Join us for an electrifying episode with Dr. John Byrne, Professor Emeritus at St. Ambrose University, professional speaker, and expert in goal setting and motivation—
Taking Chances is now proudly supported by our friends Johnna and Austin Chesney, the amazing owners of four iconic establishments in the Quad Cities: The Public House, The Ridge Social Drinkery, Oak Grove Tavern, and Candy’s Back Bar.
Dr. Byrne is no stranger to pushing the limits. A 6-time Leadville Trail 100 finisher and 2024 Lead Challenge conqueror (yes, that beast of a series includes the Leadville Trail Marathon, Silver Rush 50, Leadville Trail 100 MTB, Leadville 10K, and the legendary Leadville Trail 100 Run), his story is nothing short of epic. Born and raised in Iowa, he’s gone far beyond the rolling plains—tackling an Ironman Triathlon and even summiting Mt. Rainier.
In this episode, he dives into his Leadville experience, the mindset needed to conquer the impossible, and the deeper philosophy of setting bold, soul-stirring goals. He’ll also share what’s next on his path—and how you can take his strategies and apply them to your own life.
If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to do the truly hard things, this episode is your blueprint. 🎧 Listen now and get inspired to chase your own summit.
