  • Trauma, Addiction, Fitness & Finding Yourself | Fiona Marshall | I Am Redemption | Shawn Livingston
    Apr 7 2026

    Fiona Marshall opens up in a way most people never do.


    From trauma and addiction… to losing herself completely… to rebuilding from the inside out. But what makes Fiona different isn’t just fitness. nIt’s how she uses it. As a certified trainer working out of places like Squatch Frontier Fitness, Fiona has built a reputation in the Austin community for creating a space that’s not just about getting stronger physically… but mentally and emotionally too.


    Her message is simple, but powerful: You don’t just train your body… you reconnect with yourself. Through movement, breath, discipline, and consistency… she’s found a way to ground herself, rebuild her identity, and help others do the same. And if you’ve ever met her, you know exactly what she brings: The energy. The presence. The high fives. The smile that makes people feel seen. But behind that is a story of pain, resilience, and choosing to show up anyway. This episode is about what it really looks like to lose yourself… and the work it takes to find your way back. If you’ve ever felt disconnected, stuck, or like you’re starting over… This one will hit.

  • The Real Reason People Run | Austin Marathon Expo Stories | I Am Redemption | Shawn Livingston
    Mar 18 2026

    What makes someone run 26.2 miles?


    At the Austin Marathon Expo, we sat down with runners from all walks of life and asked one simple question:


    Why do you run?


    The answers were deeper than we expected For some, running is discipline, for others, it’s healing, purpose, community, or even survival.


    This is what I Am Redemption is all about, real people, real stories, and the power of turning pain into purpose


    I Am Redemption was honored to be selected as an official nonprofit partner of the Austin Marathon


    This year, we had 12 runners take on their first ever half and full marathons, representing something bigger than themselves


    We also showed up in a major way on race day, with over 75 volunteers at the Mile 1 water station on Congress Avenue, overlooking the Texas State Capitol


    From the expo to the course, this wasn’t just about running


    It was about community

    It was about showing people what’s possible

    It was about building something bigger than ourselves


    I Am Redemption is more than a podcast.

    It’s a movement focused on recovery, fitness, purpose, and community


    We are continuing to grow, show up, and impact lives both online and in the real world

  • Ep. 117 Guarding President Trump, Special Ops Missions, Faith Under Fire | Clayton McMurry | I Am Redemption
    Mar 3 2026

    This week on I Am Redemption, Shawn Livingston sits down with Air Force Special Operations veteran Clayton McMurry for one of the most powerful conversations we’ve had to date.

    Clayton shares what it was like guarding President Donald Trump, deploying on high level missions, and operating inside the world of Special Forces.

    We talk about the global cave rescue mission that captured the attention of the world and what it feels like to go on mission when the stakes are life and death. But this episode goes deeper.

    Clayton opens up about watching his brother battle myocarditis and the hope he continues to see as his brother fights to regain strength.

    We dive into his water company, the personal battles he has faced, and how his faith in God continues to fuel his mission.

    This is about brotherhood. This is about leadership. This is about purpose under pressure.


    This is I Am Redemption. Built different by pain. Powered different by purpose. We are what comes after.

  • Ep. 116 Service Industry Secrets | From Felonies to Finish Lines | Brady McNamer | I Am Redemption
    Feb 24 2026

    Service Industry Secrets. Multiple Felonies. Finish Lines.


    In this episode of I Am Redemption, Shawn Livingston sits down with Brady McNamar to unpack what really happens inside the service industry world… and what it takes to climb out when drugs and alcohol take control. Brady came up in the heart of the nightlife and restaurant scene. Fast money. Long nights. Party culture. Until the consequences caught up. Multiple felonies later, everything changed when the woman in his life drew a line in the sand. That moment became the turning point. Now Brady is a beacon for recovery inside the service industry community in Austin and beyond. Through running, discipline, and community, he rebuilt his life from chaos to clarity.


    In this conversation we break down: • The truth about nightlife and service industry culture • When partying turns into addiction • Facing felony charges and the fallout • The moment someone refuses to enable you • How running became the foundation of transformation • The power of accountability and community • What it means to be part of I Am Redemption


    This episode is for anyone in the service industry. Anyone battling addiction. Anyone who thinks their past disqualifies them.


    Your past does not define your future.
