James Logan | Stage 4 Colorectal Cancer to Ironman

In this inspiring episode, Hayley sits down with entrepreneur, endurance athlete, and author James Logan, whose life changed after a 2024 diagnosis of stage IV colorectal cancer. James shares how he moved from fear and preparing to die toward living fully with cancer--continuing to train through treatment and pursuing his lifelong dream of competing in the Ironman World Championship in Kona.

James explains his DSSP philosophy--discipline, sacrifice, suffering, and pain--and how willingly facing difficult challenges can prepare us for adversity we never chose. He discusses building discipline through small, consistent actions and how faith, family, movement, and meaningful goals have helped him navigate treatment.

Through his book, Just Keep Triing, his athletic journey, and his fundraising efforts, James is transforming hardship into service and hope. His message is simple but powerful: happiness is found in the pursuit, every tragedy can contain an opportunity for triumph, and no matter what you are facing, just keep trying.
