#169 - Ian Fisher, Aspiring Pro Triathlete
Description
At just 22 years old, Ian Fisher is chasing his pro triathlon card with an unwavering belief in God’s plan for his life—but his story starts far from the start line. Born in Ukraine and placed in an orphanage at age eight, Ian was adopted into a loving family in the U.S., a turning point that shaped his faith and drive. In this raw and inspiring conversation, Ian shares about overcoming a turbulent childhood, finding purpose after years of partying, and discovering triathlon only 10 months ago.
We dive into forgiveness, identity, and the mental battles of chasing big goals. Ian opens up about the role his fiancée plays in his journey, his relationship with God, and how he’s learning patience on and off the racecourse. Whether you’re an athlete, a person of faith, or just someone navigating your own “middle ground” between past and future, Ian’s story will remind you that broken beginnings can lead to powerful new chapters.
