Journey to 100 FKTs: https://youtu.be/GMg5bMtixPs

I sit down today with the top-ranked fastest known time athlete who first landed his feet on the track before climbing into different mountains. An unusual event pushed him to change his athletic career that also led to his journey to be the first person to have set 100 FKTs. He's a school teacher and sponsored athlete of Athletic Brewing, Jason Hardrath.

We begin talking about how he actually lives his life and what his journey really is as a person. And as a teacher, he tells me what he does and loves the most in this role.

Jason then mentions "roles" in society and how it becomes a societal problem that can make people, who don't know how to integrate with their normal life, feel hollow and empty.

We also discuss things related to athletes' life such as the real value of being an athlete, identity recognition, liminal space, and the "antidote" to post-race and post-adventure blues.

Moreover, Jason shares a meaningful idea about spending time in nature that contributes to making people reconnect with themselves and handle difficult emotions.

There are more amazing things to hear from Jason so watch the full interview and find out his reason why he said, as a teacher, he doesn't teach for school.
