Jan Matt: Biking, Running, and Doing What Makes You Happy
On today\u2019s podcast we have my very good friend, Jan Matt. Jan Matt is currently a Real Estate Finance Associate and loves running, cycling, and lifting weights. We\u2019ve been close friends since meeting at our alma mater,\xa0the University of Florida, and while we don\u2019t play basketball, eat froyo, and drink boba together like we did during college, we do try to go running and drink craft beer whenever we link up nowadays.\n\nIn this episode we discuss a bunch of topics, including how Jan Matt got into running and cycling, his first triathlon, his first 10k, and running with his puppy, Zuko. He\u2019s also completed some very interesting and inspiring self challenges that include running 30 miles in 30 days, and running 13 miles in 13 hours. I thought these were really fun goals that anyone can set and achieve for themselves and do with friends, at any time of the year - especially during these times when pretty much all races are cancelled due to COVID-19.\n\nJan Matt is a great example of someone who follows his passions and interests, especially when it comes to physical fitness, and isn\u2019t afraid to \u201ctaste something new\u201d. He\u2019s always stepping out of his comfort zone, keeping things fresh, and through this, always challenging and bettering himself as a person.\n\nThis episode was filled with a lot of laughs, a lot of stories, and it was really just a great time catching up. I hope that you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
