This episode was originally published in 2022, but is now more relevant than ever.

When we first released this episode, Lynn Rogers was deep in the fight of navigating her new reality after the sudden onset of CIDP, a rare neurological condition that had left her unable to walk just weeks before she was supposed to compete in her first IRONMAN.

Her resilience, perspective, and determination struck a powerful chord with listeners. So much so, in fact, that her story became the inspiration for Athletic Brewing’s 2024 documentary, Inches to Miles.

Since the release of that film, there’s been a major development: Lynn recently completed an IRONMAN, officially finishing what she set out to do years ago. Her journey from paralysis to the finish line is a remarkable example of what it means to live Without Compromise.

We’re replaying this conversation to honor that achievement and give you a deeper look at the person behind the headlines.

In this episode of Without Compromise, we sit down with Crosby Colapinto, a rising star on the professional surfing circuit. Hailing from San Clemente, California, Crosby shares what it’s like growing up in the tight-nit surfing community, competing alongside his brother Griffin, and staying grounded while chasing the dream of becoming a world champion. We talk about mental resilience, his love of surfing and golf, and how staying true to your values, on and off the board, is the ultimate mark of success.

Crosby’s laid-back attitude and deep love for the ocean remind us that living without compromise means embracing the journey, not just the destination. Whether you’re a lifelong surfer or just someone chasing your own passion, this episode is full of heart, grit, and inspiration.

In this episode of Without Compromise, we sit down with Jazmine Lowther, a professional trail runner, plant biologist, and coach. Raised on a farm in Nelson, British Columbia, Jazmine found her footing early among forests and alpine trails. From barefoot childhood adventures to breaking course records in some of the toughest mountain ultras in the world, her story is one of instinct, curiosity, and bold pivots. We dive into her transition from climbing to ultra-running, her science-driven approach to training, and how she’s navigated injury, competition, and recovery.

Jazmine opens up about what it means to live “without compromise” as both an athlete and a scientist, sharing lessons from the mountains, the lab, and her coaching practice. She reflects on her breakout season, the power of self-coaching, and how her love of wild places fuels not only her athletic pursuits but her environmental ethos. Whether you’re chasing your next race or just looking to reconnect with what moves you, this episode offers a thoughtful, grounded conversation on balance, grit, and doing things differently.
