#115: DJ Fox: World’s Toughest Mudder Champion on Committing to Your Dreams, The GORUCK Games & MORE!

DJ Fox (@dee_jay_fox) is an ultra endurance athlete, coach, and the 2022 World’s Toughest Mudder Champion. He was also invited to compete in the 2023 GORUCK Games, and is constantly seeking new athletic and performance challenges to conquer. 

DJ left his home and job in New York to move to the mountains in Colorado full time to pursue the life of a professional endurance athlete. And since then, there’s been no turning back. The grit and determination required to be at DJ’s level is matched with his precision and methodology in preparation for such grueling and complicated events. 

We spoke a lot about what it takes to compete at these events, how he handles his preparation, overcoming the variety of obstacles that come up along the way and the multitude of insights he’s learned from going all in on this dream. 

The biggest takeaway from this conversation comes near the end of the discussion - a challenge to fully commit to your dreams. Take inspiration from DJ, and go get it. 

Be sure to follow DJ on IG to keep up (if you can ;)) with everything he’s got going on and for an inside look at his process.
