We've formulated five questions in an effort to extract relevant opinions and wisdom that can be shared amongst our community.

Iman Smith, marathoner + running coach, and spiritualist, shows us what motivates him to strive for success.

 How much effort do you think you allocate to the mental side of your training conditioning?

A shit load

How often do you encounter failure (either in training or in competing) and how do you interact with it during/after it has held you back from your goal?

Lately, motivation has been the issue. Failure is critical in running. It is the catalyst for future success in your runnings. I embrace failed attempts.

What motivator allows you to elevate your game beyond 100%? In other words, what is it within you that accounts for that extra push when you need it?

Knowing I’m stronger than I’ve shown on the day.

Have you tried functional Mushrooms before?

Lion's Mane
Cordyceps
Reishi
Turkey Tail

Have you had an experience with psychedelic mushrooms before? If so how did the experience affect your life?

Yes. There are too many things I could write. However, psychedelics have assisted me in having more compassion.
