In this episode of the Adapt and Overcome Podcast, host Tommy Hardaway welcomes Stephen Dupart, an active-duty Army Allied Trade Specialist who works as a welder and machinist by day and runs an online personal training business by night. Stephen shares how he transformed his life after once weighing nearly 300 pounds and struggling with fitness and confidence. Stephen opens up about his journey through yo-yo dieting, basic training, and the mindset shift that helped him lose over 120 pounds and regain control of his health. He explains how hiring a coach changed everything for him and why accountability is now the foundation of his own business, Strife Fitness.

He also shares practical advice for anyone stuck in a 9-to-5 job who wants to create extra income or pursue entrepreneurship without feeling overwhelmed.
