Top Lessons Learned From Running the Business AND the Antarctica Marathon
One month into launching Trainual, the Ronzio brothers signed up to run a marathon in Antarctica. Yeah, seriously. At the time, they couldn't afford the trip. Nor could they take 3 weeks away from Trainual without it going to zero. Oh, and neither of them had ever even run a marathon. But the waiting list was 5 years long. So they committed to this massive dream and set the intention that when their time came to run this race, they'd be ready. This is that story.
