In this week's Third Quarter Badass Debrief, Scott and Meg revisit their conversation with Allison and explore the lessons that stuck with them long after the microphones were turned off.

From Allison's almost instinctive love of running to her extraordinary response to a life-altering injury, the conversation explores how optimism, perseverance, and a willingness to pivot can transform even the most difficult circumstances.

In this episode:

• Why some people are simply born to run (and why others aren't).
• Finding your athletic niche, even if you're not the fastest person in the race.
• The role of optimism in recovery and rebuilding after serious injury.
• How small victories can eventually lead to extraordinary achievements.
• The Tevis Cup: a grueling 100-mile equestrian endurance race that has Scott contemplating yet another questionable athletic decision.
• Meg's surprise OCR registration for Scott — apparently without his permission or her participation.

Along the way, Scott and Meg reflect on their own athletic journeys, share a few laughs, and return to Allison's powerful message:

It's never too late. Too late to start. Too late to recover. Too late to reinvent yourself. Or too late to discover an entirely new challenge.
