E257: Defying Limits: Brent & Kyle Pease on Inclusion, Endurance, and the Power of Community

In this inspiring episode we welcome Brent and Kyle Pease, brothers who have made a significant impact in the world of endurance sports and disability inclusion. 

Diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a child, Kyle grew up cheering for his athlete brothers from the sidelines—until one life-changing moment when he asked Brent, “Can people in wheelchairs do IRONMAN?” Without hesitation, Brent replied, “YES!” That simple yet powerful exchange ignited a journey that has led them to complete over 75 races together, including IRONMAN triathlons and the legendary IRONMAN World Championships in Kona.

But their impact goes far beyond racing. Through the Kyle Pease Foundation, they’ve empowered over 100 athletes with disabilities to compete in endurance sports, proving that inclusion isn’t just a goal—it’s a movement.

In this episode, we explore their brotherly bond, the power of vulnerability in training, race-day challenges, and the ripple effect of inclusion. They share how sports transforms lives, the mission behind their foundation, and why embracing your own challenges can unlock new possibilities.

Episode Highlights:

  • How vulnerability during training fosters deeper connections.

  • Inclusion in sports can lead to broader societal changes.

  • Training together creates lasting memories and strengthens relationships.

  • The transformative power of sports and the importance of community and inclusion. 

  • Learn how The Kyle Pease Foundation aims to improve lives through sports and beyond.

  • The importance of filling up your own cup and being authentically you.
