428. "Sober Up: Spartan Style" with Author Tara Pipia, Ph.D.!

"If we want more books written about the sport, we need to buy books written about the sport" is a phrase that Mike and many others have repeated for years regarding OCR! Due to this we have had a few authors on the show ranging from Des Linden to Gwendolyn Bounds!

Tara Pipia reached out to us about her book "Sober Up: Spartan Style" which was published in December of last year!

As described on the website, the book "sheds light on how Spartan Race and DEKA, Spartan’s partner sport, have reconnected individuals with themselves and others, particularly after struggling with substance misuse. Highlighting the pressing issue of the current drug epidemic, Dr. Pipia advocates for the integration of Spartan Race and DEKA into rehabilitation centers, envisioning a supportive and healthy environment for individuals upon their release."

Be sure to check out her book on Amazon and follow along with Tara on social media!
