EP 139: Sacred Suffering with Kallup McCoy II

Project Endure Podcast

On this episode of The Project Endure Podcast, Joe Rinaldi sits down with Kallup McCoy II to talk about growing up in a toxic environment, developing emotional intelligence through life experience, the trouble of letting addiction take us further than we want to go (recognizing the false sense of control), falling in love with the anticipation of the high, allowing pleasure to make us prisoner, doing things we never said we would do, releasing the weight of shame, explaining: it was good for me to be afflicted, allowing our suffering to be sacred (crying out to God), undergoing radical transformations, running 800 miles in 40 days (along the Trail of Tears), unpacking the phrase: if we’re not serving we’re not recovering, letting go of ego to ask for help, trusting that we’re all walking one another home, the meaning of memento mori, using running as a form of worship, seeing that within every man lies the whole world and so much more. Give this episode a listen as we dive deep into Kallup's life and learn about what persistence, perspective and endurance mean to him.
