Real-world impact
Kyle Vogt set the world record for fastest 7 marathons on 7 continents (men, private jet): 81 hours, 38 minutes, 46 seconds. Demonstrated the viability of plant-based diet for extreme athletic endurance — aligned with Game Changers thesis. Kyle released his custom route-planning software on GitHub for anyone to use. The footage, when eventually cut into a Psihoyos film, will tell a remarkable hero journey story. Hunter's unofficial record for fastest human to touch all 7 continents is a personal milestone.
