Take Off Your Shoes: Ryan Montgomery

<p><strong>Happy New Year everyone! Welcome to a new epsiode of Take Off Your Shoes with my guest today: Ryan Montgomery!</strong></p><p><br></p><p>This was a very open conversation with Ryan, where we touched not only on where he is now and what he’s currently focusing his energy on, but also on what drives him and what’s next for him.</p><p><br></p><p>I intended this conversation to be a deeper dive into who Ryan is, building on the wonderful conversations he’s already had with some amazing podcasters.</p><p><br></p><p>I truly enjoy conversations where there isn’t a predetermined roadmap, but rather an intention to be open and, where possible, vulnerable. I appreciate Ryan for allowing us to do exactly that.</p><p><br></p><p>I hope you enjoy listening!</p><p><br></p><p>Make sure to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/takeoffyourshoes.pod/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">DM me your thoughts on Instagram</a></p><p>Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ultra.ryan/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Ryan</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/out_trails/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Out Trails</a> on Instagram</p><p><br></p><p>Here&#39;s the list of the podcast episodes where Ryan was a guest on, which I&#39;ve listened to before this conversation: </p><ul><li><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/ryan-montgomery-on-unlocking-a-mind-body/id1453616436?i=1000737775369" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">For The Long Run &quot;Ryan Montgomery on Unlocking a Mind, Body, and Environmental Connection Through Professional Running&quot;</a></li><li><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/ryan-montgomery-always-learning/id1492327668?i=1000542946911" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Freetrail &quot;Ryan Montgomery | Always Learning</a>&quot; </li><li><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a-different-discussion-with-ryan-montgomery/id484661268?i=1000527655297" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Trail Running Nation &quot;A Different Discussion with Ryan Montgomery</a>&quot;</li><li><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/ryan-montgomery-on-pride-balance-and-western-states/id1640142466?i=1000660197831" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">The Trail Head &quot;Ryan Montgomery on Pride, Balance and Western States, Plus Diana Fitzpatrick on WSER&#39;s Evolution&quot;</a></li><li><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/dk/podcast/ryan-montgomery-10-minutes-with-a-legend-in-the/id1725734721?i=1000714336678" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Borderlands Trail (+ Ultra) Running: &quot;Ryan Montgomery: 10 Minutes with a Legend in the Making | Pre Western States 2025&quot;</a> </li></ul><p><br></p>
