Matt Johnson joins the Grab Life Big Podcast to unpack Project Seven, his attempt to complete seven Ironmans in seven days while raising money and awareness for veterans.
He shares what happened when his body finally had nothing left to give, why he considers the experience a success despite falling short of seven, and how the journey forced him to confront childhood trauma, faith, giving back, and his constant need to push harder. Now, Matt is learning what it looks like to slow down, be present, and find peace without needing to know what challenge comes next.
