Bryon Powell - Former attorney turns his passion into profession impacting the worldwide ultra running community like nobody else

It´s been another great episode of my podcast, filled with so
many insights on entrepreneuership and persisting on the journey
to turning passion into profession. Bryon Powell, former attorney
in Washington D.C. quit his stable 9-5 to go on a quest to
dedicate his time, energy and money to serving the fast-growing
community of ultra marathoners worldwide. He´s a writer, author
of two books, competitive ultra marathoner with over 65 races
under his belt with the 400 kilometre Gobi Ultra Trail Race being
one of his greatest achievements and founder of the highly
popular online platform irunfar.com, the world´s biggest and most
respected ultra running community to this day.


It´s a conversation about patience and persistence, ongoing
motivation, focusing on the bigger vision and how to deal with
obstacles on the path.


Full of surprises („I never had a plan“), laughter, humour,
warm-heartedness and generosity getting down to the core why he
wouldn´t stop to continue what he does, Bryon explains what
impact his work continues to have on his life, his community and
the relationship with his partner and accomplished ultra runner
Meghan Hicks.


He openly talks about the defining moments of being on the verge
of quitting and what can keep you going during the tough times.
He´s super uncomplicated, funny, open and relaxed offering a
relaxed approach to nutrition (another surprise). An example of
somebody who´s not chasing for the big bucks and looking for his
own benefit but serving his greater purpose. 


No doubt, he´s achieved this over the almost last decade. I´m
delighted and super grateful that Bryon took two hours of his
time before he signed off to head out for a 50 k training run.
That´s right. Things shift when you begin to crave running longer
distances and 50 k becomes an easy thing to tackle. Enjoy the
episode and share what you think and took away.
