What happens when you commit to something that feels impossible?
In this deeply personal solo episode of The On Purpose Podcast, Jerrod shares the unforgettable journey of completing the inaugural Copper Kings 100 ultramarathon in Butte, Montana. But this isn't just a story about running 100 miles—it's about family, resilience, shared suffering, and discovering that our greatest accomplishments are rarely achieved alone.
From six months of training to unexpected setbacks on race day, Jerrod reflects on the physical, emotional, and spiritual lessons that emerged from one of the hardest experiences of his life. Along the way, he reveals how a simple decision to chase a dream inspired his family to pursue challenges of their own, creating a movement they called Dream Chasers.
Whether you're training for an ultramarathon, starting a business, pursuing a lifelong goal, or simply navigating a difficult season, this episode is a reminder that the finish line isn't where transformation happens—it's found in every step along the journey.
This isn't just an episode for runners. It's for anyone who has ever wondered if they're capable of more than they believe.
