📍Ultra-endurance athlete Jeff Garmire joins Navy SEAL David Rutherford to break down one of the most insane physical and mental feats ever attempted — a record-setting, unsupported 2,200-mile speed run of the Appalachian Trail in 45 days, 8 hours, and 37 minutes.

Jeff reveals:

  • How he quit a life path that wasn’t his

  • Why depression pushed him into the wilderness

  • What 20 hours a day of problem-solving does to the mind

  • How starvation, sleep deprivation, and hallucinations nearly broke him

  • What the AT teaches about presence, identity, and authenticity

  • Why suffering is the path to true freedom

This episode blends elite performance, mental health, spiritual presence, and raw survival stories — including the day Jeff ran 32 miles with only a handful of peanuts, and how he overcame brutal setbacks to secure the record.

If you’re drawn to endurance, resilience, military mindset, or the search for purpose… this conversation is a masterclass.
