Become the Victor Podcast

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.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Ryan Niemiller, the stand-up comedian known as The Cripple Threat of Comedy and a 3rd-place finalist on America’s Got Talent Season 14.Ryan’s story is more than just comedy. 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. He opens up about growing up with a disability in both arms, using humor to navigate life, the mental battles behind confidence, and what it really took to keep chasing comedy when the dream did not happen overnight.Connect with Ryan Niemiller (Cripple Threat):Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cripplethreat8/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cripplethreat8/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@cripplethreat8/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@CrippleThreat8/Website:https://www.cripplethreat.com/Cameo:https://www.cameo.com/cripplethreat8Become the Victor | Complete Interview Series:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhuwnO_369gsaifZ0YkajPVDpTcN5hoOQChapters:0:00 - Ryan Niemiller’s 13-Year Grind Before AGT2:40 - Welcome Ryan Niemiller 5:14 - Growing Up Different and Finding Humor11:36 - The Mental Battle Behind Confidence14:00 - Did Disability Shape Ryan’s Comedy?21:21 - Staying Real Instead of Being “Inspirational”28:25 - The Five-Year Road to America’s Got Talent37:25 - “Too Stupid to Quit” and the Price of Comedy39:36 - Ryan’s AGT Top 3 Moments53:08 - Rapid Fire, Backstage Stories, and Life After AGTTune 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 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.

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. From selling products in school to discovering dropshipping as a teenager, Tanner became obsessed with the idea of creating freedom through business and building something bigger than himself.But behind the revenue, the wins, and the success people see online, Tanner’s journey has also been filled with risk, failure, pressure, self-doubt, and lessons learned the hard way. He’s gone broke, rebuilt, navigated seasons people never saw, and continued showing up through it all.Connect with Tanner Planes:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tannerplanes/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tannerr/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@tannerplanesWebsite:https://shipvelocity.com/Chapters:0:00 Meet Tanner Planes2:22 The Story Before Success6:20 The $18,000 Sales Day That Changed Everything10:15 Learning Dropshipping Through YouTube & Self-Education18:05 Doubt, Family Pressure & Proving the Vision28:05 His Grandma Became His First Investor33:00 Going Broke Multiple Times & Lessons Learned45:20 The ShipVelocity Story51:25 Physical Products vs Digital Products53:30 Consistency Wins, 75 Hard & Rapid-Fire QuestionsTune into “Become the Victor Podcast” on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and Spotify:https://victortheinspiration.com/blogs/victortheinspiration/become-the-victor-podcastSimply search “Become the Victor Podcast” or type in “Victortheinspiration” to find it.The 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 Sue Smey, known for competing on Survivor and Beast Games, to talk about the deeper story behind her strength. While many people know Sue from reality competition television, this conversation goes far beyond the screen.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Brad Miller — known online as @MyBeckersStory — to share an honest conversation about living with Becker Muscular Dystrophy, a genetic progressive muscle-wasting condition that can impact mobility, endurance, and daily life over time.Brad opens up about being diagnosed at a young age, realizing he couldn’t keep up with other kids, and learning to adapt long before he truly understood what the future might hold. We talk about the mental side of progressive disability, why Brad believes it’s important to face struggles head-on, and how writing, creativity, and music became lifelines through his hardest seasons — including bullying, anxiety, and moments of doubt.Connect with Brad Miller:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mybeckersstory/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mybeckersstoryWebsite:https://mybeckersstory.blogspot.com/Book:https://linktr.ee/fightingtowardsvictoryBecome 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.

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. Kevin shares what it was like growing up with SMA in the pre–social media era, navigating hospitalizations, school accessibility, and the hidden emotional weight of disability. He opens up about a major turning point in college, how counseling helped him stop bottling things in, and why hiring outside caregivers became one of the most life-changing steps toward true independence. We also talk faith, trauma, disability, and why disability isn’t the tragedy — inaccessibility is.Connect with Kevin Schaefer:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kevinschaefer19/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SMANewsTodayWebsite:https://smanewstoday.com/Become 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.
