136 - Tyler Cole (DJ Take2) - Your Race, Your Pace

In this episode, I sit down with DJ and endurance athlete Tyler — known as DJ Take 2 — for one of the most grounded and real conversations I’ve had in a while. We explore the beauty of starting small, pushing our limits, and realizing that most of the barriers we face are self-made.

Tyler shares stories from his winding journey as a DJ, his first triathlon podium finish, and the lessons learned from showing up to races where he felt like an outsider. 

We dive deep into what it means to embrace the process — whether it’s standing behind the decks at a wedding, training for an ultra, or hitting mile 31 with nothing left but willpower and gratitude.

This one’s for anyone who’s ever doubted their potential. It’s a reminder that the most fulfilling paths often begin with nothing more than a scared yes — and that with patience, discipline, and a touch of humor, we can go further than we thought possible.

Key takeaways:

• Why taking imperfect action often matters more than being “ready.”
• How endurance sports can teach you to embrace discomfort and find your edge.
• The surprising power of gratitude when things get hard.
• Why patience and humility will take you further than raw talent ever could.
• How leaning on community can keep you moving when you want to quit.

Getting After It is for those who. want to silence their self-doubt. Refuse to be owned by comfort. Understand their limits are man-made and breakable. We live in a time of constant comparison. Social media drowns us in highlight reels and overnight success stories. But what most people don’t see is the grit behind it all. The reps. The quiet mornings. The sacrifices. The failures.
