When Ty Bruner sits down with Ehea Schuerch, a corrections officer by day and elite tactical athlete by night, a story of grit, faith, and hard-won grace unfolds. From a childhood in Spokane shaped by creativity and scarcity to the brutal discipline of the Tactical Games and a decade inside the jail, E. reveals how training became a lifeline — pushing her body, sharpening her mind, and teaching her what really matters.

Along the way she confronts the cost of ambition, the power of community, and the quiet reclaiming of faith after pain. Candid, fierce, and surprisingly tender, E.’s journey is about more than medals: it’s about resilience, belonging, and the risky work of choosing to be seen.

When Ty Brunner notices the same familiar figure in the gym before dawn, curiosity turns into conversation. Meet Rob Hoff — a former military kid, a Comcast sales manager, and a gym regular whose day begins long before sunrise. Through anecdotes about his fighter-pilot father, a life shaped by routine, and the wake-up call of a diabetes diagnosis, Rob reveals how small, stubborn habits became the backbone of a life well-lived.

This episode traces Rob’s path from Yokosuka to Spokane, from late-blooming athlete to the man who won’t skip a morning. It’s a story of resilience: learning to manage health with grit and consistency, reflecting on leadership learned at the kitchen table and the base, and the friendships and rituals that anchor him. Along the way Ty and Rob trade hard-earned lessons about willpower, legacy, and the quiet power of showing up.

Listen as two ordinary men unpack the extraordinary: how an early alarm, a rowing machine, and honest self-reflection can reshape a day — and maybe a life. By episode’s end you’ll hear not just advice, but a lived example of how discipline, humility, and kindness create the people we meet.

Angela Fletcher's life unfolds like a weathered map of danger, risk and resilience. From a turbulent childhood and the crushing spiral of addiction, to high-powered corporate success and the dizzying burnout that followed, Angela’s story is an unflinching look at what it takes to walk away and start again. In this episode, she traces the moment-by-moment choices that led her from streets and hotels to backpacks and homesteads—ultimately finding purpose in the healing dirt of her gardens.

Listen as Angela describes near-ruin and redemption: the overdose that became a turning point, a groundbreaking role in a marketing company that fed both pride and emptiness, and a bold decision to sell everything and live with less. Through vivid details—dumpsters and clicker data, mountain trails and hummingbirds—her narrative reveals how survival, curiosity and quiet spiritual awakenings can replant a life. By episode’s end, you’ll feel the pull of her gardens: small ecosystems that teach patience, nourishment, and how to build a life worth living without the weight of “stuff.”
