Become the Victor Podcast

Emma Victoria thought the lump she felt at the gym was an injury. Weeks later, she was confronting stage IV breast cancer, a prognosis she says gave her a few months to live. Before her diagnosis, she had a business for nearly 10 years, managing staff and clients.Today, Emma says she is living differently. She values peace over material things, has learned to put herself first, supports other cancer patients who contact her online, and is writing a book about survival, hope, faith, and what it means to rise after reaching some of life’s darkest places.Learn More About Their Story:https://Victortheinspiration.com/blogs/become-the-victor-podcast/EmmaVictoriaEpisode30Connect with Emma Victoria:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emma_victoriaj/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@emmavictoria_jHelp Emma Fight Cancer:https://www.mycause.com.au/page/371040/my-cancer-fight-continuesWebsite:https://linktr.ee/emmavictoria28Latest Interviews | Become the Victor:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTfKsun2o3kw&si=i6KCe4ajkNRrVN6iChapters:00:00 Emma’s Diagnosis Shock02:00 Life Before Cancer06:18 The Lump She Thought Was a Gym Injury08:40 Three Months to Live and Seeking Answers12:34 Choosing to Fight14:59 Cancer, Heartbreak, and Finding Faith Again19:20 Why Emma Shared Her Cancer Journey Online29:31 The Hardest Battle39:06 Isolation, Self-Love, and Becoming Someone New47:19 Writing Her Book and Leaving Hope Behind#BecometheVictor#EmmaVictoria#CancerAwarenessTune into Become the Victor Podcast:Listen on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@BecometheVictorListen on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/become-the-victor/id1892258845Listen on Amazon Music:https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/d360ddd7-158d-47ae-8505-acecb401dd77/become-the-victor-podcastListen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/0iENHZM8O9XROSTgEwTEnZ?si=067c01d40784426dListen on iHeartRadio:https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1333-become-the-victor-podcast-330696431Connect with Me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Victortheinspiration/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@VictortheinspirationWebsite:https://Victortheinspiration.com/My book, Become the Victor: Turning Trials into Triumph, tells my personal journey and offers guidance for anyone who feels stuck, discouraged, or unsure how to move forward.

There are dreams people discover for themselves, and there are dreams that begin generations earlier. For Joy Ndombeson, the path from a small village in Congo to growing a life in acting, writing, directing, music, and filmmaking is inseparable from the father who first taught him to believe that where a person begins does not have to determine where they ultimately go.Joy lost the man who helped make his entire journey possible and for a period of his life, he did not know if he wanted to keep living without him. What followed was a painful journey through grief, therapy, shattered faith, creative rebirth, and the decision to keep carrying his father’s legacy forward.Learn More About Their Story:https://Victortheinspiration.com/blogs/become-the-victor-podcast/JoyNdombesonEpisode29Connect with Joy Ndombeson:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyndombeson/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/NdombesonProductions/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@NdombesonProductionsWebsite:https://www.ndombesonproductions.com/Latest Interviews | Become the Victor:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTfKsun2o3kw&si=i6KCe4ajkNRrVN6iChapters:00:00 His Father’s Sudden Passing Changed Everything02:14 Art Became His Universal Language05:02 The Father Who Taught Him Where You Start Doesn’t Define You10:01 Living the Artistic Dream His Father Had to Sacrifice13:14 Losing His Father and Entering His Darkest Season17:22 The Friends, Therapist, and Support That Helped Save His Life24:56 How HOPE and IN COLOR Ignited His Acting Career32:27 Three Generations of Grief, Forgiveness, and Healing35:20 Congo Gave Him the Story...

