"How to Use Failure"
Laz gave a TED Talk last night on how to never waste it and make it your secret weapon.
"I've failed at most everything in my life," he told me while I was putting together his biography. He never shied away. 📷 Harvey Lewis

BIG'S 2023 was unforgettable and a window into Laz. As hours turned into days, all that we'd spoken about gelled into the backbone of my book...
There is No Finish wasn't a witty taunt.
It was a life motto!!

Hours away from the most backward, tortuous, and ultimately human event of the season, Big's Backyard Ultra.
Only race I've encountered where competitors NEED others to do well.

BIG'S - Let me tell U a bit about what's coming... as I write this... hungry souls from all over the world are descending on a tiny town in Tennessee!!
They're coming for each other. And themselves. They will run till they can move no more. "There Is No Finish" taped to the starting arch.
