18 May 378: Finishing the Race! – An interview with Ultra-Marathoner & Filmmaker Chris Ward
We’re talking with Chris Ward. He’s an adventurer… podcaster… and now… filmmaker!!! Chris is also a middle school science and leadership teacher in Colorado. He’s also an awesome husband and father to 3 kiddos.
Chris has a fun podcast called, “Like a Bigfoot.” where he interviews inspiring people and adventure athletes on topics like Adventure, Motivation, Mindset, Positivity, Endurance, Health, Perseverance, and Possibility!
Most recently… Chris is the co-director of his very first movie called, “A Long Way From Nowhere.” It’s the powerful story of a 150-mile “Desert Rats” Stage running race in the Utah desert.
He made this incredible film with his friend… and experienced screenwriter/showrunner Paul Scheuring. It’s so powerful… and inspiring… and we’ll add a link in the show notes so you can watch it.
I’m so excited to have this conversation… so let’s get to it!
