Ep.3 Leigh Gerson, Hakim Tafari, and The Speed Project

09/02/21 • 108 min

Recently myself and a rowdy crew of misfits participated in The Speed Project for Satisfy. A 340 mile unsanctioned 6 person relay race with few rules from the Santa Monica pier to Las Vegas. This episode was recorded hot and fresh the weekend after the conclusion of the race featuring two of the other members. Leigh Gerson, the team captain and one of the runners who has recently moved to Los Angeles from New York. We also have Hakim Tafari who brought exactly what we needed spiritually as a crew member. Together we share the most detailed tales of the adventure, from compassion to death defying moments sleepless running through death valley from the Santa Monica pier to Las Vegas. Enjoy!
Also be sure to check the short film out OUT ON A WIRE which documents the whole experience here!
