Ep 532: From Navy Rescue Swimmer to SWAT: Kody Dickerson's Comeback Story That Refused to Quit
Peaches and Trent sit down with Kody Dickerson — the guy who took every hit life could throw: failed run, COVID cruise, family crisis, BUD/S heartbreak, the whole stack. And instead of folding, he rebuilt himself into a SWAT enforcer, gang-unit problem-solver, and CrossFit machine. Kody breaks down the moments that rocked him, the honesty that saved him, and the mindset that pulled him out of a 250-pound fog and back into the fight. If you’re still telling yourself “now’s not the right time,” Peaches and Trent are basically calling you out.
