About this listen

It’s just Becky and Allyson this week (Katie’s off living her best conference life), but we’re not flying solo, we’re welcoming our very first guest! After a quick catch up that includes kindergarten chaos, Moana Jr. auditions (95 kids?!), and a week that felt like a full moon fever dream, we bring in Alex Baker (@ketchuptocancer) for a conversation that’s equal parts heartbreaking, inspiring, and unexpectedly hilarious. Alex shares how losing his wife to stage 4 colorectal cancer changed everything and how he turned grief into forward motion through running, fundraising, and his mission to “catch up to cancer” (yes, there’s ketchup involved). We talk charity marathons, the pressure of fundraising, why forward is a pace, and how a wild idea (and 5,000 ketchup packets) grew into something way bigger than he ever imagined. Bring tissues… and maybe a mustard-only hot dog.
