It is the seventy-fifth episode of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast! Thank you to everyone who has been on this journey with me so far. I appreciate all of my listeners and the people who have watched my video podcasts.

For this milestone episode, I am thrilled to welcome back to Jake’s Take one of my all-time favorite American Ninja Warrior athletes: Lance “Cowboy Ninja” Pekus. I first met Lance when the NBC reality TV competition visited Kansas City during the show’s ninth season. He was the first Ninja athlete that left me starstruck.

By the time I met Lance Pekus, the Salmon, Idaho resident was on his sixth season of American Ninja Warrior. If you count Season Nine, Lance made it to Mount Midoriyama, the show’s legendary Las Vegas final round, five different times. In addition to his activity with American Ninja Warrior, he competed on both seasons of Spartan’s Ultimate Team Challenge and all three seasons of Team Ninja Warrior. Outside of American Ninja Warrior, Lance Pekus works as a rancher on his father-in-law’s ranch and is a research tech assistant.

In this edition of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Lance Pekus talked about his run on the twelfth season of American Ninja Warrior. He also spoke about his partnership with the National Beef Council.
