What does it take to run 42 miles through mountain trails? And what does that have to do with how you lead?

In this episode, Mark Watkins takes you inside the preparation and race-day experience of the Firefly Ultra Trail Race in Hendersonville, NC to share 7 leadership lessons that only the trail could teach. This is not a running episode. It is an episode about the kind of preparation, resolve, and adaptability that transfers directly into how you lead, how you perform under pressure, and what you do when things stop going according to plan.

Whether you run or not, these 7 lessons will challenge how you think about readiness, mental toughness, and what it means to lead with intention.
