On today's show we talk with two of the top men at BattleFrog Series. Kevin Jones is an engineer by trade, but two months ago, he joined the ever growing list of OCR fans turned OCR employee. On his drive from Ohio to Miami, he stopped by the ORM offices to chat with Matt about it. Learn about his start in OCR, and the wild ride since that has led to him becoming the Chief Marketing Officer at BattleFrog. Next up is a call with BattleFrog CEO Ramiro Ortiz. (Kevin joined for this call as well). Matt first talked to Ramiro when Mr. Ortiz took over from Don Mann last year. Now seemed like to be a good time to catch up to see things have progressed, or not, at BattleFrog. They discuss attendance numbers, this year's ESPN shows, and new cities for next year.

You probably don't know Pete Coleman. You don't know him because he is that rare bird that doesn't tell the world about every accomplishment (or attempt) on social media. So allow me to do it. He's done The Killington Beast and UltraBeast on back to back days, finished multiple Spartan/Peak Death Races, The Georgia Death Race, and most recently earned a Belt Buckle at Western States. On this episode, we talk about how he trained for and completed one of the hardest races in the world, The Western States 100 mile race.

When stuck for a title, always go with the obvious. In this episode, we talk to Ryan Hogan, former CEO of Reed Street Productions and current CEO of Hunt A Killer, LLC. Reed Street launched their first Run For Your Lives event in Maryland in the fall of 2011. 12 months and 13 events later, the company grossed 8.2 million dollars. Another 12 months later, they closed their doors, leaving participants and vendors holding the bag. So what the heck happened!?! In his first interview since it all hit the fan 2 and half years ago, Ryan talks to Matt in depth about beginnings, early success, over-expansion, partnerships, and the eventual bust of Run For Your Lives. He also talks about his new event called Hunt A Killer, which launches back in Maryland, almost exactly 5 years after that first zombie run.
