Sam and I were guests on a local Utah podcast called The Good Effect. We had a great time chatting about Extreme Motus, some of our favorite adventures, and the future of the company.
What is The Good Effect?
The Good Effect was created by married couple Emma Joe and Bryce Hansen. Emma did a great job interviewing us, and Bryce was behind the camera filming and making sure the sound came in clear. Their stated goal with the podcast is to “explore powerful stories of leaders who are changing the world, one mission at a time.”
It was fun to be in a fancy studio answering questions about our relationship and adventures in the Extreme Motus. Many commenters on our social media posts have said Sam and I belong in a padded room — and look where we actually ended up.
