info_outlineMany of the OCR community from back in the day remember Dustin Dorough! Fast talker, excellent motivational speeches, and tearaway shorts ring a bell? He's worked for Spartan Race, Terrain Race, Bonefrog, and more over the years so we start off briefly touching on his history in OCR. For more of an in depth discussion though we recommend OCRWC Podcast's episode with him here!
Much more recently Dustin completed an epic adventure journeying from the United Kingdom to Iraq on his motorcyle for a bunch of reasons! These ranged from getting attention from the Dakar Rally community, seeing a friend, and more!
We also have discussions about mental health since he has been very involved with helping many people over the years, is proudly neurodivergent, and he has had quite the near death experience.
We hope you enjoy this episode and consider following his motorcyle specific account here.
