Podcast Insights
Content Themes
Focuses on themes of personal success, mental health, and the various challenges of running and business, with episodes highlighting experiences like ultra marathons, motivational discussions with athletes, and advice on adapting to life changes, such as the conversation with Mark Dowdle about ultra running and insights from UFC Hall of Famer Pat Miletich.
Why Not You with John O’Brien What if the only thing standing between you and doing something extraordinary… is the decision to start? Do hard things. Turning motivational interviews into personal action
Why Not You with John OBrien is a podcast that turns curiosity into courage. Each episode features genuine, down‑to‑earth people who have achieved remarkable things—Olympic gold medalists, world champions, Guinness World Record holders, ultra‑distance race winners, Leadville Trail 100 finishers, backyard ultra champions, and founders of successful businesses.
Conversations with ordinary people who did something extraordinary — ultrarunners, Ironman finishers, rebuilders, and people who bet on themselves when it didn’t make sense. The question isn’t why them. It’s why not me.
The goal isn’t to impress you. It’s to challenge you to ask a powerful question:
Why not you?

Update on the appointment with Dr. Beau Shay. I called last week and got an appointment right away which was yesterday. I went into this with cautious optimism because cortisone shots are no joke. I knew it was going to hurt and I was right, it hurt like hell. That needle doesn’t just poke you and pinch a bit, he works that thing around a bunch and you can really feel the stuff going into your foot. I also talked about podcasting, the contest I entered sponsored by iHeart radio/Ryan Seacrest. I didn’t know it was going to be one of those contests that people need votes, also that you can buy votes, so my chances of winning are basically 1,000,000,000 to 1. Oh well, I love doing these podcasts and will keep doing them, I just need guests! So please start sending people my way. Reach out on FB or text me or call me or email me.
