036: Overcoming Hardship and Building A New Life with Running and Photography - Joe Greer

The Nick Bare Podcast

Today I'm sitting down with renowned photographer and 2:36 marathoner Joe Greer. Joe has dedicated his career to capturing life in its purest form, and his ability to communicate his complex experiences through photos is breathtaking. Joe tragically lost his mother at a young age, creating a life of trials and hardship but also one of courage and overcoming, bringing so much wisdom that he openly shares with us today.

We unpack Joe's complex background and reveal lessons on finding forgiveness, cultivating deep relationships, and how his passions for photography and running influence how he views the world. We also dive into how fatherhood is affecting our ambitions and perspectives on what we value most. Enjoy the episode!
