How do you capitalize on your strength of winging it to come out on top? What are the benefits of being as organic in personality as you can? And what does it take to complete something extraordinary? All of this and a whole lot more with Matt B. Davis.
Matt is the owner of Obstacle Racing Media (ORM) and the podcast host of both ORM and Obstacle Discourse with Davis and Chase. In so many ways Matt is the perhaps one of the most famous faces in obstacle racing as he works tirelessly to ensure that he’s getting the best interviews with athletes, race directors, and industry insiders.
In this episode of the podcast, Matt and Dr. L get curious about all things being organic, extraordinary, and real. They explore Matt's recent feat of grabbing a recent fastest known time (FKT) for a 60 mile route, what it takes to win when you wing it, and the power of doing something extraordinary. It's a fun one with lots of laughs! Enjoy!
