In this episode of The Unbroken Podcast, we sit down with Daniel Pledger—a man whose life has been defined by strength, grit, and relentless drive. From his early days playing football in high school and college, to his time in the Army where he also competed in MMA, Daniel has always chased physical excellence.
But it wasn’t until 2019 that he discovered his true passion: Strongman. What started as a curiosity quickly turned into a calling. Daniel committed to the sport and rose through the ranks to become one of the best Strongman competitors in the world. His journey has taken him across the globe—including to Lithuania—where he competed alongside elite international athletes.
Daniel’s story is one of discipline, passion, and perseverance. Whether you’re an athlete, a veteran, or just someone working toward your own version of strength, his journey is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to pursue your greatness.
