Run with Purpose

Run with Purpose

By Jonathan Flores

Run With Purpose is a podcast where we discuss how when we focus on one step at a time, we find purpose not only in the activity but in everything that we do! Each week I break down topics on living a life with more purpose and intentionality. I often invite guests on the show to share their personal journey and how they find purpose in what they do whether it's fitness, business or just "ordinary" life. Running has helped me gain the disciplines in my life to help me see my purpose, what is going to get you there?

Excuses | ep131

Excuses | ep131

So this episode was supposed to come out weeks ago, but... Let me stop myself right there! This is the problem; I instantly use an excuse instead of taking ownership of poor planning, time management, etc. This week on the show, I talk about excuses. I break down some reasons why I think we make excuses and talk through some ways to combat that instinct. This episode is one of those where I'm definitely talking to myself, but I hope you also have something to walk away with. Enjoy!

Bucket of Love w/ Deb | ep130

Bucket of Love w/ Deb | ep130

We have all had those relationships where we feel like maybe we are giving a little bit more than the other, but we just don't know what we should do. Do we hold back to balance things out or do we press on and continue as everything is okay? I don't think there is a right answer to this question but maybe we need to look at the question in a different light. This week on the show my good friend Deb joins me to talk all about relationships and how we show up in them. You are getting an insight into our monthly conversations where we start with work and then quickly pivot into three different topics at once!

I hope you can learn something new or at least think about your relationships in a different light after listening to this. Enjoy!

Do It Together w/ Kaela | ep129

Relationships are tough! Whether we are talking about romantic relationships or not, we must do things to make them work. This week on the show, Kaela joins me in discussing how to come together in a relationship to make it work. We talk about the importance of communication, serving others and a few other aspects that we believe to be important to having strong relationships. We talk through some of our past "discussions," and hopefully, you find some humor and some nuggets of info that you can bring to your relationships.

Slow Burn w/ Courtney | ep128

Slow Burn w/ Courtney | ep128

Sometimes life changes on us quickly and we have to adjust. That adjustment may not come as fast as we would like, but we have to continue after it, consistently to see the results in the long run. This week, Courtney joins me on the podcast to discuss her story and journey into running. We talk about identity, finding balance, relationships and a handful of other topics. Enjoy!

Faith | ep127

Faith | ep127

Have you ever thought about the "why" you make the decisions you do? Like where do you have your trust and focus that has you lean one way versus another when making a decision? I know I talk about it a lot on the show in regards to understanding you, but I recently heard a quote regarding faith and actions that got me thinking. This week, I talk about faith and this aspect of "it's not if you have faith, but what do you have your faith in?" This is not an episode on religion (willing to have that convo if you'd like), but really just the big picture when we think about what we have faith in. Hope you enjoy it!

Common Ground w/ Jessi | ep126

Common Ground w/ Jessi | ep126

We are able to accomplish more when we can get together as a group going towards a collective task or goal. Sometimes it can be tackling a large problem and other times it could be running a marathon, literally. This week on the show, Jessi joins me to talk a little bit about how running “side by side” helped build relationships and push our crazy to the limits. She is on her journey of running a marathon in all 50 states and has quite a few races under her belt. We had a great conversation about so many things!

Perspective | ep125

Perspective | ep125

New year and a new word! Looking ahead at 2024, I had been pondering what my "one word" would be for the year. What word would be integral to accomplishing everything I wanted for the year.

Perspective

Today on the show, I go over my thoughts about perspective and how it really can be the basis for a lot of our day to day actions. When we have the right perspective, we can spend our time and energy focused on the right things, which will get us the results we set out for in the first place. Enjoy!

Look Back and Learn | ep124

Look Back and Learn | ep124

As we approach the end of the year, we often take a look back and reflect on all that we did. Unfortunately, we tend to focus primarily on what we wanted to do, but didn't. Or maybe the things that we tried to do but "failed." Today on the show, I talk about reframing our mindset away from the "checklist" of the things I completed vs didn't and shifting that thought process to "What did I learn through the process." If we focus specifically on only what we completed, we are missing out on so much of our learning opportunities in the tough times. I hope you can reframe this thinking to set yourself up for a better mindset heading into 2024.


Thanks for sticking around for another year of the podcast. I'll be taking a few weeks off for the holidays but will come back strong at the beginning of the year with some fresh ideas and great new (and returning) guests!

Am I Lost? | ep122

Am I Lost? | ep122

Have you ever completed a big goal or had a long journey come to an end? How did you feel? How did others interact with you? As I neared the end of my journey, folks would ask me what was next. Once I finished the question turned to “do you feel lost?” This week on the show I break down why I think our minds go to this way of thinking and some ways we can break from that cycle. Enjoy!

Talk It Out w/ Kelli | ep121

Talk It Out w/ Kelli | ep121

Sometimes, there can be topics that we just don't bring up, as we can get a little uncomfortable. This often happens when it comes to relationships between parents and their kids. Since I don't have first-hand experience with this, I had the pleasure of having Kelli from On Our Best Behavior podcast on the show this week to talk through her story. She started a podcast with her son that has turned into an opportunity to bring up topics that range from menstrual cycles to bullying. We chat about how sometimes we need to talk it out and know that we won't always know the answers, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't be curious and at least start the conversation. It's amazing how much we can learn about something with just a little bit of curiosity.

I had a blast talking with Kelli and hearing her story and hopefully, you resonate with that too! Be sure to check out On Our Best Behavior wherever you listen to podcasts, but for now, enjoy this episode!

Finding Joy w/ Heidi | ep115

Finding Joy w/ Heidi | ep115

In life, we all have different paths that we take. We tend to lean into the paths that are more comfortable, sometimes limiting what we do to stay in those walls of comfort. But what if we reframed our minds, took the time, and found joy in the things that help us grow? This week on the show, Heidi joined me to discuss the topic of finding joy. She shares a little bit about her journey and how that has led to helping numerous folks unlock their potential and find joy! Connect with Heidi - https://www.instagram.com/strong.mama.miles

Purpose Proceeds Progress | ep102

Sometime we see a quote or saying and it just sparks a deeper thought. That is where this episode came from for me. This week on the show I talk about purpose and progress and how I see this quote "purpose proceeds progress" in life. Lots of just random thoughts in this process but I hope you get something from it!
