#175 - John Reed, Professional Triathlete
Description
At just 23, short-course pro triathlete John Reed has already lived a life defined by movement—across states as a military kid, through hard choices between the Navy and sport, and now on the world triathlon circuit. In this conversation, John shares how constant change shaped his fearlessness, why working with mentors like Ryan Bolton and Corey Rich has grounded him, and how his faith gives him peace when doors close and others open. We dive into the challenges of staying even-keeled in a self-focused sport, the value of small but strong relationships, and what it means to care deeply while conserving energy for the moments that matter. From his family of seven siblings to his Olympic ambitions, John’s story is one of discipline, humility, and a big heart.
