Jesse Itzler’s book taught me that comfort is the enemy of growth. That your “limit” is usually just your starting line. And it reminded me that discipline doesn’t have to be boring, it can be fun and transformational. I. f you’re chasing a goal right now, give this one a read!

They told me I couldn’t. But with a daily medical treatment that usually keeps me close to a bathroom… I set out to climb Mount Kilimanjaro anyway.

You know that gut feeling? Trust it!. It’s there for a reason!

Having Dyslexia has always been one of my biggest challenges… . So how did I write a book?. With a tape recorder, a wall full of sticky notes, and a whole lot of faith! 🙏

Here’s what’s in my daily setup for my VATER syndrome treatment. It might look like a lot, but to me, this is freedom…

Every scar, every surgery, every summit, that’s part of my story. My WHY? To show others that hard days don’t mean bad days. To turn pain into purpose. So I’ll ask you what I ask myself:. What’s your WHY… and how are you proving it?

No Pain, No Gain!. But seriously, the mental and physical challenges that you overcome on a long run, or any outdoor adventure where you find yourself pushing the limits is so rewarding in the end and worth it every time!

To me, being rich is measured by time spent in nature…. ⬇️ What’s your rich?

People often ask me, “JT, how do you stay so positive?”. For one, I think of these kids who face more in a day than some of us face in a lifetime, and still smile. If they can choose joy in the middle of hospital rooms and hard days, then so can I.

This treatment has taught me patience, gratitude, and the truth that our challenges can become our greatest opportunities to grow. I choose to see it not as an obstacle, but as another reason to live with the No Bad Days mindset!

Perspective is everything!

Moments like this remind me exactly why I wrote this story! 📖 💙

I was once told I couldn’t return to school because I couldn’t “keep up.” . Instead of accepting a label, I fought back with faith, grit, and the people who believed in me. Let that be a reminder: Your value is not defined by a test score or a title. Keep going.

Adventures take many forms. Last week, one of mine was sharing my books No Bad Days and How The Sailfish Got it’s Name at Atlanta Children’s Hospital. These are the real heroes of the journey!

Life is a series of trying new things until you find what you love! And then pursuing what you love with all you’ve got!. #Life #Adventure #Motivation #inspiration #NoBadDays #Faith

⛷️ New bucket list item? Maybe. but for now, skiing is epic enough on its own! #NoBadDays. #Fitness #sport #ski #bucketlist #interview #funny #adventure #outdoors

We all have chapters of our lives that feel “too messy” or “too embarrassing” to tell. But here’s the truth: the part you’re tempted to hide might be the exact piece of hope someone else is praying for. Don’t let fear of judgment steal the impact you were meant to have!

I do what I do for him… the boy who spent over 250 days in children’s hospitals before the age of three. That little boy deserves to see his story turn into purpose. ❤️ . #NoBadDays #Hospital #Treatment #Fight #Faith #ChildrensHospital #Purpose #Proveit

At #RyanSeacrestStudios in Monroe Carell Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, I had the joy of sharing stories of hope with patients, families, and staff. These moments remind me that even in the toughest days, connection, laughter, and faith can bring so much light. #NoBadDays

Grateful for the unforgettable day at #RyanSeacrestStudios inside Monroe Carell Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. From reading How a Sailfish Got Its Name 🐟, to handing out books, to swapping stories and smiles with some of the bravest kids and most dedicated staff!
