Grief changes you. Loss—whether it’s health, identity, a loved one, or the life you thought you’d have—leaves scars that never fully go away. In this episode of Through the Crucible, I open up about the role grief has played in my journey, and how I’ve learned to carry it instead of letting it crush me.

We’ll talk about why most men don’t process loss in healthy ways, how athletes often avoid grief by burying themselves in performance, and what it really means to grow stronger because of the pain. If you’ve faced grief, trauma, or loss, this conversation is about finding strength in the fire.

Strength isn’t just measured in the gym—it’s tested in everyday life. In this episode, I share how my definition of strength changed after my health crisis, and why real power comes from resilience, discipline, and identity. Athletes, coaches, and fathers will learn how to build lasting strength that goes far beyond muscle.

Surviving my time on life support was only the beginning. The real challenge came afterward—rebuilding my body, mind, and identity from the ground up. In this episode, I break down the Comeback Mindset: the framework I used to recover from a near-death experience and turn weakness into strength.

Whether you’re an athlete facing injuries, a father learning resilience, or someone fighting through life’s toughest setbacks, this episode gives you practical tools to rise again. You’ll learn why motivation isn’t enough, how to close the gap between intention and action, and how to turn adversity into fuel for growth.

This is more than a comeback—it’s a blueprint for becoming unbreakable.
