🎙️ Welcome to a new episode of the Dad Up Podcast!
🟫 One Step Changed Everything | Featuring Johnny Muresan and Bryan Ward | Ep. 309
👉 Johnny Muresan is a husband, dad, and everyday guy who once weighed nearly 500 pounds, until he laced up his shoes and took one shaky, breathless step toward change.
👉 That step turned into a journey of transformation, and today Johnny has shed more than 160 pounds, completing races from 5 km all the way to an ultramarathon.
👉 Known online as @johnnygoesrunning, Johnny has built a community of hundreds of thousands by being the bridge connecting the athletic with those who feel left out of it.
👉 You won’t find many people his size running marathons, crushing dips and handstand push-ups, or chasing down an ultramarathon finish line, but that’s exactly why he does it.
👉 He’s forced his way into rooms where larger bodies are almost never represented, and his mission is to hold the door open wide enough for others to follow.
👉 On this episode of the Dad Up Podcast, Johnny shares his powerful story of resilience, transformation, and faith.
👉 From running across Tennessee on just 11 days’ notice to inspiring everyday people to believe they can do more than they imagined, Johnny embodies the truth that you don’t have to “look the part” to step into greatness.
👉 His conviction is simple but life-changing: with work, consistency, and a little belief anything is possible.
