Episode 03 Finding Potential in Adversity to Achieve Great Things

How do you climb Kilimanjaro on your hands and knees literally and still have the strength to smile? In this raw and powerful episode of The Potentials Podcast, host Andrew Bryant is joined by Paralympic gold medalist, wheelchair rugby champion, and adventurer Aaron Phipps, who turned trauma into triumph.

Aaron shares his extraordinary journey from a teenage meningitis survivor to pushing himself beyond every imaginable limit. His story is one of radical determination, resilience, and redefining what’s possible not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.

Together, Andrew and Aaron explore:

• What potential really looks like before and after life-altering adversity

• Why having a second chance at life rewires how you view fear, excuses, and limits

• How Aaron crawled, yes, crawled to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro to fulfill a promise to himself

• The unseen cost of Olympic-level training when you’re also raising a family

• What it takes to step away from the spotlight for your mental health and come back stronger

• How gold medals and life-changing wins are forged in the mundane moments of self-belief 

This episode isn’t just about success, it's about what happens when you decide that "being carried" is no longer an option.

“You can either let your circumstance define you… or you can duct-tape knee pads to your legs and climb.”
