In this episode of Pro Mindset ® Podcast, host Craig Domann sits down with history-making Ironman Athlete and Adaptive Sports Champion Roderick Sewell. Born without tibias in both legs and undergoing a double amputation before the age of 2, Roderick’s journey is a masterclass in resilience, grit, and the power of mindset.

He shares how his mother Marian and him navigated homelessness while fighting for access to the prosthetics he needed. Her sacrifices and the life-changing support of the Challenged Athletes Foundation gave Roderick the tools—and the hope—to thrive. With the help of dedicated mentors, he learned to swim, ran with prosthetic blades, and eventually joined the U.S. Para-swimming team, earning multiple international medals.

In 2019, Roderick made history as the first bilateral above-the-knee amputee to complete the Ironman World Championship in Kona, conquering 140.6 miles of swim, bike, and run across Hawaii’s Big Island.

Episode Takeaways:
💥 Your Circumstances Don’t Define You—Your Mindset Does
💥 Overcome Fear by Taking Action
💥 Purpose Outlasts Pain

The conversation dives into how sports shifted Roderick’s mindset, gave him purpose, and taught him to view every challenge—on and off the course—as something he could overcome.
He also talks about his upcoming book, Iron Will, which tells the full story of his and his mother’s perseverance and sacrifices.
