Welcome to 15 minutes of fame. Of course. My name is goldy and joined with me today is my friend shane mcwatters. Shane mcwatters owns an event company here in colorado.  It is march 26, 2020. We are doing an off the cuff 15 minutes of fame podcast about the current stasis of his event company. How he's choosing to live in these times in the world and what we can get wrapped up in 15 minutes. Welcome, shane, to the show.  How you doing today, brother? Good man. Sun is shining. You know, we're taking it a day by day. Like everybody is, you know, just, trying to enjoy the blue sky as much as we can, but six feet apart from each other. So, this is acceptable distance, I guess, between you and me right now.  You're a whole city away from me. I don't think there's a lot of mumbo jumbo that we have to hash over because I think people are pretty quick to understanding what's happening in the world right now.  March 26. Today. As it is, colorado itself has been put on lock down from corner to corner, durango to fort collins.  Same rules apply to everybody. We're all in our homes. We're locked down. A question to somebody like yourself, even myself, is -  We've basically just lost our way of putting money in the bank. What good human beings are we now? What can we do? You said something before this interview.  You said, "i want to put food on the table for my family. " how do you do that in these times? Yeah, well, you know, we're pretty fortunate.  The sweetheart city racing community is - they're amazing. It is a community that existed when we got here. We've had this business now for a little over two years, and it's been all about community.  And what can we do? It started. How can we bring the running community together? There was kind of different pockets of people doing different things throughout town, in loveland.  What can we do to kind of bring all those groups together? Through that sweetheart city racing came to exist. Now it's how do we keep that community going? Keep in front of our community.  Give them things to do. In this time, like you say, we're kind of on this lock down. We can't actually be in the same room together or go for runs together and go for walks together unless you're the old social distancing thing. It's funny how we create words and phrases in our current state. That's a new thing. That's real.  It's been crazy. Sara and I had this idea. We're part of a global facebook group, race directors hub.  We've been on there a lot more in the past couple weeks than we probably have ever. Everybody in our space is trying to pivot and figure out - how do we keep - if we have races coming up this spring - how do we keep some version of that alive?  If we don't, then do we cancel? Do we postpone? Things of that nature. Through all of that, without getting too far off in to the weeds, we created a totally brand new event.  It's a virtual run. We've got a strava club. Where people can log there miles on strava. We've got, like, 50. I think the count, this morning, 56 people that are participating.  The golden tee tournament of running that's it. That's pretty great. I think that's fantastic. You're staying connected. You're working your way around the physical nature.  You're doing it on, like, on a stair stepper? In a house? Stair stepper? On a treadmill? You're just doing it in the hallway? What are you doing?  They can do it however they want. The only rule to the game, - it has to be on foot. They can't go 11. 8 miles on a bike. They could be doing their stairway.  That's it. Up and down. Something like that. Whatever. They can walk up and down a hallway 800 times. If that's what you gotta do right now, that's what you gotta do..
