Natasha Cruz-Sanchez is a trucker based out of Arizona with an amazing story. From the aftermath of Hurricane Maria in 2017, Natasha found her way from Puerto Rico to Washington DC with $500 in her pocket. Coming from the nursing industry she found her passion for coffee! Traveling to Italy and beyond she sunk her teeth into all things coffee, where she eventually began engaging with truck drivers. Inspired by their honest hard work she decided to go over the road. After a bad cup of coffee from a truck stop in Texas, she knew she had to somehow combine both of the things she loved the most!

Follow their instagram page @NACRUSAN and you can order their coffee sourced from the finest coffee farmers at nacrusan.com

Today's episode I recap some of my time from the Manifest Conference in Las Vegas, why the NFL isn't rigged but still is kinda lame, why AI is boring compared to getting peoples' stories, and why I'm proud to be on the Truck Parking Club team

Full recap of the Austin Marathon which was a 15min PR and 2 hours faster than my first ever Marathon. I go into why I'll continue to live the Go One More philosophy because if I can become a better athlete, eventually I can no longer be ignored.
