Analysis
Jocko Willink and Rich Roll pose together outdoors wearing identical white hats that feature a skull and the word 'SMILE'. Jocko has a wide, toothy grin while Rich Roll smiles subtly in a bright orange jacket. The background is a soft, blurred green forest that keeps the focus entirely on the two personalities.

The one and only Andy Glaze, arguably the most inspiring ultra endurance athlete in the world. How long is your 100 mile a week running streak been going on at this point? 320 weeks. So, you're the smiling ultrarunner guy. But honestly, to me, there's so much more to your story. It's about two things in my opinion. It's about the space between falling down and getting back up. And second, how physical movement is a catalyst for emotional healing.
