    Ep. 356 – Lucky Is a Lie; The Work Behind Success

    Are they really lucky... or are you just seeing the highlight reel? Tag someone who needs this reminder, It's easy to look at someone's success and say, "They got lucky." What's harder is seeing the early mornings. The sacrifices. The setbacks. The years of showing up when nobody was watching. When we label someone's success as luck, we often ignore the work that made it possible. And sometimes, if we're honest, calling it luck protects us from asking a tougher question: What would happen if I committed to my goals with that same level of consistency? The truth is, most success stories aren't built on luck. They're built on intentional choices repeated over and over again. So instead of saying, "Must be nice," try asking: "What did you do to get there?" That question can change everything. This week, celebrate the effort—not just the outcome. What's one sacrifice you've made in pursuit of something meaningful? Thank you to our sponsors: Fuel all of your long runs or rides with Never2.

    Ep. 355 – Kyle & Brent Pease; The Power of Inclusion

    In this inspiring episode of The On Purpose Podcast, Jerrod Hardy sits down with brothers Kyle and Brent Pease to explore how endurance sports became a platform for inclusion, resilience, and changing lives. What started with a single triathlon transformed into a mission to ensure that everyone—regardless of physical ability—has the opportunity to compete, belong, and experience the power of community. Brent shares how pushing Kyle through races became about far more than crossing finish lines, while Kyle’s perspective reminds us all to focus on what we get to do instead of what we have to do. This conversation is about courage, dignity, brotherhood, and the belief that no one should be left on the sidelines of life.
