🎙️ Welcome to Taking Chances – Why Not You?
Today’s episode features Brian Doerrfeld, a Quad Cities native whose story is a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and relentless pursuit. From a childhood steeped in golf and competitive sports to a turbulent chapter marked by bartending, depression, and struggles with alcohol—Brian’s twenties were anything but predictable.
But in 2021, he flipped the script. Now in his fourth year as a personal trainer, cross country coach, and race director, Brian’s not just guiding others—he’s chasing his own bold goals, including a sub-70-minute finish in the elite HYROX men’s pro division. His journey is raw, real, and radically inspiring.
This is what Taking Chances - Why not you? is all about: choosing growth over comfort, and daring to ask, why not me?
Why not now?
