KEEP YOURSELF IN THE FIGHT

EP 10 KEEP YOURSELF IN THE FIGHT — ZACH LEVER What happens when the battle ends... but the fight inside you doesn't? Zach Lever has spent much of his life learning how to keep moving forward. A retired Army Command Sergeant Major, Zach served through combat deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, experienced loss on the battlefield, underwent open-heart surgery, and spent decades leading soldiers through situations most of us can barely imagine. Then retirement brought a different kind of battlefield. Zach found ultrarunning. Hundreds of miles. Days without adequate sleep. Pain. Exhaustion. And those dark moments when your own mind starts negotiating with you to surrender. In this episode of Fight Like David, Cowbell Rob and Brock sit down with Zach to talk about the connection between suffering and healing, the mental battles that follow us home, leadership, family, patriotism, and why Zach intentionally continues putting himself in uncomfortable situations. Zach also shares the incredible story of joining Team RWB for a record-setting 3,000-mile run across America carrying the American flag — and his battle through the Salt and Sulfur 420. But underneath the medals, military service and finish lines is something much bigger: Learning to keep yourself in the fight. Sometimes your Goliath is standing right in front of you. Sometimes it's something you've carried home from the battlefield. And sometimes it's that voice inside your own head telling you it's time to surrender. Zach's message is simple: When your back is against the wall, fight. Keep moving. Keep growing. Keep surrounding yourself with good people. And above all... Keep yourself in the fight. ⚔️ Fight Like David — Every Giant Falls. Have you overcome a giant and want to share your story? We'd love to hear from you.
