Show notes

This is the Live Call-in Show from this past Sunday night, March 8, 2026! Mike was in the Studio alone for this show and wanted to dedicate this hour to the passing of Mr. Jeff Galloway, the runDisney training consultant and mentor to so many of us over the years who passed away last month. Jeff opened the door and made running accessible to so many of us, and tonight we took some calls to hear how Jeff impacted not only our running journeys, but our lives. Hear these touching stories and how we plan to carry on Jeff's amazing legacy. We will miss you, Jeff! Thank you for believing in all of us, even when we didn't believe in ourselves.

What's Your Disney Story - Getting To Know Listener Zach - BOGP 2852 Mar 01, 2026

Show notes

Today we are trying somewhat of a new concept here on the show with "What's Your Disney Story?" This came to me over Marathon Weekend, as the theme of the weekend was different genres of stories. runDisney announcer Riley was out in the corrals each morning interviewing folks before the races asking simply, "What's Your Story? Why are you here?" and the answers were amazing! I thought this would be a great way to get to know some members of our community! Today, I ask how Listener Zach from Connecticut first became a Disney fan, memories of his first Disney trip, first encounters with the Disney online community, thoughts on being a "Disney Adult" and why he keeps coming back! We share lots of laughs and memories along the way! We hope you can continue the conversation with us this week in the Be Our Guest Podcast Clubhouse at www.beourguestpodcast.com/clubhouse!
