What does it truly mean to live adaptive?

In Season 2, Episode 12 of Enduring Minds, host Evan Birch sits down with Scott Davidson, founder of Living Adaptive, adaptive athlete, father, and relentless student of resilience for a conversation that goes far beyond miles and medals.

Scott doesn’t introduce himself by his athletic achievements. He starts with what matters most: being a father. His journey from being born with significant birth defects affecting his face and lower limbs to progressing from 5Ks to 100-mile ultramarathons is rooted in showing his children what it looks like to do your best with what you’ve been given.

This episode explores the Living Adaptive mindset, mental health, bullying and trauma, the Exosym device, and the power of incremental progress in endurance sports. Scott shares why curiosity matters more than ego, why compassion is forged in hard times, and how community fuels long-term resilience.

Living Adaptive isn’t just about adaptive sport.

It’s about meeting reality with courage and choosing growth anyway.

Joy Is The Marathon

Running isn’t just about finish lines. Running is also about who you become along the way.

In this episode of Fireside Chat on Run Tri Bike, I sit down with Ivan Casillas to talk about running, mindset, entrepreneurship, and what it truly means to build an inclusive running community.

Ivan didn’t always identify as a runner. His journey from casual miles to community leader is proof that growth in endurance sports mirrors growth in life and business.

We dig into marathon training mindset, the reality of bonking, runner’s high, and why the training block, not race day, is the real marathon. We also talk about balancing fatherhood, leadership, and ambition while keeping perspective and joy at the center of it all.

We discuss belonging and refusing to gatekeep the sport. The concept of showing up imperfectly and choosing progress over perfection is celebrated.

If you’re an everyday athlete chasing goals, building something meaningful, or learning to call yourself a runner.....press play!

No podium required. Just show up.

What happens when endurance athletes start spelling during a run? 🎧

On this episode of What’s In Your Earbuds?, Joe Hardin and I dive into songs that spell words out in the title or lyrics and why they stick in your brain (and your stride). What started as a simple idea turned into a deep playlist of iconic tracks that live rent-free in our heads.

From classic anthems to hip-hop swagger, we explore how spelled-out lyrics can help create rhythm, cadence, and unexpected motivation for runners, triathletes, and everyday athletes chasing big goals.

We add nearly 20 new songs to our growing running playlist, now pushing 24 hours of workout-ready music. If you’re looking for running motivation, workout music, or a podcast that mixes laughter with endurance sports culture, this episode delivers.

Expect humor, chaos and community.

And then tell us...what songs with spelled lyrics should we add next?
