In this episode of Without Compromise, we sit down with award-winning journalist, author, podcaster, and Athletic Brewing ambassador, Brendan O’Meara to talk about his book The Front Runner: The Story of Steve Prefontaine. Through vivid storytelling, O’Meara brings to life the grit, charisma, and uncompromising drive of one of America’s most iconic sports figures. We explore Prefontaine’s rise from small-town Oregon to the world stage, his rebellious approach to competition, and the enduring lessons his life offers about passion, purpose, and refusing to settle.
Brendan has been a longstanding ambassador for Athletic Brewing, and hosts the Creative Nonfiction Podcast.
