such a good episode. I’m behind but getting caught up. Just finished watching the Eco Challenge as well so I was glad I hadn’t listened to it yet. I wouldn’t have known who Coree was yet. Thanks!
Thanks Tim! I’m glad you’d finished the Eco Challenge episodes so you didn’t get any spoilers 🙂
