In this special highlight reel, we revisit the most unforgettable moments from the past few months of Ageless Athlete. These are stories that stuck with me—narratives that challenged how I think about fear, recovery, aging, and what the human body (and spirit) can do when fully committed.

You’ll hear:

• A nurse in her 50s swimming 30 miles through 43-degree water toward the Farallon Islands—without a wetsuit.
• A son running beside his father through the fog of Alzheimer’s.
• An ultra-runner finding joy mid-chemo.
• A solo paddleboard crossing of the Atlantic Ocean.
• Affirmations taped to walls that became lifelines.
• And reminders that fear, suffering, and setbacks are often the path itself.

If you're new here, this episode is a great introduction to what Ageless Athlete is all about. And if you're a regular, this is a chance to revisit the stories that deserve a second listen.
