    Back Azimuth: When Turning Around Is the Smartest Move You Can Make

    Before Sara Blakely built Spanx into a billion-dollar brand, she was selling fax machines door to door in Florida. At 26, after failed attempts at law school and other career paths, she pulled her car to the side of the road and had a realization: she was in the wrong movie. She didn’t know exactly what the right direction was yet. She just knew this wasn’t it. That moment is at the heart of this episode. A back azimuth is a navigation tool used to reverse direction, regain your bearings, and figure out where you actually are. In this episode of LIMITLESS, Rod and Kerry use that idea to explore a question most of us eventually face: how do you know when to keep pushing, when to pause, and when changing direction is actually the smarter move? From Shackleton’s Turnback Glacier and Kerry’s turnaround on Glacier Peak to Vera Wang, Scott O’Grady, career changes, recovery, failure, values, and the people who help keep us oriented, this conversation is about how to get off course without losing yourself.  In this episode:  Why turning around is not always the same as quitting  How Sara Blakely learned to separate failure from identity  Why your worth should not rise and fall with your performance  Switchbacks, false summits, and nonlinear progress  How values and your deeper “why” can serve as landmarks  Why recovery is part of performance  How to tell whether you need to push through or change course  The role trusted people can play as anchors and waypoints  Why teams need to reorient before rushing to solutions The goal is not to never get off course. The goal is to recognize it, get your bearings, and choose your next direction with intention. Sometimes the turnaround is part of the route. LIMITLESS is hosted by Rod Price and Kerry McCarter, co-authors of From Stuck to Unstoppable: The LEAP Method to Living a Peak Performing Life.

    Keep Going: Climbing, Friendship, Grit, and the Adventure of a Lifetime

    In this inspiring episode of The Limitless Podcast, Rod and Kerry sit down with three remarkable mountaineers and lifelong adventurers: Jim, Eileen, and Faye. Together, they share stories from decades of climbing, exploring, failing, returning, laughing, suffering, and finding meaning in the mountains.  Faye, who has climbed thousands of peaks and completed major Washington mountain lists, reflects on a life shaped by perseverance, curiosity, and the simple drive to keep going. Jim and Eileen add their own powerful perspective on trust, partnership, planning, risk, humor, and the kind of friendship that is forged through shared challenge.  This conversation is about much more than climbing. It is about resilience, aging with purpose, adapting when life changes, building relationships you can trust, and discovering that adventure does not end just because the route looks different. Whether you are a climber, hiker, outdoor enthusiast, or someone looking for motivation to keep moving forward, this episode is a reminder that we are capable of more than we think, and we do not have to climb alone.

    Make a Great Day with Tommy BK: Coaching, Character, and the Power of Belief

    In this episode, we sit down with Tommy Boyer-Kendrick, one of the most respected and impactful coaches in the Spokane community, for a powerful conversation about leadership, coaching, and what it truly means to serve others. Tommy’s journey didn’t start with spotlight or status. He began cleaning locker rooms and bathrooms, working for free, and learning by observation. Over time, he went on to coach elite professional athletes at the highest levels — and then made the deliberate decision to walk away from that world to choose family, purpose, and deeper impact. This conversation goes far beyond athletics. It’s about identity, character, and human development. We talk about: Why consistency, discipline, and habits matter more than intensityWhat great coaching really is, and where the word “coach” actually comes fromLeading through service, not authorityBuilding belief in people who don’t yet believe in themselvesCoaching character, not just performanceProcess over outcomes, especially in seasons of failure and lossHelping young people perform under pressure, defeat, and disappointmentWhy community, belonging, and relationships matter more than winsChoosing purpose over ego, fame, and prestigeTommy shares deeply personal stories about his upbringing, his mother’s example of grit and humility, his time at West Point, his years coaching professional athletes, and the moment he chose to come home and build something meaningful from the ground up. This episode is for coaches, parents, leaders, mentors, and anyone who believes that real growth is built through consistency, service, and showing up — even when the scoreboard says otherwise. Listener note: This episode includes discussion of real-life challenges, pressure, failure, and emotional experiences. If you or someone you know is struggling and needs immediate help, please contact 988 in the U.S. or your local emergency services.

    From Combat Trauma to Unstoppable: Marine Veteran Chris Brown’s Journey to Healing and Peak Performance

    In this powerful episode of LIMITLESS, Rod and Kerry sit down with Marine veteran, trauma survivor, and EMDR consultant Chris Brown, LICSW for one of the most raw and meaningful conversations we’ve ever had on the show.  Chris takes us inside his journey—from the intensity of combat to the blast that changed everything, to waking up years later with the weight of PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and survivor’s guilt. But this isn’t just a story about trauma. It’s a story about rebuilding a life, rediscovering purpose, and turning pain into mission.  We talk about:  • The combat deployment that left a permanent mark on his mind and body  • What it’s really like to come home when part of you is still on the battlefield  • PTSD, flashbacks, and the fight for normalcy  • How EMDR therapy helps the brain heal  • Why performance and trauma recovery are deeply connected  • The nonprofit he founded to help veterans and first responders reclaim their purpose  • The mindset shifts required to lead yourself out of darkness  • And what real resilience actually looks like in the wild  This episode will challenge you, encourage you, and maybe even change the way you understand trauma and recovery. Chris’s story is one of transformation, courage, and the long walk home after war.  If you’ve ever struggled, or you love someone who has, this is an episode you won’t forget.  WARNING  This episode includes discussions of trauma, combat experiences, PTSD, and other emotionally challenging topics. If you feel overwhelmed at any time, please pause and take care of yourself. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or 911 for immediate emergency assistance.

    Failure as a Paradigm Shift: Why Setbacks Shape the ACT Stage of LEAP

    In this episode of the LIMITLESS Podcast, Rod and Kerry dig deep into why failure isn’t the opposite of success, it’s the process that creates it. Anchored in the ACT stage of the LEAP framework, they explore how taking action inevitably brings setbacks, and how reframing those moments as teachers can transform your growth journey. Through mountaineering close-calls, marathon lessons, and stories of both professional and personal failures, Rod and Kerry share candidly about what they’ve learned: humility, resilience, grit, and the power of the comeback. Alongside their own experiences, they weave in research from Carol Dweck (Mindset), Angela Duckworth (Grit), Jim Murphy (Inner Excellence), and Jim Whittaker (A Life on the Edge). The conversation also touches on legendary climbs like Meru, strongman competition setbacks, and why the mountain will always be there tomorrow. The episode closes with a guided mindfulness exercise, helping listeners reflect on their own “mountain” and find meaning in the climb. If you’ve ever turned back short of your goal, felt the sting of missing a target by seconds, or wrestled with the fear of trying at all, this conversation will challenge, comfort, and inspire you to keep climbing.