Football was once Eric Niederberger’s entire identity, but when that chapter ended, the decisions he made afterward began taking his life somewhere dangerous. Years later, the former Division I athlete can look back on substance abuse, a DUI, financial hardship, painful losses, and moments when he genuinely questioned where his life was headed and see the experiences that forced him to change.In today’s episode, Eric talks about how discipline became something he needed rather than something that simply motivated him. After suffering a severe injury while preparing for a different career path, he eventually found competitive bodybuilding, endured a 36 week preparation for his first show, placed first, and became fascinated in the process. Today, he is a bodybuilder pursuing professional status while balancing a career in logistics, coaching, marriage, and fatherhood.Learn More About Their Story:https://victortheinspiration.com/blogs/become-the-victor-podcast/EricNiederbergerEpisode28Connect with Eric Niederberger:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eric_gatlin5/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@EricGatlin5LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-niederberger-a90873320/Website:https://linktr.ee/Gatlin5Latest Interviews | Become the Victor:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTfKsun2o3kw&si=i6KCe4ajkNRrVN6iChapters:00:00 From a D1 Dream to a Dangerous Crossroads01:26 When Football Became His Entire Identity04:13 Concussions, Substance Abuse, and Losing a Friend09:17 The Xanax Scare, DUI, and Choosing to Change17:34 Why Discipline Became a Matter of Survival21:09 What Him Toward Bodybuilding25:36 Rock Bottom, Failure, and Refusing to Quit33:29 From a 1.8 GPA to a Full Ride D1 Scholarship41:17 His Father, Marriage, and a Life Changing Birth55:01 Why He Almost Quit Bodybuilding and What Comes Next#BecometheVictor#EricNiederberger#BodybuildingTune into Become the Victor Podcast:Listen on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@BecometheVictorListen on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/become-the-victor/id1892258845Listen on Amazon Music:https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/d360ddd7-158d-47ae-8505-acecb401dd77/become-the-victor-podcastListen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/0iENHZM8O9XROSTgEwTEnZ?si=067c01d40784426dListen on iHeartRadio:https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1333-become-the-victor-podcast-330696431Connect with Me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Victortheinspiration/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@VictortheinspirationWebsite:https://Victortheinspiration.com/My book, Become the Victor: Turning Trials into Triumph, tells my personal journey and offers guidance for anyone who feels stuck, discouraged, or unsure how to move forward.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Alex Barajas, who shares how his early life, his father’s entrepreneurial resilience, and his own search for freedom shaped the work he does today. Alex was born in Mexico, came to the United States as a child, grew up in California, and watched his father lose everything during the recession — including a season where the family had no running water, no electricity, and survived on beans and tortillas. Instead of quitting, his father rebuilt, and that planted the seed of entrepreneurship in his life.Alex explains why credit is more than a number, why business funding requires discipline, why borrowed money should never be treated as free money, and how financial literacy can help people create options for their future. He also opens up about working as a recruiter and realizing that many people were returning to the workforce past retirement age because they never built something they controlled for themselves.Learn More About Their Story:https://Victortheinspiration.com/blogs/become-the-victor-podcast/AlexBarajasEpisode27Connect with Alex Barajas:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexcreditxpert/ TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@alexcreditxpertYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@alexcreditxpertLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexcreditxpert/Website:https://astonnova-university.com/Latest Interviews | Become the Victor:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTfKsun2o3kw&si=i6KCe4ajkNRrVN6iChapters:00:00 Credit is More Than a Number01:17 From Mexico to California02:35 Pandemic, No Job, and the Rent Crisis That Started it03:35 Seeing the Safe Path Break Down05:33 His Father Lost Everything and Rebuilt07:22 Using Credit Responsibly Under Pressure11:40 Becoming Confident Enough to Teach14:16 What Banks Look for Beyond a Credit Score26:05 Who Should Not Touch $100K in Funding34:23 Starting Over Without Financial Shame#BecometheVictor#AlexBarajas#FinancialFreedomTune into Become the Victor Podcast:Listen on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@BecometheVictorListen on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/become-the-victor/id1892258845Listen on Amazon Music:https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/d360ddd7-158d-47ae-8505-acecb401dd77/become-the-victor-podcastListen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/0iENHZM8O9XROSTgEwTEnZ?si=067c01d40784426dListen on iHeartRadio:https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1333-become-the-victor-podcast-330696431Connect with Me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Victortheinspiration/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@VictortheinspirationWebsite:https://Victortheinspiration.com/My book, Become the Victor: Turning Trials into Triumph, tells my personal journey and offers guidance for anyone who feels stuck, discouraged, or unsure how to move forward.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Promise Aureila, who grew up moving through adoption, foster care, group homes, changing schools, emotional abuse, abandonment, and childhood trauma. Instead of allowing that past to silence her, she began writing the characters and cinematic worlds that helped her imagine a different future.Promise shares how she began acting, studied the business of the entertainment industry, took acting classes, and eventually booked her first short film. When opportunities did not immediately arrive, she decided not to wait for permission. She began writing her own stories.Learn More About Their Story:https://victortheinspiration.com/blogs/become-the-victor-podcast/PromiseAureilaEpisode26Connect with Promise Aureila:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iampromiseee/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@iampromiseeeYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@PromisetheeActressWebsite:https://linktr.ee/PromiseMcClainBecome the Victor | Complete Interview Series:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhuwnO_369gsaifZ0YkajPVDpTcN5hoOQChapters:00:00 “You’re Going to See Me”01:55 Adoption, Foster Care, Group Homes, and Abandonment03:56 How Therapy, Journaling, and Music Helped Her 06:06 The Childhood Dream Becoming an Actress08:26 Creating from Her Own Pain11:44 Why Promise Believes Love Must Be Proven15:06 Feeling Misunderstood and Creating a Chosen Family17:30 Ambition, Patience, and Refusing to Quit21:32 Self-Harm, Visible Scars, and Finding Confidence27:24 Leaving the Past Behind#BecometheVictor#PromiseAureila#ActressJourneyTune into Become the Victor Podcast:Listen on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@BecometheVictorListen on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/become-the-victor/id1892258845Listen on Amazon Music:https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/d360ddd7-158d-47ae-8505-acecb401dd77/become-the-victor-podcastListen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/0iENHZM8O9XROSTgEwTEnZ?si=067c01d40784426dListen on iHeartRadio:https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1333-become-the-victor-podcast-330696431Connect with Me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Victortheinspiration/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@VictortheinspirationWebsite:https://Victortheinspiration.com/My book, Become the Victor: Turning Trials into Triumph, tells my personal journey and offers guidance for anyone who feels stuck, discouraged, or unsure how to move forward.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Amberley Snyder, who shares the real story behind her journey as a champion barrel racer, keynote speaker, author, and the inspiration behind the Netflix film Walk. Ride. Rodeo. Amberley talks about the 2010 accident that broke her back and injured her spinal cord, the moment she thought she might not survive, and the long process of rebuilding a life that still included horses, competition, faith, love, and purpose.Amberley highlights how family, faith, and horses became the three things that helped pull her through. She reflects on getting back on a horse just four months after the accident, returning to competition 18 months later, and becoming the only professional paralyzed barrel racer in the United States. She also shares what people often miss about strength, why bad days are still part of resilience, how her horses understand emotions that people may never see, and what it felt like to watch her life become a movie.Learn More About Their Story:https://victortheinspiration.com/blogs/become-the-victor-podcast/the-woman-behind-netflix-s-true-story-walk-ride-rodeo-amberley-snyderConnect with Amberley Snyder:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amberleysnyder/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/amberley.snyder1/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@amberleysnyder_YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@AmberleySnyderWebsite:https://amberleysnyder.org/Book:https://amberleysnyder.org/walk-ride-rodeo/Become the Victor | Complete Interview Series:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhuwnO_369gsaifZ0YkajPVDpTcN5hoOQChapters:00:00 The Accident That Made Life Start Over01:54 Who Amberley Snyder is Beyond the Movie03:54 The Crash She Still Remembers06:42 Family, Faith, and Horses Pulled Her Through09:38 Why She Wouldn’t Change That Day11:34 Refusing to Let the Wheelchair Decide Her Future14:17 Finding Love and Being Seen Beyond the Chair17:06 How Her Accident Changed Her Family Too20:19 The Private Strength Behind Her Public Comeback26:21 Walk.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Jessica Lattman (JeLa), who is both a surgeon and an artist, using her hands to help heal the body and her voice to help heal the unseen wounds people carry deep within. Beyond the operating room and recording studio, she is a devoted wife, a mother of three, and a survivor of childhood emotional abuse. In this deeply vulnerable conversation, JeLa opens up about the complicated intersection of trauma, therapy, family, medicine, music, and the courageous work of reclaiming a life once shaped by pain.She reflects on growing up in an emotionally abusive and isolating home where she often felt unseen, unheard, and disconnected from the love every child deserves. She talks about what led her to make the life changing decision to separate from her parents and also shares how therapy helped her rebuild who she is, how the love of her husband and children became an essential part of her healing journey, and how her desire to become a doctor may have been deeply connected to the wounds she carried from childhood. Through medicine, motherhood, and music, JeLa has discovered that healing others can sometimes begin with finally learning how to heal yourself.Learn More About Their Story:https://victortheinspiration.com/blogs/become-the-victor-podcast/from-childhood-trauma-to-surgeon-and-singer-with-24-million-streams-jelaConnect with Jessica Lattman (JeLa):Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/officialjela/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/itsjelaofficial/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@officialjelaYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@JeLa_MusicWebsite:https://jelamusic.com/Apple Music:https://music.apple.com/us/artist/jela/510801429Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/artist/5wiDn420KFBNE820kOUGft?si=1VlqBF1mSymEsPAQxUeH4ABecome the Victor | Complete Interview Series:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhuwnO_369gsaifZ0YkajPVDpTcN5hoOQChapters:0:00 JeLa’s Journey 1:51 Who is JeLa?5:12 Speaking Openly About Childhood Trauma7:35 Why She Became a Doctor10:28 Navigating Surgery as a Woman13:02 How Perfectionism Came from Survival15:19 From Medicine to Music22:03 Balancing Surgeon, Artist, Wife, and Mother31:06 The Stories Behind JeLa’s Songs55:10 What Really Matters to JeLaTune into Become the Victor Podcast:Listen on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@BecometheVictorListen on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/become-the-victor/id1892258845Listen on Amazon Music:https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/d360ddd7-158d-47ae-8505-acecb401dd77/become-the-victor-podcastListen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/0iENHZM8O9XROSTgEwTEnZ?si=067c01d40784426dListen on iHeartRadio:https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1333-become-the-victor-podcast-330696431Connect with Me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Victortheinspiration/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@VictortheinspirationWebsite:https://Victortheinspiration.com/My Life with SMA:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXeepRh23LFqpR6iOdsaVjgYaeRX5u_ePMy book, Become the Victor: Turning Trials into Triumph, tells my personal journey and offers guidance for anyone who feels stuck, discouraged, or unsure how to move forward.

