#37 - Manny Lamson - The Non Standard Path & Doing Hard Things.

Today’s guest is Manny Lamson! Manny was a student-athlete on the football team during my time at Washington State University (Go Cougs!).

In this conversation, we dive into his non-standard path of over 15 years of service in the Air Force, while enlisted joining the WSU football team, doing Air Force ROTC, and what he has learned from doing extremely hard things. He has done an Ironman, 4x4x48, marathons, and more. Love this guy’s energy and what he brings to not only this conversation but other people’s lives through coaching with 1st Phorm.
