Here it is; the second episode of a new podcast series we’ve created with our friends at BibRave, called Making It: An AfterShokz Podcast Series by BibRave. The series explores the pathways, trials, and tribulations of a variety of athletes as they try to “make it” at the highest levels of their sport.
We know that getting out the door for your run or ride can often be the hardest part. There are so many distractions and reasons to just skip it – especially if you are worried about boredom or monotony. We wanted to help combat the boredom piece by sharing some inspiring stories to keep you entertained – all served up via those sweet vibes from your AfterShokz headphones!
Last month, we featured the jaw-dropping inspiration from Chaz Davis, a runner who lost his sight in his college career. Chaz continued to excel as a blind runner, eventually competing for Team USA in the Paralympics. In episode two, we’re excited to bring you the story of Jim Knous, a golfer who just barely made it, becoming the last PGA golfer to earn his TOUR card in 2018.
Jim’s story is a combination of rugged determination and cool-headed focus. Throughout the course of our conversations with Jim, it became pretty obvious how valuable that mindset is when attempting to make it as one of the most elite athletes on the planet.
Whoa, hang on. “One of the most elite”?
Really?
Believe it.
Of the 80 million estimated golfers worldwide, only 245 make the PGA TOUR! That means Jim (and every other golfer) had a 1 in 326,000 chance of earning a spot, or about .0003 percent. As a comparison, about 1 in 200, or approximately 0.5 percent of high school senior boys playing baseball will eventually be drafted by an MLB team. So yeah, making the PGA TOUR is a BIG deal!
In this episode of the Making It series, you’ll hear how Jim’s cool demeanor helped him navigate the long, lonely, and very high-stakes process of vying for a PGA TOUR card. Jim, along with his family, endured ups and downs and pushed through crushing losses, in order to find his way into the elite ranks. If you’re into hearing about the strength of human will and the tenacity to overcome intense odds, Jim’s story is for you.
We hope you enjoy this conversation with Jim as much as we did! Be sure to share your thoughts with us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter).

Todd starts off introducing us to the philosophy behind Eastern Medicine. We dive into the misperceptions behind the practice. And then we get into the details of different therapies - acupuncture vs. dry needling, cupping, etc. The conversation ends by exploring how we as athletes should approach treatment proactively vs. reactively.

Today we bring you the first in a series of special edition podcasts we’ve created with our friends at AfterShokz - the unrivaled maker of bone conduction headphones. The series is called Making It and explores the pathways, trials, and tribulations of a variety of athletes as they try to “make it” at the highest levels of their sport.
Episode One features blind Paralympic runner Chaz Davis – a high-performing college track athlete who was really starting to hit his stride before everything changed. He was suddenly struck with an ailment known as Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy – a common mitochondrial disorder that robbed him of his sight.
Listen to the episode to hear how Chaz overcame his initial heartbreak at the diagnosis, his destructive behavior to follow, and how he regained his motivation to run and become a member of the U.S. Paralympic Team. Chaz is now preparing to earn a spot in the 2020 Paralympic Marathon in Tokyo, and we get into what it’ll take to get there!
We hope that you're as inspired by Chaz' story as we are and that you can approach your next run or challenge with a bit of gratitude and a renewed sense of purpose. We’re all going to experience setbacks in life and in running, and here’s to learning from Chaz’ incredible story of “making it!"
For a deeper dive into our premiere episode of Making It and to learn more about Chaz, check out our show notes. You can also find us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. And, if you enjoyed this episode we would love it if you could leave us a review on iTunes!