Hayden opens up about starting young, mowing lawns as a kid, discovering online business, building through Shopify and e-commerce, moving to California at 17, investing in real estate, and learning how to stay consistent through pressure, failure, and uncertainty.This conversation goes beyond money and business. Hayden talks about losing hundreds of thousands of dollars, sacrificing his personal life for success, learning how to control his perspective, surrounding himself with the right people, and building a life around discipline, freedom, and personal growth. His story is a powerful reminder that the unconventional path is not always easy, but with consistency, self-belief, and the right mindset, failure can become training for you.Learn More About Their Story:https://victortheinspiration.com/blogs/become-the-victor-podcast/hayden-bowles-the-power-of-taking-the-unconventional-pathConnect with Hayden Bowles:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realhayden/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@bowleshaydenX:https://x.com/bowlescapitalYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@HaydenBowlesWebsite:https://linktr.ee/bowlesChapters:0:00 Learning from Failure0:44 High School Dropout to Entrepreneur1:25 Before the Success4:57 Where His Ambition Came From5:34 How to Start a Business7:25 Betting on Himself10:36 Learning E-Commerce14:06 Staying Calm Through Chaos17:14 Getting in the Right Rooms26:50 Life Outside of BusinessTune into “Become the Victor Podcast” on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify, and iHeartRadio:https://victortheinspiration.com/blogs/victortheinspiration/become-the-victor-podcastThe Meaning of “Become the Victor”: To become the victor means to conquer your own story and to find strength and meaning in the bad and ugly seasons of life, turning your trials into triumph.My book, Become the Victor: Turning Trials into Triumph, tells my personal journey and offers guidance for anyone who feels stuck, discouraged, or unsure how to move forward.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Joshua Holi, who shares his incredible journey from growing up without a father figure, falling into the streets, running away from home at 16, facing violence, being on the run as a fugitive for 13 months, and serving five years in prison — to rebuilding his life with faith, accountability, discipline, and purpose.Joshua opens up about the mindset that led him down a destructive path, the moment prison forced him to face himself, and how reading, education, faith, and helping others helped him become a new man. Today, he is a motivational creator, mindset coach, public speaker, runner, and someone using his story to help others build confidence and believe that their story is not over.Learn More About Their Story:https://victortheinspiration.com/blogs/become-the-victor-podcast/joshua-holi-was-on-the-run-for-13-months-then-everything-changedConnect with Joshua Holi:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/know_vember/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/joshua.holi.1/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@know_vemberLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuaholi/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@Know_vemberWebsite:https://www.joshuaholi.com/Become the Victor | Complete Interview Series:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhuwnO_369gsaifZ0YkajPVDpTcN5hoOQChapters:0:00 “Your Story is Not Over”1:40 Joshua Holi Shares His Life Story3:05 How Young People Fall into the Wrong Crowd8:30 The Night That Changed Everything11:10 Life on the Run as a Fugitive14:33 Facing Prison and a New Reality18:35 The Mindset Shift That Started His Transformation21:51 How Faith Helped Joshua Rebuild His Life28:01 Finding Purpose Through Helping Others33:08 Creating a New FutureTune into “Become the Victor Podcast” on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify, and iHeartRadio:https://victortheinspiration.com/blogs/victortheinspiration/become-the-victor-podcastThe Meaning of “Become the Victor”: To become the victor means to conquer your own story and to find strength and meaning in the bad and ugly seasons of life, turning your trials into triumph.My book, Become the Victor: Turning Trials into Triumph, tells my personal journey and offers guidance for anyone who feels stuck, discouraged, or unsure how to move forward.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Sarah Elizabeth Segrest, a Vietnamese-born adoptee, triathlete, endurance athlete, and history-making competitor whose story goes far beyond the finish line. Sarah opens up about being born in Vietnam, adopted into the United States, navigating racism, identity, family, faith, and the emotional weight of wondering where she truly belonged. After moving to Texas during a difficult season in her life, Sarah discovered triathlon with almost no experience—no bike, limited swimming ability, and barely able to run a 5K without stopping.What began as a personal challenge became a life-changing journey. Sarah went on to become the first Vietnamese-born woman to win a USA Triathlon Texas State Championship title, but her greatest victory came when that historic moment helped lead her back to her birth mother in Vietnam.

