101: Exploring Free Will with Kilian Korth and Christie Brinker

In this episode of the Tribe of Runners Podcast, we’re stepping outside of running for a second and getting into something deeper.

I’m joined with co-host Christie and Killian for a conversation around free will, choice, and how much of our lives are actually in our control. What if you’re not as in control as you think you are?

We dive into the science, the philosophy, and our own experiences that have made us question what it really means to “choose” anything.

We talk about how your thoughts, reactions, and decisions might be shaped more by your environment, genetics, and past experiences than you realize. We also talk about what that means for how you may view success, failure, and even suffering.

This conversation goes into:

• Whether free will is real… or just something we believe to feel in control
• How mindset, meditation, and awareness can shift your experience
• Why letting go of control can actually bring more peace
• How this way of thinking impacts running, performance, and life

This one isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about asking better questions.

If you’ve ever struggled with pressure, expectations, or trying to control everything in your life, this episode might shift how you see it all.

The book we are talking about is Free Will by Sam Harris
