Today I spoke with Dr. Matthew Hill, who faced the impossible before he understood what the word fully meant. Diagnosed with cancer as a child, he lost his leg and endured nine months of chemotherapy that nearly took his Life. What came after was its own battle — depression and alcoholism pulled him into a darkness he couldn't find the edges of. He was lost. Without purpose. Without direction.  The return began on the road and the platform. Through endurance racing and powerlifting, Matt found what it means to build an Individual who can build the outcomes of which you dream. He has completed multiple Half Marathons, raised over $40,000 for children battling cancer, and squatted and deadlifted over 500 pounds on a prosthetic leg in powerlifting competition. Every rep, every mile, every dollar raised is a living proof of the message he now carries into the world. In 2023, Matthew founded Impossible Performance — not originally as a business, but as a direct transmission of everything his journey taught him. Because if he could build his body, his mind, his spirit, and his emotional foundation from the ruins of what cancer left behind, he knows with absolute certainty it can be done for anyone willing to do the work. "When Faced with The Impossible, Be Impossible, and you will Do The Impossible."  We discussed 03:07 The long form honesty test 06:48 The diagnosis at eighteen 11:52 Control versus suppression 19:15 The father piece 22:27 Empathy without the trump card 29:34 Past inputs and outputs 37:31 Optimizing for the wrong individual 55:23 Two connections a day 01:10:21 Inside the 500 pound squat 01:21:09 Cancer is not an excuse Find Matthew Website - impossibleperformance.com Instagram - @impossible.performance  YouTube - @ImpossiblePerformance __________ Paul's singular goal is to raise the bar for coaching.

Dr. John Radio is a non-operative sports medicine and orthopedic physician with UCHealth in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where he specializes in regenerative medicine and image-guided interventions.  John is board certified in both Emergency Medicine and Primary Care Sports Medicine.  His practice centers on ultrasound and fluoroscopically-guided injections utilizing PRP and cellular therapies to treat the whole person instead of just an MRI report.  He treats the entire functional unit of the body region, not just a single structure. His medical practice is built on having skin in the game. A lifelong athlete, John wrestled, played football and basketball, and has trained and competed in brazilian jiu-jitsu and lifted seriously for years. He also recently completed an ultra-marathon. Through his athletic and competitive pursuits, he used his own injuries, treatments and recovery to develop empathy and understanding of the biopsychosocial implications for individuals in pain. That firsthand experience shapes how he connects with patients facing the same setbacks. Off the clock, he lives the active Colorado life he prescribes: lifting, training, and time in the mountains. As a devoted husband and father, family is the anchor behind his work.
