  • #220 - Gabrielle Suver: Pro Triathlete Hit & Run, 20+ Breaks, and the Faith That Carried Her Through
    Apr 26 2026

    Gabrielle Suver was four months out from her best season ever as a pro triathlete — fit, focused, and ready to race Ironman Cozumel. Then on a routine shakeout ride, a truck hit her and drove away. Twenty plus breaks, open fractures, a month in the hospital, and the very real possibility that she might not walk again.


    Four months later she's back on her road bike.


    Gabby sits down with me to talk about what she remembers from the crash site, the peace she found while lying against a fence not knowing if she would live or die, and why she never really felt anger toward the driver who left her there. We get into her journey from a sickly, bullied kid in New York to a late-blooming pro athlete, her battle with anorexia in high school, the string of medical setbacks throughout 2024 that she now believes were preparing her for this, and the daily practices — nutrition, journaling, gratitude, therapy, and faith — that are fueling one of the most remarkable recoveries in the sport.


    This one is raw, honest, and quietly powerful. Gabby doesn't perform strength — she just has it.

  • #219 - Jon Sammut: From Pro Triathlete to Broken Legs, Possible Amputation & the Paralympic Dream
    Apr 20 2026

    Jon Sammut was in the best shape of his life. Racing the Ironman Pro Series, fit, focused, and finally back in the game — until a split second of lost concentration at 50 kilometers an hour changed everything. He hit a roundabout sign head-on, shattered both legs, and spent the next 15 months navigating surgery after surgery, a near-fatal allergic reaction to antibiotics, and the very real possibility of losing his leg entirely.


    Jon sits down with me to talk about what it actually feels like to go from professional athlete to lying on a road screaming for 15 minutes. We get into the identity crisis that follows when sport is taken away, how a chance connection on Hinge helped ground him during his darkest stretch, and why he's now facing another high-risk procedure — not in spite of the danger, but because the Paralympic rowing team in LA is waiting on the other side.


    We also dig into the Ogging Squad, his new hydration startup Lightwork, and what happens when you apply the same determination that made you a pro athlete to building something from nothing.


    This one is a gut check for anyone who has ever taken their health, their mobility, or their next training session for granted.

  • #218 - Camille Herron: Ultra Running World Record Holder on Autism, ADHD & Finding Her Superpower
    Apr 13 2026

    Camille Herron is one of the greatest ultra runners of all time — world record holder, multi-time world champion, and someone who has been quietly doing it all with a brain she didn't fully understand until two years ago.


    Fresh off discovering she's autistic and ADHD at 44, Camille sits down with Seth to talk about what it was like growing up with delayed speech and no words for what she was experiencing, how a near-fatal car accident reshaped her sense of purpose, and why she's now choosing to race visibly disabled — pink earmuffs and all.


    They also get into the season-shifting that saved her marriage, why she walked away from her dream job at the University of Michigan, and what it means to finally stop masking after a lifetime of trying to fit in.


    This one's for anyone who has ever felt wired differently and wondered if that was a weakness or a gift.
