About this episode

Bowhunter, endurance athlete, and Keep Hammering Collective host Cameron Hanes is back on the show — and this time, he’s preparing for one of the hardest races in the world: Cocodona 250.


We dive into the mindset, obsession, and sacrifice it takes to show up day after day for something that pushes you past your limits. Cam talks about the release of his new book Undeniable, the cost of being an outlier, and why real growth starts where comfort ends. He shares lessons from a lifetime of running, training, and suffering — both planned and unexpected — and how that pain sharpens purpose.
