概要

Welcome to the Defeating Can't Podcast, ignited by the roots of a remarkable journey that began in 2017. What began as a strategy for professional and personal achievement evolved into a local apparel brand across Hawai'i, resonating nationally and internationally. Beyond clothing, my journey delved into psychology, a passion for mental health, suicide prevention, and the science behind optimizing human performance—the "Science of CAN."
This podcast features interviews with friends, family, and inspired individuals from Kaua'i, and throughout the CAN. world, all united in our collective journey to conquer self-defeating thoughts. We refuse to surrender to a life veiled in quiet desperation, as aptly put by Thoreau. Instead, this concept, our business, and this podcast endeavors to contribute a verse, however modest, to enrich lives. Join me as we explore defeating limitations and embracing the Spirit of "CAN."

Remember, the discussions and concepts discussed in this podcast are for informational purposes only. If the 'can't" in your mind ever becomes too much, we encourage you to consult with a qualified professional. CAN. Ask for Help.

  • Stefan Gaar, Pt. 2 — 220-Day Check-In: Cycling Across Asia
    2025/10/04

    This is the 220-day check-in with Austrian adventurer Stefan Gaar (aka Freak of Nature), who is cycling solo and self-supported around the world.

    In Part 1, we followed Stefan’s launch from Austria through Slovenia, Croatia, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Jordan, and Nepal. Now, host Andy Bestwick reconnects with him as he pedals through South Korea after a month in China—fresh off mountain passes, border challenges, and the quiet rhythm of 7–8 hours a day in the saddle.

    In this episode we cover:

    • Visa pivots that forced unexpected detours.
    • Gear breakdowns and fixes that kept him rolling.
    • The kindness of strangers along the way.
    • The mental side of managing loneliness and embracing quiet miles.
    • What’s next: a Korea loop, 90 days in Japan, and South America with his dad Klaus.

    It’s a grounded, inspiring check-in from a cyclist who proves that progress comes one consistent pedal stroke at a time.

  • Finding the Glide: Sonny Cruz and the Moloka‘i Hoe - Paddling the World Championships
    2025/10/03

    Send us Fan Mail

    This episode of Defeating Can’t takes you into the heart of outrigger canoe paddling and one of the most iconic endurance events in the world — the Moloka‘i Hoe World Championships.

    My guest is Sonny Cruz, paddler, community leader, and friend, who will be racing with his club, Hui o Mana Ka Pu‘uwai. Founded in 1990 on Kaua‘i’s Wailua River by Jeff Ano and Uncle Joe Rapozo, the club has become a cornerstone of the paddling community. This year, they’re sending an Open Men’s crew to represent Kaua‘i — a remarkable mix of young athletes as young as 16 and seasoned paddlers in their 50s, all united by a shared kuleana (responsibility) to honor their island and their hui wa‘a.

    The Moloka‘i Hoe is more than a 42-mile channel crossing. It’s a test of endurance, teamwork, and cultural tradition that connects modern athletes to the voyaging heritage of Hawai‘i and Polynesia. In this episode, Sonny shares what it means to paddle at this level — from the structure of the canoe, to the unity it takes to find rhythm, to the deep cultural weight of representing Kaua‘i on a global stage.

    I’m especially proud that Spirit of CAN. is sponsoring Sonny and his crew in this year’s race. They embody resilience, humility, and the CAN. mindset — qualities you’ll hear in Sonny’s voice as he talks about his team, the sport, and the stoke that fuels their journey.

    If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to glide across open ocean with perfect timing, or what it takes to prepare a team for one of the world’s most demanding endurance challenges, this conversation will take you there.

  • Defeating CAN’T: CAN. THRIVE Series – Ep. 6 | Staying Positive When Others Aren’t: Mindset, Energy & Workplace Culture
    2025/09/03

    Send us a text

    In this episode of the CAN. THRIVE Series, Andy Bestwick and Coach Jason Carnagie dive deep into one of the most relatable topics yet: How do you stay positive when you're surrounded by negativity?

    Whether it’s a workplace filled with complaining, a team lacking energy, or a social circle stuck in a cycle of discouragement—maintaining your own mindset is no easy task. Drawing from coaching insights, personal stories, and real-life examples, Andy and Jason explore what it means to own your energy, how to build resilience in tough environments, and what to do when others around you don’t share your growth-oriented outlook.

    In this episode, they unpack:

    • How to identify your role in shaping the emotional climate around you
    • Why one negative voice can change the vibe—and how to shift it back
    • The power of gratitude, reflection, and the “what went well” question
    • Strategies to avoid internalizing others’ negativity
    • The role of team captains, leaders without titles, and “quiet culture shapers”
    • The science behind how positive language actually boosts team outcomes


    With examples from sports teams, nonprofit settings, and personal coaching journeys—including Andy’s take on processing “CAN’T” in real time—this episode offers practical, heartfelt advice for anyone looking to grow and thrive in environments that can sometimes pull you down.

    🎧 Tune in for tools, mindset shifts, and the reminder that positivity is a practice—and it starts with you.
