In S4Ep3 of the PRP, Adam chops it up with established marathoner, design artisan virtuoso and passionate community development specialist Aaron Barnett, who has been preparing for the Martian Marathon on Saturday April 13th, 2024. Jared Barnett, seasoned hobby jogger, lover of all people and aspiring public health aficionado joins the show to offer his take on all things community, stewardship, and running. 

The conversation kicks off with the brothers Barnett reflecting on the significance of community and how pivotal a role it plays in each of our lives. From an early age, Papa Barnett made sure the boys understood this by laying the groundwork for what would become a primary pillar in both Aaron & Jared’s lives. Sacrificing for the greater good and helping uplift those around you has become a daily practice for these gents, each of them pursuing this work in their own unique lanes with their own unique style. 

The lads then break bread about running, art and stewardship as they pontificate on what it means to be a leader. Leadership comes in all different shapes, forms and sizes these days, but one thing is for sure - it’s best to lead by example and let others tap in on their own timing and on their own fruition. The betterment of society comes when non forceful initiative is taken by those who possess the skills to empower others. At the end of the day, we’ve all got to ask ourselves, how can we impact the world in a positive way?

What’s the significance of the date 05/04/19?? Does the PRP have a cousin?! Is Jared about to be internationally thuggin?? What exactly does it mean to let go and let god? Is perfect the enemy of done?! Uh oh, heads up here comes the poop monster!! Big shout outs to Emeril Lagasse?? Does the truth really expose itself late in a marathon? What is the book of Barnett and why should you consider getting a copy?! Drip shots fired?? Pad Thai, vibes and humble pie, oh my!! 

This and so much more in this inspiring, motivational and prolific episode of the PRP!