Before millions of people saw him on AGT, he spent 13 years grinding in comedy clubs, small towns, difficult rooms, and uncertain seasons where quitting would have made sense.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Rob Kenney, better known as Dad, How Do I and widely recognized as the Internet’s Dad.Rob’s story is much deeper than helpful tutorials and everyday life advice. After growing up without the fatherly presence he needed, he made a decision to become the kind of dad, mentor, and guide that so many people wish they had. Through Dad, How Do I, Rob has reached millions with practical wisdom, encouragement, fatherly advice, and a message that reminds people they are not alone.In this powerful interview, we talk about his father's absence, healing, forgiveness, purpose, faith, fatherhood, and what it means to turn pain into service. Rob opens up about the heart behind his mission, why his content connected with so many people, and how becoming “the Internet’s Dad” became more than just a title... it became a calling.Learn More About Their Story:https://victortheinspiration.com/blogs/become-the-victor-podcast/dad-how-do-i-why-millions-call-him-the-internet-s-dadConnect with Dad, How Do I (Rob Kenney):Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dadhowdoi/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/dadhowdoi/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@therealdadhowdoiYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@DadhowdoI/Get His Book:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0063074990/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0063074990&linkCode=as2&tag=dadhowdoi-20&linkId=165d5e0a2333eb624f88f35151ea3f72Become the Victor | Complete Interview Series:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhuwnO_369gsaifZ0YkajPVDpTcN5hoOQTune into “Become the Victor Podcast” on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and Spotify:https://victortheinspiration.com/blogs/victortheinspiration/become-the-victor-podcastThe Meaning of “Become the Victor”: To become the victor means to conquer your own story and to find strength and meaning in the bad and ugly seasons of life, turning your trials into triumph.My book, Become the Victor: Turning Trials into Triumph, tells my personal journey and offers guidance for anyone who feels stuck, discouraged, or unsure how to move forward.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Mark Valeriote, a calisthenics athlete, fitness coach, entrepreneur, husband, father, and Beast Games competitor whose story is a powerful reminder of what can happen when discipline replaces excuses.Before competing on one of the biggest game shows in the world, Mark was an overweight teenager who spent his days playing video games, struggling with confidence, and searching for direction.

In this video, I sit down with Tanner Planes, an entrepreneur, e-commerce operator, and co-founder of ShipVelocity, a fulfillment and logistics company that has helped generate over $300 million in client revenue. But Tanner’s story didn’t begin in warehouses, business partnerships, or scaling brands—it began as a young kid in a small town with big ambition, experimenting with business ideas long before most people even knew what entrepreneurship looked like.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Kevin Schaefer (@kevinschaefer19) — a writer, journalist, and disability advocate living with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA Type 2) — to unpack the real journey behind confidence, independence, and finding your voice.

In this video, I sit down with competitive adaptive athlete and man of faith Zack Ruhl (@pitbullruhll) for a raw, hilarious, and powerful conversation about what it truly means to become stronger than your circumstances. From being born with a deformity and enduring 28+ surgeries by his teens, to skating through school, fighting for a chance to play football, and refusing to live under pity—Zack shares the mindset that kept him moving when life tried to stop him.We also discuss the discipline behind his legendary 501 lb USPA bench press, the failures it took to earn it, and the faith that anchored him through setbacks, doubt, and pressure.Learn More About Their Story:https://victortheinspiration.com/blogs/become-the-victor-podcast/zack-ruhl-on-discipline-faith-and-never-quittingConnect with Zack Ruhl:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pitbullruhll/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@zackpitbullruhlBecome the Victor | Complete Interview Series:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhuwnO_369gsaifZ0YkajPVDpTcN5hoOQThe Meaning of “Become the Victor”: To become the victor means to conquer your own story and to find strength and meaning in the bad and ugly seasons of life, turning your trials into triumph.My book, Become the Victor: Turning Trials into Triumph, tells my personal journey and offers guidance for anyone who feels stuck, discouraged, or unsure how to move forward.
