Real Friends is a podcast dedicated to sharing some of the ”real stories” from my “real friends”. Its open, honest conversations about the highs and lows of real life with the belief that sharing who we are allows us to be better known and also allows us the opportunity to be truly loved for who we really are.
This month I chat with a friend of mine, Tom Mroczkowski. Tom is a native of St. Louis, very familiar with the local running scene, and a passionate pet owner. Tom enjoys both paved and trail running and has also enjoyed running and exploring with his first dog, Gibby, and now his current dog, Max. If you would like to know more about Tom and his passion for running and the answer to the question “What’s the halfway point in a full marathon?”, stay tuned to this month’s episode– I’m sure you will enjoy it.
Thank you for listening. This is “Real Friends”.

2026 Fantasy Football Draft
This year you are invited to attend our 2026 fantasy football draft. It’s our 18th year of playing fantasy football together and the draft is one of my favorite things to attend each year. It’s normally an evening of meaningless sports conversation between fantasy football coaches but this time we kick things off predraft discussing one of my friend’s Youth ministry and some of the challenges young men face in or current culture these days. Then we eventually transition to the actual draft. It’s a good time with friends and it can be both serious and silly at the same time. Whether you are a fan of fantasy sports or not, I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for listening. This is “Real Friends”.

Running – Erika Garner
This month after a trail run at the beautiful Don Robinson State Park, I enjoy a conversation with Erika Garner. Erika is both a guide and one of the leads for Big River’s “Unpaved” offering. Erika has been an active runner for most of her life but really loves trail running and its unique opportunities to explore nature. But her appreciation for trail running and “life in general” significantly deepened after she experienced a serious health challenge in her 30s. If you like a good comeback story and would like to know more about the challenges Erika overcame, listen to this month’s episode of “Real Friends” – I’m sure you will enjoy it.
Thank you for listening. This is “Real Friends”.
Oh, and if you happen to be out on a trail run with Erika, don’t forget to ask her about some of the Hungarian dances she learned as a child – like Csárdás. She may not perform any of them for you, but you never know unless you ask.
