a dad on a mission – I am Rirou the Punk!

The birth of a dream, that is how this song feels. I remember the day I thought about this song, I have just arrived from coaching swim and my son Luke was doing physical therapy and he was listening to Row your boat. My first thought was, “that is not a workout song”, specially from someone that came with a purpose of overcoming something. Well, that is what it says in Luke’s birth astral map anyways. So, I did what every Dad would do, I switch the station, to Punk rock and metal.

After going around the world 4.25 times with more 171 000 km accumulated between training and racing ironman; I realized Luke needed some songs to workout, and motivate him to keep following his dreams. Not only Luke by kids in general. That is when I decided to make my running partner (my air guitar) into a real music. Yes, I did inumerous run listening to metal and punk playing my air guitar like a crazy person. What can I say, that was the best part of doing ironman.

Here it is, Episode 8: Rock your boat dance ritual – air guitar!

Punkaste,

Life is so interesting. Few weeks ago, a guy contacted me on Reddit because I actually comment on his post 2 years prior to it. Anyways, he told me he wrote a book called Surviving the impossible. Therefore, I inveted him to my talk show.

My talk is very lady back with an open conversation, by usually difficult situations. Therefore, I didn’t google his name or anything like that. I just left for the live interview.

Anyways, I ended up interviewing Craig Lewis which I google his name afterwards. Super cool interview and super interesting because of his history with mental health.
