Strive for Greatness: From Sports to the Marine Corps, Battling Mental Health, and Pushing Limits in OCR with Jayson Wissmueller

In this episode of Behind the Underdogs, we sit down with Jayson,
a former D3 football recruit who felt a higher calling and joined
the Marine Corps back in 2005. His path as an entrepreneur saw
him start an agricultural business and open his own gym before
finding his true passion in OCR (Obstacle Course Racing).


Jayson reflects on the invaluable life lessons sports instilled
in him, lessons he now passes on to his son: each game is a
battle, and the bonds, teamwork, and work ethic are the keys to
success in life. After leaving the military, Jayson faced a
mental struggle but found new motivation through his son and
running. He shares his journey from struggling to run half a mile
to conquering marathons, embodying his motto of "strive for
greatness."


We explore Jayson's mindset on setting big goals, appreciating
the journey, and battling mental health through physical
exertion. Tune in to hear Jayson's inspiring story of overcoming
adversity, competing in the Spartan trifecta, and his advice on
living fearlessly and unlocking your potential.
