Jamie Riddle is a 24-year-old South African triathlete who competed at the Paris Olympics last summer. But even with that achievement, he’s now chasing a dream he’s nurtured since he was a kid—to become the Ironman World Champion. In just a few weeks, he’ll make his debut at home, in the Ironman Nelson Mandela Bay.
In this episode, we talk about what it’s like to race at the Olympics at 24, how faith guides Jamie’s journey, what it truly means to be South African, and how sport has shaped his life beyond just competition.
I hope this episode and Jamie’s journey remind you that no matter what sport you pursue or what level you’re at, happiness is found in the journey, not just the destination.

Jack Thompson is a 37-year-old Australian ultra-cyclist, known as the most extreme cyclist on earth. Yet before the successes, Jack’s life wasn’t exactly one you would wish for. Battling depression from a young age, his path led him to drug addiction—a battle he ultimately overcame. It was at this moment, thanks to his father, that Jack found his way to cycling.
In this episode, we talk about Jack’s journey from construction work to ultra-cycling, his battles with mental health, and how he managed to turn his dream into a career.
So even if you’ll never ride more than 500 km in a day, let this episode remind you that no matter how dark a story might seem in the beginning, there is always light at the end.
