    The one and only Cole Sprout returns to the podcast. The first episode I ever did with Cole was when I had the Flu; so happy to have a conversation with him when I felt normal. Cole is a junior at Stanford University, where he has slowly cemented himself as one of the top runners in the NCAA. Just this indoor season so far, Cole has run 7:43 in the 3k and 13:24 in the 5k. Cole is also a multi-time All-American both on the track and the grass. 


    Today's conversation was wide-ranging and philosophical at times. Cole is an incredibly perspicacious speaker, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this conversation. He recaps his XC season, growing in faith because of it, confidence, culture, and much more. I'm extremely confident that you'll be positively impacted by listening to this conversation! I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did having it.
