About us
what started as me and Josh with cameras has turned into so much more. I never could have imaged the success of both my customization company and the newly released podcast. Looking forward to what 2025 can bring!

S2 Ep. 18 Please welcome the owner of Xtra Mile Running, Christopher Schiel, to the show!
For those who don’t know, this is my third year of creating our racing team’s end of year video; that means going through 365 days of photos and picking the best to represent that year.
For Chris, I had to go back through 7 full years of photos to truly try and encapsulate just a fraction of my time knowing him. We recorded first and then I went on a photo scavenger hunt that made one thing clear. While opening the store for Chris was an absolute life changing event, meeting him was a life changing event for me.
He and I talked about so much; how we met, kids club, C25K, relationships with vendors, Fast Track, COVID, supporting small businesses, and boiled everything down to one word: community.
But when I look back at 7 years of photos, I realize we have only scratched the surface . I just hope it doesn’t take nearly a year to get him to come back on the pod. Enjoy!

Hello, I’m Rachael the host and founder of this whole shebang. I will definitely need to get a better narrative done but for now, thank you for your support of the flying pig project.

this is Marty. I will give him the chance to write his own bio since he probably didn’t even expect to be pictured on the website. I’ll even change his picture if he wants.

this is butter who will occasionally pop into the middle of a recording just to show off his “good” side. He’s very skilled; known to take the microphone and camera out in one stealthy move.
