Surba Tucker is a certified personal trainer and someone who I am so lucky to call my friend. Born in Wisconsin, raised in Sierra Leone and then finding himself in Salt Lake City has given him a wealth of amazing life experiences. At any given time, you can find Surba doing an amazing and sometimes gravity defying workout, performing handstands in front of an iconic building or trail running through the Wasatch Mountains and beyond.

In this episode, Surba shares some profound stories from a recent solo trail run in the Grand Canyon (rim to rim), the lessons that he learned from a life altering concussion and how gratitude plays a huge role in his every day  life. He even talks about the mental shift that happens when you begin to look at work as ‘play’.
