In this riveting episode, we welcome Carlos, an aficionado in Obstacle Course Racing (OCR) from Venezuela. He dives into the current landscape and challenges faced by the OCR community in Venezuela and across South America.
Following Carlos, Brakken returns to our podcast to dive deep into the dichotomy of entertaining versus informing. We explore the balance content creators must strike between engaging their audience and providing factual, useful information. Brakken delves into the responsibility of race directors and the standards they should be held to. The conversation takes a fun twist as we discuss the spectrum of "goofy vs. hybrid" race events.
With a blend of humor, insights, and thought-provoking discussions, this episode promises to be both entertaining and enlightening.
