This episode of Dadbods and Dumbbells dives into the whirlwind of Mitch's unexpected rise to fame after being featured in a documentary about the Leadville 100, and how he's juggling entrepreneurial life, fatherhood, and preparing for the grueling Chicago Marathon—all while maintaining his weight at 225 pounds.

Personal anecdotes highlight the joy and camaraderie found in running events despite the looming concerns about long-term joint health. We also delve into the delicate balance between pushing physical limits and ensuring long-term well-being, acknowledging that while some may naturally excel, most of us need to adopt sustainable training practices.

Back in Episode 8 while Barton and Mitch were discussing Ephedrine as a pre-workout option in the 90s, Mitch went into a story of his childhood and how smart his older brother was.

In a hilarious fact-checking segment, his brother Mark joins the conversation and debunks some of my exaggerated childhood stories, including my infamous "pants wetting" tactic to escape school. Yes, Mark is indeed a doctor, but not without setting the record straight on those other tales. We dive into our educational journeys, the impact of our mother's teaching methods, and even touch on our dad's unfinished book, "When I Grow Up, I Want to Be Like Mitch." From early struggles to eventual successes, this episode is packed with insights and laughter that any parent or educator will find enlightening.

We also recount our college years at Indiana University South Bend, reminiscing about the perks of a full-ride scholarship and the challenges of a commuter campus. The conversation takes an intense turn as I share a recent scary encounter that reignited my fear of prison, offering a raw look at how past experiences continue to shape our fears and motivations. But it's not all serious—Mark and I also share light-hearted moments, including a funny story about frosted tips and a mistaken resemblance to Prince William. Tune in for a rollercoaster of emotions and a genuine sibling connection that underscores the power of family and shared history.
