    Have you ever looked at someone who’s done something so extraordinary that you thought, “I could never do that”? What if you could, and it simply meant changing the way you think? In this episode of the Visibly Fit Podcast, I sit down with Joe Gagnon, a man who has proven that what seems impossible is often just the beginning. At age 39, Joe was not an athlete.

His story is proof that it’s never too late to start fresh, to rewrite your narrative, and to push past self-imposed limits. If you’ve ever felt stuck, too old to start, or overwhelmed by the thought of change, Joe’s wisdom will encourage you to take one intentional step at a time toward the extraordinary life God designed for you.
