EP 522: Judd Shaw - What's Really Hiding Behind Your Armour?
On the outside, we see a lawyer with the external trappings of success, the office, the suit, the watch, the car, the home and assume they have the perfect life. Right? But often, behind the armour, it's a different story. Judd Shaw is a guy who blends his work as a lawyer/CEO of Judd Shaw Injury Law with his deep desire to help others. Judd chased success as a lawyer and made it to the top of the hill only to discover its hollow rewards without genuine human bonds. His story is a powerful reminder of the importance of genuine human connections in our lives. Judd went to a really dark place. He had it all going on from the outside, but under his armour, things were very dark, as you will hear.

At the age of 46, 2 years after she was advised never to run again, Arnold shocked the running world by winning the Leadville Trail 100 Run, the largest, highest and most challenging 100 mile ultramarathon in the country with one of the fastest times in race history. Historically, less than 50 percent of entrants in the Leadville even finish the 100-mile, out-and-back course before the 30-hour cutoff. Katie won it! We discuss Katie's beautifully written book about life, the trails, dealing with trauma, comebacks, zen, self-awareness, and the power of nature.
