300 Episodes Later: Why Showing Up Changes Everything
What began as a simple podcast has become a collection of stories, lessons, and finish-line moments that have impacted countless lives.
In this special 300th episode, Dr. Zupenda Davis interviews Coach Tadris about the heart behind Run To The Best You, the power of consistency over perfection, and why beginners will always be at the center of our mission.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your small steps matter, this conversation will remind you that they do. Sometimes the most life-changing decision isn’t running a marathon—it’s simply choosing to show up today.
