In this episode, Ana returns to reflect on a standout year racing at both the Ironman and Ironman 70.3 World Championships. Rather than the build up, we dive into the race days themselves, the challenges she faced, the emotions that surfaced, and what those experiences taught her long after crossing the finish line. Ana shares honest reflections on performance, shifting expectations, and learning to balance ambition with perspective. We explore the emotional side of endurance sport, the importance of support on race day, and how setbacks, pressure, and self belief shape long term growth. It’s a grounded conversation about resilience, progress, and what these experiences leave you with long after the finish line.

In this episode, I sit down with Andy, the current organizer of Night of Lies, and Wade, the original founder, to explore how the event grew from a small, informal storytelling night amongst friends into a cherished part of the Bow Valley community. We talk about the charm that makes Night of Lies so enduring, the balance of humor and honesty on stage, and the effort to keep the event authentic as it evolves. Andy and Wade share insights on audience engagement, community impact, the chaos and comedy behind the scenes, and the importance of grassroots spaces where real stories can thrive. It’s a conversation about creativity, connection, and the spirit that keeps events like this alive.
