About this listen

Ben Thompson wasn’t supposed to make it here. He lives with Myasthenia Gravis — a condition that causes extreme muscle fatigue — but he just qualified for the Ironman World Championship. How? By showing up, day after day! In this powerful conversation with Fernando Lopez, Ben shares how he balances career, family, and chronic illness — and still found the strength to crush Ironman Texas. This is a story about commitment, resilience, and the surprising power of simply showing up.
