#300 - 300 Episodes Later: A Conversation About Showing Up



Three hundred episodes were never really about podcasts—they were always about people. In this special milestone episode, Dr. Zupenda Davis takes over the microphone to interview Coach Tadris about the journey of Run To The Best You, the lessons learned along the way, and why showing up consistently can change your life. Whether you’re taking your first step or chasing your next finish line, this conversation will remind you that progress is progress, and every step forward counts.
