About the show
Where high performers open up about the defining moments that shaped them.
Each week, Jarrod sits down with high-level performers from Apex, North Carolina and beyond — athletes, entrepreneurs, creatives, and changemakers — to uncover the defining moments that shaped their journey.
We dive into their early life, the catalyst that sparked their success, the habits and non-negotiables that fuel their drive, and how they overcome adversity with grit and purpose. You'll walk away with powerful insights and motivation to elevate your own path.
For Jarrod, podcasts have played a tremendously beneficial role in his own learning, reflection, and pursuits. He created Action Over Obstacles — The Podcast to not only highlight peak performers' accomplishments, but to give everyone a glimpse into how guests overcome their own personal obstacles and limiting beliefs.
