Description
You already know you're capable of more. So why do you keep getting in your own way?
Getting After It is the podcast for people who are done with excuses, done playing it safe, and ready to close the gap between who they are and who they know they can be. Hosted by ultra trail runner, entrepreneur, and accountability obsessive Brett Rossell, this show doesn't hand you motivation. It hands you a mirror.
Every episode cuts into the real reasons people self-sabotage, avoid discomfort, and settle for less than they're built for. Through raw personal stories, Stoic philosophy made practical, and honest conversations with others who've done hard things. You'll walk away with the mindset and tools to actually prove what you're made of.
If you're building a career, a family, fitness, or a life worth being proud of; this is the show that holds you accountable to all of it.
New episodes every week. Subscribe and keep Getting After It.
