Your Hosts:

Meghan Fanning and John Enos

Meghan and John are both coaches with ZenduranceNow. They have come to notice that there is a very fine line between a BreakDown and Breaking it Down. That line tends to fall in the fragility of life. And it’s a story. We have stories to tell and stories to hear. Join us on the BreakDown.

John and Meghan chat with a lovely human, endurance athlete, and friend Roy Van Buren. Roy discusses the ups and downs of life and how he was able to literally, one step at a time, keep moving forward. Roy’s story inspires decency and kindness in a climate where this isn’t always easy for us.
