Six weeks unable to walk. No running until August. No early-season races to test fitness or confidence.Armstrong didn't race until October 31st. She opened with a second-place finish at the SeaKing District Championships. Days later, she repeated the result at the WIAA 3A State Meet, finishing just behind Mercer Island's Sophia Rodriguez. Then the season stretched. At NXR Northwest in Spokane, Armstrong placed fifth on the new course, earning her first-ever qualification to Nike Cross Nationals.In December, on the sport's biggest stage, she delivered again. Armstrong finished 18th at Nike Cross Nationals, securing All-American honors and closing the year ranked 24th nationally by DyeStat — the second-highest of any high school girl on the West Coast.This season asked for patience. Cassidy trained without proof, raced without momentum, and trusted that the work would show up eventually. When it did, it showed up at the biggest moments.As she looks ahead to Duke and the next chapter of her career, this season stands as proof that timing, belief, and resilience can be just as powerful as raw fitness.Tap into the Cassidy Armstrong Special.Consider leaving a follow and a five-star review.

In this short segment of the Revenue Builders Podcast, we revisit the discussion with Dean Otto, a top-performing enterprise sales rep whose life changed in an instant after being struck by a vehicle while cycling. Given a 2% chance of ever walking again, Dean went on to run a half-marathon just one year later—alongside the man who hit him and the neurosurgeon who operated on him.Through forgiveness, faith, relentless work, and a refusal to isolate, Dean rebuilt not only his body but also a powerful community around him. In this clip, he shares the inside story of meeting the driver, reconciling in the hospital, training against all odds, and ultimately proving what grit and connection can achieve. This excerpt is a masterclass in resilience, leadership, and the compounding power of not going through adversity alone.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:29] The accident that changed everything.Dean's 2% chance of walking again and the comeback mission it sparked.[00:01:14] Forgiveness before reconciliation.Dean had forgiven the driver before ever meeting him — a testament to emotional and spiritual maturity.[00:02:02] Will, the driver, reaches out.The surprising request from the man who hit Dean and how that meeting turned into a two-hour connection.[00:03:21] Rebuilding relationships through shared struggle.Dean, Will, and their families build deep bonds and ultimately commit to running together.[00:03:53] Viral impact & platform responsibility.How Dean's story went viral and why he shifted the focus to helping other spinal cord patients.[00:04:52] Returning to work despite severe injury.Balancing recovery with career identity — including Dean closing deals from his hospital bed.[00:06:21] A doctor becomes a runner.Dean's neurosurgeon trains for his own half marathon to stand beside his patient.[00:07:52] Integrity and sacrifice.Will joins the race despite a heart condition, symbolizing commitment far beyond obligation.[00:09:48] A race about more than racing.Dean breaks two hours by five seconds, proving to himself and others what's possible after trauma.[00:10:24] Going back for your people.Dean and the team return to finish the race with Will — the metaphor for leadership and connection.[00:11:12] Isolation kills progress.Communities, companies, and sellers fail alone — but win together.QUOTES[00:01:14] “When I read that part of your story, I was like, whoa — forgiveness and reconciliation.”[00:07:52] “The integrity and thoughtfulness of this young man was unbelievable.”[00:11:12] “Sellers don't make it in isolation.

And instead of folding, he rebuilt himself into a SWAT enforcer, gang-unit problem-solver, and CrossFit machine. Kody breaks down the moments that rocked him, the honesty that saved him, and the mindset that pulled him out of a 250-pound fog and back into the fight.

This is a time of massive transformation, systems are breaking, hustle culture is broken, nobody wants to wait until some point in the future to be happy. If you are questioning your path, your identity, or your place in this rapidly shifting world — this episode is designed for you.In this very personal 200th episode of The Business Growth Architect Show, I'm going solo and sharing the real story behind what happened after I lost everything in the fire — not the Instagram version, not the polished TED Talk version, but the raw, human truth. It's not pretty. It's confusing, painful, and too big to handle on my own. I talk about the initial shock,  the brutal reality of a piece of yourself missing, living in survival mode, figuring out how to turn aging into wisdom, my fear of feeling obsolete, trying to attempt reinvention at 60.  All leading to the moment I realized I had to rebuild my life and business from the inside out. I'm also sharing the transformation into versin 3.0 and how this experience led me to create something entirely new — a future-focused business model, a SaaS, and even an AI twin.If you've looking to make sense of what you are experiencing or, or quietly hoping something forces you to change… this episode will help you to understand some of the underlying forces.

