150 - "I've Always Loved Change" Runners Brittany Charboneau and Jenni Nettik Trust Their Guts

Meet Brittany Charboneau and Jenni Nettik - runners, coaches, dreamers, fun-creators. Brittany is one of the country's newest distance stars, fresh off a win at the 2019 Marine Corps Marathon and gunning for the 2020 Marathon Trials. Jenni is the founder of Mercuria Running, a coaching business that focuses on more than just running - it's about nurturing a passion for the sport without the "at all costs" philosophy of most hard core programs. I don't often interview two people at the same time. It can be awkward, technically difficult and sometimes tough to keep a smooth conversation rolling. This episode is anything but awkward, difficult or tough. It is fun, easy-going, insightful and full of tips (big and small) to help you dig deeper into yourselves. Plus we do a little improv (admittedly slightly awkwardly!) in the middle so that will keep your attention! We cover the following and so much more: Passion and day jobs Life Plan: how Brittany quit her job after her company, Otterbox, helped her create her life plan! Why listening to your gut helps make the most powerful decisions Faith on your journey How training for something often leads to something entirely different: Jenni's career path Combining passions: Art & running (Jenni), Acting & running (Brittany) Mercuria Running: How Jenni & Brittany are creating a whole new philosophy on training and racing For more on these two incredible women, follow them in all the places!
