🎙️Taking Chances: Why Not You? Episode Featuring Brandon Bartz

What do you get when you mix adrenaline, vision, grit—and just a little bit of crazy? You get Brandon Bartz.

In this episode of Taking Chances – Why Not You? I sat down with the guy who never outgrew the wild side. From motocross tracks to trail runs, from launching four CrossFit gyms across the Quad Cities to leading races as a director, Brandon is a one-man movement. He helped bring CrossFit to a whole region, sparked a fitness community of over 500 strong, and still finds time to be a husband, a dad to three and a man driven by deep faith.

But the story doesn’t stop there. Brandon’s path is anything but linear—it’s bold, unpredictable, and packed with purpose. Whether he’s sprinting through singletrack or spinning on two wheels with a biking habit he just can’t quit, this trailblazer has a knack for doing things differently... and doing them big.

Tune in as we explore what happens when you say yes to the chaos, take the leap, and bet on your own transformation. This one’s fast, raw, and full of heart. Let’s ride. 🏁
