Brian Michel couldn’t run a mile… then he ran 100— and built a business rooted in purpose.

What if the life that looks “successful” on paper is the one keeping you stuck?

Most men think success means stability: a good job, solid income, steady life. But what if that comfort is the very thing keeping you stuck?

In this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” podcast, I sit down with Brian Michel, an executive coach, ultra-endurance athlete, entrepreneur, and our newest Pathfinder Coach, who left corporate comfort to chase something bigger.

We talk about how he went from a “good job” to a great life, the mindset that carried him through 100-mile races, and how faith and active surrender helped him find peace in uncertainty.

Brian also shares the two-year plan that made his leap possible, the lessons he learned balancing family, business, and faith, and how intentional living helped him finally align his work with his purpose.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in success— comfortable but restless— this conversation will challenge how you define winning and show you how to build a life that’s bold, balanced, and deeply fulfilling. Tune in now!
