RFP Podcast Episode #219 – Ultra Dad Session #28: The Ugly Mugs

Relentless Forward Progress with Mike Ubaldini

We are embracing technology and leveraging the tools to our advantage to bring you Ultra Dad’s face to face. Our audience may wish we were never able to figure this out but with the help of GoToMeeting and getting ourselves a little uncomfortable Ultra Dad’s has gone live with our ugly mugs for you all to see. Our hope is we don’t lose listeners – I guess you can still listen but can also watch us via this link. Will also add it below with the other links moving forward. https://transcripts.gotomeeting.com/?utm_source=recordingReadyNotification&utm_medium=email#/s/ebabc0c5377a323075c37ff509f591dae67fd052121ca13bdb56c7b29ffb91a9 Today’s episode was to be just a dry run to test this out, but we decided to hit record and chose to publish it. There may be a nugget thrown it there, but it was just two Ultra Dad’s catching up on things and telling some stories. We are putting this week’s episode out a day early and over a lunch time beer. Bryan rubbed it in Mike’s face a bit by tipping back Troegs Perpetual IPA while Mike enjoyed the good old Mother Road’s Tower Station.

Well, she planted the idea in our head after listening to the first time Bryan was on the RFP Podcast in May 2020. There have many times over the years when we speak on the phone or in person the “we should be recording this” line comes out. Well, here we are jumping in with both feet, like we tend to do, sharing with you our perspectives on life. Let’s be candid – we are not perfect, and we fail often. Our favorite term to use is “it’s not ideal” and there have been countless times we’ve uttered, “a plan is great until you are punched in the face;” – but we do laugh a lot, at ourselves and/or each other mostly 😊. All that said, there are those brief moments where things tend to fall into place and we, somehow, make it to that finish line – as ultrarunners yes, but most importantly has husbands, fathers, friends, and human beings. We wanted to share those imperfections and those incredible moments that we’ve been fortunate enough to experience together over the last 30+ years. So, sit back, grab a cold one, and hopefully this will be another time where things fall into place. Bryan & Mike
