Does running inspire success or are people who are successful drawn to endurance sports? According to an essay he wrote for his fellowship for sports medicine, running is what made Eric Thompson a doctor. It's no surprise that pushing ourselves to extreme limits makes other goals in our life seem reachable. In this episode, Dr. Thompson and I talk about his adventurist past including his time as a wild land firefighter and as a navy hospital corpsman. Listen as we explore the link between success and running through one man's journey to peak personhood.
