#187 - He Broke a World Record at 41. At 55, Death Valley Nearly Killed Him

<p>In this episode, I talk with endurance athlete and speaker Croix Sather about how he went from never running to running over 2,000 miles (nearly 3,000) across America, completing a marathon a day for 100 straight days at 40 while speaking publicly after each run. We discuss how his carpentry upbringing shaped his work ethic, how mindset and “manifesting” influenced his life, and what makes the Badwater solo self-contained Death Valley crossings so challenging, including pushing a supply cart in extreme heat. Croix recounts returning at 55 to reclaim his solo unsupported Death Valley record, making it 42 miles in 124 degrees before severe chest pain and a frightening recovery that left him in ongoing cardiac testing. He shares how that experience brought peace and shifted his goals toward humor-infused motivational speaking, fitness, business growth, and his message: “Don’t let your dream die.”<br></p><p><br></p><p>━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━💥 CROIX&#39;S LINKS → https://www.croixsather.com/</p><p>→ https://www.instagram.com/croixsather/━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━</p><p><br></p><p>📲 MY SOCIALS📸 Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/chadahooche_/📸 TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@chadahooche_?lang=en🎙️ Podcast → https://open.spotify.com/show/4uqC8SiipEHirRPPOACQCX</p><p>━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⛰️ MY COMPLETE OUTDOOR GEAR LIST → https://app.rockporch.com/prflink/chadahooche_</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
