Jason Khalipa Podcast

This week Jason shares a story from the 2009 CrossFit Games. Coming off a win the year before, expectations were high. In the middle of an event, he blacked out and hit the floor.
What happened next mattered more than the collapse.
Dave Castro gave him a choice. Stay down or get back up and finish.
This episode isn’t about the moment he passed out. It’s about what adversity does to you. Winning feels good, but pushing through when things fall apart is what actually builds confidence.
Sometimes the setback is the thing that proves to you who you are.

In this second installment of the month-long Coffee with Khalipa series, Jason shares a piece of advice he received at 20 years old that still shapes how he operates today.
“If you want to be an owner, start acting like an owner today.”
This episode is about the gap between who you want to become and how you’re showing up right now. Too often, we wait for permission, a title, or someone else to anoint us before we take responsibility. But real ownership doesn’t start with a promotion, a role, or recognition. It starts with behavior.
Jason breaks down why you can’t flip a switch later and expect different results, how waiting to be chosen keeps people stuck, and what it actually looks like to act like an owner long before anyone calls you one.
This is a reminder that responsibility is something you take, not something you’re given.

Over the next four weeks, Jason is sharing a series of stories that shaped him and the lessons they left behind.
In this Coffee with Khalipa episode, he reflects on two moments from his time in the hospital while his daughter was battling leukemia. Neither story involves grand gestures or dramatic speeches. Just simple interactions. One with a family member. One with a stranger.
Both left a lasting impact.
These moments are reminders that you never truly know what someone else is carrying, or how deeply your words and actions might land. A passing comment. A small kindness. A moment of patience or awareness. They can stay with someone for a lifetime.
This episode is about slowing down enough to realize that how you show up matters more than you think. Not just in big moments, but in the quiet, ordinary ones too.
Sometimes the smallest things are the ones that never leave us.

In this episode of the Jason Khalipa Podcast, Jason and MDV dig into what real discipline actually looks like when life gets uncomfortable.
The conversation starts with a simple reminder about concessions and quickly moves into something deeper: why you can’t be everything to everybody, how discipline shows up in everyday decisions, and what it means to carry yourself as a steady presence in unpredictable situations.
They break down a real interaction from Men’s Club, talk through sticking to a personal code, and unpack why physical capability matters — not so you can escalate, but so you don’t have to. Strength, restraint, awareness, and the responsibility that comes with being capable are all on the table.
This episode is about staying grounded, reading situations clearly, and showing up in a way that makes things better — not louder.

In this episode of the Jason Khalipa Podcast, Jason Khalipa is joined by his wife Ashley Khalipa for a candid conversation about fitness, family, philanthropy, and what it actually takes to stay connected as a couple over the long haul.
Jason opens with a quick TRAIN HARD Men’s Club update before diving into Ashley’s first HYROX experience—what surprised her, what pushed her physically, and why doing hard things together matters more than the event itself. From heart-rate spikes to post-race reflections, they unpack what HYROX revealed about effort, mindset, and partnership.
The conversation then shifts to Ava’s Kitchen, the annual fundraising event Ashley has planned for nine straight years. She explains how every dollar raised is used, the difference between fundraising for care versus the cure, and why Ava’s Kitchen has become their primary philanthropic focus. Jason and Ashley also share why creating meaningful experiences around giving back has been so impactful for their family and community.
They wrap up by talking about shared projects, travel, technology, and why couples need things on the calendar that they look forward to—whether that’s racing, building something meaningful, or simply saying yes to new adventures together.
