I'm convinced only complete pyschopaths know how to calmly write their bio when asked, so let's give this a try.
I'm Dan Holguin or my more professional title, Rasta Runner.
I'm a mindset & fitness coach to high performers and transformational speaker.
I've been grateful enough to have had some incredible life experiences from a career in bull riding, becoming a best-selling author, fulfilling a childhood dream of summiting Machu Picchu, competing on American Ninja Warrior a couple times, and now training and competing for mountain ultra marathons.
That's the highlight reel; but I've also had my share of tragedy; like most of us.
After unexpectedly losing my longtime coach and mentor, I found myself at what you could call, 'rock bottom'. I gained 30 lbs, went broke, and moved back in with my mom...good times. But after becoming a victim to everything that happened, I decided it was time to fight my way out of the hole I created.
Since then, I've led people to lose a ton of weight; literally, over 2,000 lbs in just a few years. It's been pretty rad! As a result, they've named me 'Montana Fitness Coach of the Year' a few times.
Currently, I live in the middle of the mountains on a ranch in beautiful Northwest Montana and I live and breath long-distance mountain running in Glacier National Park.
So whatcha think? How'd I do?
