Why I Started Keep Pushing, and the Phone Call That Changed My Life
from Keep Pushing with Brandon DesJarlais · host Brandon DesJarlais
In this first episode of Keep Pushing, I share the story behind the podcast and the experiences that shaped its message. I open up about nearly quitting my dream of being a sponsored skateboarder, getting the unexpected call to stunt double for Vin Diesel in xXx: Return of Xander Cage, and how that moment changed the way I think about persistence, fear, and opportunity. I also reflect on identity, uncertainty, personal growth, and why this show exists: to share honest stories of resilience, adversity, and the life-changing moments that often show up right after most people would have quit.Follow Keep PushingInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/keeppushingpodcast/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuWmmT-3aLBe5jmH0o99GlzgR8owdyiht
