About this listen

This week, Angie sits down with Billy Richards — Marine Corps and Army Veteran, Personal Trainer, endurance athlete, and unwavering patriot — whose story will absolutely redefine your definition of grit.

With over 900+ races under his belt — many run while carrying a 45-pound ruck and the American Flag — Billy shares how he transformed pain into purpose. From ultramarathons and obstacle course races to running marathons across states to raise awareness for veteran suicide, Billy’s mission is more than fitness — it’s a tribute to those who serve and sacrifice.

They dive into:
🔹 What drives him to keep pushing past physical limits
🔹 The emotional weight our veterans carry
🔹 His battles with injury — and comeback after hip surgery
🔹 Why honoring veterans and first responders is at the heart of his journey

💥 Whether you're into endurance, advocacy, or human perseverance — this episode will leave you fired up and inspired.
