🎙️ “Today’s guest is Brian Doerrfeld – a Quad Cities native whose journey is a testament to resilience and reinvention. Growing up immersed in golf and sports, Brian’s early years were defined by athletic ambition. But in his twenties, life took a detour as he navigated the highs and lows of bartending, battling depression and a difficult relationship with alcohol. - In 2021, Brian made a bold decision to reclaim his life. Now in his fourth year as a personal trainer, cross country coach, and local 5K race director, he’s not just helping others move forward—he’s racing toward his own goals. His current pursuit? Crushing a sub-70-minute time in the elite HYROX men’s pro division. Brian’s story is about grit, growth, and the power of choosing a different path. This is what Taking Chances is all about.”
