In this episode I review from memory the take-away from every guest I had in Season 1. In 32 episodes, I did a deep dive in how people survive the late race urge to quit. And in my opinion, every single episode delievered something I can take going into Zion this week. ---- ⁠Buy some merch⁠ ⁠Run our 50k⁠ on May 11 in Salt Lake City
