In this episode of The Unbroken Podcast, Chris sits down with his good friend and coworker, Jason Dean. Jason is a dedicated powerlifter whose journey is nothing short of inspiring. After suffering a back injury, doctors and friends alike told him he’d never be able to lift heavy—or compete—again. But Jason refused to let that setback define him. Through determination, disciplined rehab, and a relentless mindset, he fought his way back to the sport he loves.
After two years away from competition, Jason made his hard-earned return—winning the competition and proving the doubters wrong. We dive into what drives Jason, how he first got into powerlifting, and the mindset it takes to push through pain, setbacks, and excuses to achieve greatness.
This is a story of grit, motivation, and the unbreakable spirit that defines not just athletes, but anyone facing obstacles in life.
