On this week's 5 Random Questions, Colin True talks about his one food for life, his trick to going to the toilet while enduring ultra-running events, a shining moment with his daughter, and much more.Answering the questions this week: Colin True Colin True spent over 20 years working for outdoor brands, living in places most people only get to visit, and forming a definite opinion about the good, the bad, and ugly of the outdoor industry and our outdoor community. After giving up the sales gigs to go deep into ultrarunning, Colin soon realized that shit was crazy hard and took waaay too long. Looking for something more sedentary between his adventures, he discovered writing, pontificating, and podcasting. He also discovered that most of the outdoor media sounded the same, covered the same topics, and generally was just ok. To Colin, just ok was not ok, and thus Rock Fight was born. @rockfightco on Instagram Colin on YouTube Colin's Website Further reading for this episodeRock Fight | outdoor industry adventure sports commentaryCourtney DauwalterProducts I Use for 5 Random QuestionsNote: these may contain affiliate links, so I get a small percentage of any product you buy when using my link.My equipment:RODE NT1-A large diaphragm condenser micRodecaster Pro II audio production studioSony MDR-7506 Studio Monitor HeadphonesElgato Wave Mic Arm Low ProfileRecommended resources:Captivate.fm podcast hosting, distribution, analytics, and monetizationKit email marketingBoomcaster remote recording and live streamingHindenburg Pro recording and editingAuphonic AI assistant for audio post productionFourthwall merch stores for creators 5 Random Questions is an entertainment podcast brought to you by Danny Brown.
