  • Will McCloy - Finding Your Voice
    For years, Will McCloy was the one telling other people’s stories. A voice of triathlon, a broadcaster, a sharp and confident presence. But behind that voice was a kid who never felt safe, never felt enough, and never truly believed he deserved to be heard.In this special episode, Will steps out from behind the mic and opens up about the parts of his life he has never spoken about publicly. From the trauma of childhood bullying and identity loss after injury to the years spent numbing, drifting, and trying to prove his worth through performance and success.This is a story about silence, shame, and the slow work of learning to like yourself. About fatherhood, fear, and finding purpose. And about what happens when you finally stop hiding and start speaking your truth.Follow us on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.endurersYou can follow Tim at https://www.instagram.com/tford14 You can follow Will at https://www.instagram.com/will_mccloy Need support?

  • Nicola Spirig - Permission to Want More
    Even Olympic champions can struggle to say what they really want. In this episode, Nicola Spirig reflects on the fear that came with ambition, not just the pressure to perform but the discomfort of admitting she wanted to win.Shaped by cultural expectations and a deep fear of failure, it took years and the right people around her to give herself permission to dream big. She shares how her perspective changed over five Olympic Games, how becoming a mother redefined her priorities, and why silver meant just as much as gold.This is a conversation about identity, legacy, and the quiet courage it takes to want more and say it out loud.Follow us on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.endurersYou can follow Tim at https://www.instagram.com/tford14 You can follow Will at https://www.instagram.com/will_mccloy You can follow Nicola at https://www.instagram.com/nicolaspirigofficialNeed support?

  • Tim Don - The Scars You Can’t See
    A moment completely out of Tim Don’s control changed everything and forced him to live through some of his worst fears. Hit by a car while training, he broke his neck and spent months in a halo brace. But it wasn’t the physical injury that stayed with him. It was the fear, the silence, and the sudden loss of control.In this conversation, Tim opens up about the trauma that followed, the fear of losing everything, and the emotional scars that don’t heal as easily as broken bones. He shares what it took to keep going, how he found strength when it felt like there was none left, and why the hardest battles are often the ones no one else can see.This episode is about survival, fear, identity, and the resilience it takes to rebuild yourself from the inside out.Follow us on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.endurersYou can follow Tim at https://www.instagram.com/tford14 You can follow Will at https://www.instagram.com/will_mccloy You can follow Tim Don at https://www.instagram.com/tri_thedonNeed support?

  • Jamie Riddle - Redefining What It Means to Win
    South African triathlete Jamie Riddle has never shied away from speaking the truth, especially when it comes to the uncomfortable parts of chasing success. In this deeply personal conversation, Jamie opens up about the emotional toll of Olympic disappointment, the crushing weight of self-imposed expectations, and how he nearly lost himself in the process.From spiritual awakening to building mental resilience, Jamie shares how he found strength not in results but in vulnerability, faith, and community. He talks candidly about identity, burnout, and the burden of being a public voice for others, and explains why learning to let go became his most powerful tool for growth.This isn’t a story about medals. It’s a story about meaning, about redefining success on your own terms and what it really takes to endure when the finish line keeps moving.Follow us on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.endurersYou can follow Tim at https://www.instagram.com/tford14 You can follow Will at https://www.instagram.com/will_mccloy You can follow Jamie at https://www.instagram.com/jamie__riddleNeed support?
