Today's episode I recap some of my time from the Manifest Conference in Las Vegas, why the NFL isn't rigged but still is kinda lame, why AI is boring compared to getting peoples' stories, and why I'm proud to be on the Truck Parking Club team

Full recap of the Austin Marathon which was a 15min PR and 2 hours faster than my first ever Marathon. I go into why I'll continue to live the Go One More philosophy because if I can become a better athlete, eventually I can no longer be ignored.

Aubry is a Professional Truck Driver originally from Jacksonville, FL. She joins the show to tell her story of getting into the trucking industry.

In the episode we dive into topics circumvented around the mental health obstacles truckers face on a daily basis. Maintaining strong mental health over the road is especially difficult as the job itself is one that requires a lot of isolation. Hear her story, and how she pushed through, and what is driving her into building Trucking With Attitude. A brand that can be a community for drivers in whatever help they need
