Welcome to eipsode 231.
A former athlete reached out last week and shared a story I didn't know I was part of — a story about Ironman Canada, a moment at a gas station in Penticton, and a single sentence that ended up shaping the way he approaches challenge, work, and life.
In this episode, I read his message, walk through the race that pushed him to the edge, and explore how "just don't stop" became more than a race‑day mantra. It became a lens for resilience, identity, and doing hard things even when you don't feel ready.
This isn't a story about performance. It's a story about the quiet power of encouragement, the long tail of coaching, and the moments that change us without us realizing it.
If you've ever been in the middle of something hard — in sport or in life — this one will land deeply.
Enjoy and thanks for listening. :)
