EP27: Ray Zahab: Running For His Life

 
 
 

I’m thrilled to share this week’s guest, Ray Zahab with you. He is truly an extraordinary human being.

Ray is a Canadian Adventurer, ultra-distance runner, and Founder of non-profit impossible2Possible. and has traversed some of the world’s most inhospitable regions on foot. He runs through the most incredible and fascinating landscapes from the desert to the arctic. What I think is really special about Ray is that he really cares about the people that he meets and the love that he has for connecting with them on a human level. 

He is running and educating the world about all these places and I believe deep down he is literally running for his life. He used to drink and smoke “too much” as he said and had a very negative mindset. Then one day he got tired of himself and vowed to change. It took him 3 years to quit smoking but he stuck with it and stayed on the path of reentry. He wanted to be DEEPLY happy. 

“Every person has the capacity to be extraordinary in their own way.” (Click to tweet!)

~ Ray Zahab

Ray shares his near-death experience and the even deeper shift he found within himself as a result and how it changed his life. I also ask him about his tips and advice for moving toward a healthier way of living both through food and movement.

I can’t wait for you to listen to this conversation and to be inspired. I hope that it reminds you that you are capable of extraordinary things too! I’d love to hear what you think of this conversation. Be sure to comment below or connect with me on Instagram to tell me all about it.
