August 29, 2024 Scott Talks to George "Monk" Foreman III
Imagine growing up with a famous dad and 11 siblings, four of whom, your brothers, were all, like you, named George.

George “Monk” Foreman III, entrepreneur, boxing trainer and former business manager of his legendary father, businessman and two-time heavy weight champion, George Foreman Sr, started to train at age nineteen to pursue a career in boxing, like his dad.

But what would you do if you discovered you liked the boxing workout, but not the violence? Would you leave the ring forever, or would you discover your passion for teaching beginners and open Craft Boxing, delivering an authentic boxing and training experience to folks who were ready to rumble?

August 22, 2024 Scott Talks to Ryan Stramrood
What if you hit a wall while swimming across the English channel and felt it was impossible to go on? Ryan Strm Rd, multiple Guinness Book, World record holder, inspirational speaker, world-renowned, extreme swimmer, author, and single dad, still had four hours to swim. And he knew that if he put so much his one hand on the support boat running alongside him, it would all be over. So what would you do if it was getting dark and the ocean was so cold that you could no longer feel your arms? Would you give up and climb into that support boat? Or would you push past the impossible and swim the entire way alone?

August 15, 2024 Scott Talks to Apolo Ohno
America’s most decorated Winter Olympian, short track speed skater, Apolo Ohno, began full-time training at age thirteen, and the following year, he became the youngest U.S. National Champion.
But what would you do if, after dedicating your teenage and young adult years to your sport, you found yourself ready to retire, but there was no process in place to prepare you for your post-Olympic life? Would you stay in your sport for a few additional years because you were afraid to leave? Or would you make the Hard Pivot and dedicate yourself to uplifting mental health awareness?

August 08, 2024 Scott Talks to Roderick Sewell
Imagine growing up with prosthetics from the thighs down. Paralympic athlete Roderick Sewell was born missing his tibia in both legs, and he and his mother experienced homelessness for several years, starting when he was just eight years old. So what would you do if, at age ten, you felt a freedom you’d never before known - in the water? Would you assume that your disability would keep you from being an athlete? Or would you grow up and train for the Ironman World Championships, becoming the first bilateral above-the-knee amputee ever to do it?

August 01, 2024 Scott Talks to Jonny Wilkinson
What if you’d trained for the moment when you could win the Rugby World Cup Final? Podcaster and World Rugby Hall Of Famer Jonny Wilkinson scored the winning drop goal in the last minute in the 2003 Rugby World Cup and instantly became one of the world's most recognizable people. But what would you do if you sank into a mire of confusion, defeat, and grief instead of savoring the moment you'd worked so hard for? Would you do whatever you could to recapture the feeling of that win? Or would you challenge your old conclusions about human potential and begin a transformation journey?
