Becoming the person you want to be isn’t about adding more discipline, motivation, or effort - it’s about letting go. In this episode, I explore the idea that who you’re striving to become isn’t far away, but is often stuck behind the version of yourself you’re unwilling to release.

Drawing from John chapter 3, I unpack what it truly means to be “born again” in Christ - not as surface level belief, but as a complete renewal of identity. Accepting Christ is easy; living for Him is costly. It requires surrendering habits, tendencies, and comforts that no longer align with who God is calling us to be.

Through personal reflection, faith, and parallels from endurance training, this episode challenges you to ask honest questions about what you’re holding onto, why growth feels hard, and what might be on the other side of surrender. The life you want may be closer than you think - it’s waiting on what you’re willing to let go of.

In today’s episode, I break down the personal lessons that helped me significantly improve my marathon performance over the past three years. Coming off a 2:44:05 finish at the 2025 Marine Corps Marathon, I share the training insights, mindset shifts, and small details that made the biggest difference. This isn’t theory - it’s what I’ve learned through experience, mistakes, and consistent work. You’ll walk away with practical, actionable tips you can apply to your own training to start running faster and more efficiently.

In this episode, I break down why I chose The Hone Quarry Ultra as my next race and what makes this 40-mile test so unique. I walk through what the course entails, the demands of the race, and the goals I’ve set for myself going into it. Beyond the physical preparation, I also share why ultra running has become more than just competition for me. I talk honestly about how I feel God calling me to hone in on this space, to pursue the long miles with intention, discipline, and faith. This episode is about obedience, purpose, and trusting the process - on the trail and in life.

In this episode, I sit down with Sonny Jones to talk about my journey in both faith and endurance. The conversation was so meaningful that I asked Sonny if I could share it here on my podcast as well. We dive into what it looks like to start your walk with the Lord, how faith and discipline intersect, and how endurance has shaped my personal journey - both spiritually and physically.

In this episode, Kallup McCoy II opens up about his journey from early addiction to becoming a relentless force for recovery and purpose. As an enrolled citizen of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, Kallup shares how prescribed narcotics led him down a dark path - and how hitting rock bottom in jail became the moment God grabbed hold of his life.

He talks about co-founding ResHope Recovery and Consulting, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting individuals in recovery, and how community, accountability, and faith carry people further than willpower alone. Kallup also breaks down his TransCon run - 2,870 miles in 66 days - and how that effort wasn’t about the finish line, but about raising hope and funds for a mission bigger than himself.

Now coaching athletes and chasing ultra-endurance goals and records, Kallup emphasizes the need for spiritual discipline to match physical discipline, and the power of setting goals that challenge you to become someone new. His story is a reminder that no one is too far gone - with the right support, mindset, and purpose, change is possible.

In this episode, Sean sits down with Zane Musgrave, an ultra runner from a small town in Nebraska with fewer than 200 people, who recently placed second at the BPN Survive the Night 50 Mile Ultra. Zane’s quiet determination and humble approach to the sport have made him stand out - not just as an athlete, but as someone working toward making running and run coaching his full-time pursuit.

They dive into his journey into running, the challenges of ultra racing, and the mental side of pushing through when things get tough. Zane shares how faith and gratitude shape his mindset, how he approaches pacing and nutrition, and what it means to stay grounded while balancing training, work, and life.
