The Northwestern College grad describes his journey into coaching and why his first coaching job was terrible. Chase talks about landing at NAIA Campbellsville University in Kentucky and the challenges that came with the job. He details a challenging Boston Marathon experience in April that gave him more than he expected and how an Uber Eats saved the day during his stay in Boston. Chase tells about the good and bad during his prep wrestling days and why he went with running in college instead of wrestling. He is asked about his many tattoos and he talks about what some of them mean to him. Lance is asked a question for once and Chase briefly stumps him about the topic.
