In today’s episode, we share the inspiring story of Dan, an athlete who defied the odds to train for an Ironman despite being born without a left lung and rib cage. 

For years, Dan believed he couldn’t pursue endurance sports—until he challenged that lie.

This episode is for anyone battling self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or the fear of failure. 

Dan’s journey reminds us that the only thing holding us back is often ourselves. 

Tune in to discover how he turned obstacles into opportunities and proved that we can all do hard things!
