Dr. Dan Rudd: Psychotherapist, Ironman and Wedding Officiant

A lot of first take place during big episode #60! Carl interviews his first psychotherapist (and of course tries to get a free therapy session), first Ironman competitor and first wedding officiant. And the crazy thing is that just one man, Dan Rudd has accomplished all these things and more!

How does a chubby kid growing up end up competing in 200 triathlons and 8 Ironman competition? Dan will tell you he is not the fastest or strongest, but he has great endurance. Which is a great metaphor for life!

Dan loves his second act. He’s officiated 35 weddings and 9 celebrations of life. He’s truly making a difference in people’s lives, throughout his career and now in (un)Retirement.
