The Jake Savage Podcast
Hello - my name's Jake Savage and I'm an endurance enthusiast. From knocking on the doors of nearly 100,000 strangers to racing full Ironman triathlons, I've found that I feel the most alive in the midst of activities that require me to ask myself, "Do I have what it takes to endure this?". This show explores the world of endurance through conversations with pro & amatuer athletes, subject matter experts, and innovators in the space. If you're looking to boost your mental, emotional, and physical stamina, you're in the right place.
