    Episode 81: Jim Logan

    Micky talks with James Logan, author of Just Keep TRI-ing, to explore an extraordinary journey of resilience, faith, and determination. After multiple failed Ironman attempts and a devastating stage 4 cancer diagnosis, James refused to surrender his dream, choosing instead to keep moving forward one step at a time. We discuss the mindset that helped him overcome adversity, the power of discipline and purpose, and why the greatest victories often happen long before the finish line. This is an inspiring conversation about hope, courage, and leaving a legacy that will stay with you long after the episode ends.
