Description
Welcome to The Impossible, the official podcast of Impossible Performance, where we explore humanity in the Face of Impossible challenge. Our hosts Matt Hill and Austin Douglas are both cancer survivors who have faced The Impossible through near death experience, disease, PTSD, and addiction. Since overcoming these challenges, they now use the principles they learned from these difficult experiences to Be Impossible and Do the Impossible in business and athletics. Join us as we hear stories of those who have Faced the Impossible and learn how you can Be Impossible, building a version of yourself who is capable of overcoming any challenge you face...capable of Doing the Impossible!
At Impossible Performance, we strive to build a global culture of strength, fostering a spirit of growth in constant pursuit of The Impossible.
Thank you for listening and as always... Be Impossible
