Episode overview:
I’m joined by my older brother Bryan Macon, an avid runner, to discuss our shared journey with Back on My Feet, a nonprofit organization that combats homelessness through running programs, community support, and employment resources.
We share personal stories from our involvement with Back on My Feet, highlighting how the organization's early morning runs foster discipline, community, and personal growth for both volunteers and participants experiencing homelessness.
Bryan recounts his marathon experiences, including his Boston Marathon qualification, while I offer my perspective as a spectator, offering insight into the world of competitive long-distance running.
The conversation offers a mix of inspiring stories, practical running advice, and insights into how small acts of showing up consistently can lead to transformative change in people's lives.
Finally, we discuss our upcoming New York City Marathon, which we’re running to raise funds for Back on My Feet, and explain how donations directly impact participants' lives, from job interview preparation to housing assistance.