This week on The Heart of Innovation, we bring you a true story of grit, muscle, and unwavering determination. Meet Deputy John Dent—20 years on the road in West Virginia law enforcement, a body built for durability, and a diagnosis that threatened it all: peripheral artery disease (PAD). He was the guy who'd outrun everyone in the academy at 275 lbs. He was the guy strides ahead of his peers. Then one day his leg seized up in the cruiser. What seemed like a cramp became a blood-clot. A fasciotomy followed. Then the vascular surgeon told him they might have to amputate. "I said, my leg don't need to be cut off," John says. Instead, he dug in. He changed his life. He stayed active. For over a decade, no further surgery. Just gym work, collateral circulation, and refusal to back down. And here's a twist you'll love: during our conversation, John mentions his work intersecting with a West Virginia documentary spotlighting Appalachian realities. (Think Netflix-style rural exposure.) It's a moment where his law-enforcement role met a culture-industry moment—and you'll hear how he processed it. Host Kym McNicholas and Dr. John Phillips walk John through his story—how PAD could've ended his career, his identity, his leg. Instead, it became a mission. Tune in. It's not just a "Save My Piggies" special—it's a "Save My Career, Save My Life" special.

In life, you will get hit. Hard. You will be broken, betrayed, fired, abandoned, and blindsided by things you never saw coming. But this episode is your call to FIGHT — not just for survival, but for your destiny.

On this episode of Bringin' It Backwards, Adam sits down with Zahna—a resilient rock artist whose journey is anything but typical. Born in Monterrey, Mexico, Zahna moved with her family to Ohio before spending a pivotal year in Mexico to reconnect with her roots. After settling in Texas, music quickly became her passion, from musical theater to high school battle of the bands. But Zahna's story goes much deeper than band stages and studio sessions. She opens up about facing—and overcoming—a serious genetic kidney disease, receiving a life-saving transplant from her mom, and navigating the toughest years of her life. Despite setbacks, Zahna turned pain into power, launching her solo career, independently releasing her acclaimed album Stronger Than Death, and—most recently—signing with Brian “Head” Welch's label (yes, from Korn!). In this candid conversation, Zahna shares the highs and lows of her artistic journey, the story behind her explosive single "Pile of Pills," and why authenticity is her greatest strength. If you're a musician hustling to make it or just love hearing what it really takes to chase your dreams, this episode is for you.

When we're in the thick of it and have been there for what feels like far too long, it can be easy to begin to believe the lie that God won't use it and this is a waste or that things will never get better. Or, maybe it's the dark hard things we've been through in the past that we've overcome with God but we just aren't willing to tell anyone yet because we still carry shame not realizing that there is a testimony that's been written there that can carry such power. Friend, God wants to and does use it all for your good and to set others free. Today I discuss how God uses the very things we thought would break us into making us more into the likeness of Him. Take heart -this one will encourage you!WorshipSee A VictoryConnect Website Podcast InstagramPersonal Instagram 

What would you do if the scale flashed “error” because it couldn't register your weight? For most men, that might feel like the end—but for Johnny Muresan, it was day one. In this deeply moving and brutally honest episode, I sit down with the man behind Johnny Goes Running to unpack his staggering 160+ pound weight loss journey, his emotional rock bottom, and how a single painful step forward sparked a complete life transformation.   Johnny shares the realities of chronic pain, food addiction, and near-marital collapse—but more importantly, he walks us through how he reclaimed his health, family, and purpose. From running marathons to rebuilding his marriage and launching a community of hope for other men, this conversation will challenge you to rethink what's possible—no matter where you're starting from.     Episode Timeline Highlights [0:00] – Introduction [1:01] – What would you do if the scale read “error”? Johnny's weight reality check. [3:17] – The painful first step and the mindset shift from victimhood to action. [6:49] – Life at nearly 500 lbs: chronic knee pain, parenting while immobile, and losing hope. [14:06] – The wake-up call: realizing his choices were writing his kids' future.

[51:32] – His upcoming book Run Your Life and what it means to take up space where you don't feel you belong.     5 Key Takeaways   1. Rock Bottom is a Starting Line – Johnny didn't wait until he was “ready” or “fit”—he started while in pain, overweight, and discouraged. 2. Living for Your Kids Means Showing Up – Johnny's breakthrough came when he realized he'd die for his kids—but wasn't willing to live for them. 3. Small Wins Compound – From diet soda swaps to walking just a few minutes, Johnny's journey was built on gradual, sustainable steps. 4. Leading by Example Changes Everything – His transformation didn't just affect him—it rewired his entire family's emotional, physical, and relational health. 5.
