Summary

Rebecca Rusch is a legendary endurance athlete, 7x world champion, and protagonist of the Emmy-winning film “Blood Road.” This conversation explores the esoteric intersection of trauma and transformation, sparked by a fateful bike crash on Veterans Day 2021. We discuss her Byzantine journey through the healthcare system, the invisible epidemic of brain injury, psychedelic-assisted therapy, and the profound shift from warrior to healer. In doing so, we examine the universe’s more profound messages—when we’re finally ready to listen. Rebecca’s courage to be this vulnerable in service to others is powerful. Enjoy!

We're brought to you today by Element because, just because it's cold out there right now, doesn't mean hydration isn't still important.

0:09.3

And because contrary to popular belief, hydration isn't just about drinking water.

0:14.1

It's about the perfect ratio of water and electrolytes, which makes sense because both need to be replaced in order to prevent muscle cramps, headaches,

energy dips, and they do it without any added sugar or other BS.

mint, chocolate chai, and chocolate raspberry, which are actually designed to be enjoyed hot or swirled

into your favorite cold weather beverages. I know it sounds a little bit weird, a little

counterintuitive, but I got to say, I've been adding a little chocolate mint to my morning

1:29.7

time of year when we all could use just a little bit more income. And this is where Airbnb comes in.

1:35.5

I love this service. I travel a lot. I've stayed at countless Airbnbs all over the world as a guest.

1:42.1

And I'm going to be doing that again soon while I visit family on the

East Coast. But here's the thing. Have you ever thought about being a host? I mean, one of the reasons

1:49.9

I appreciate Airbnb so much and have been such a loyal customer of theirs for so many years is because

1:55.9

they provide average everyday people like yourselves, the very real and the very practical opportunity to generate
