Evan Dollard lost his mother to Brain Cancer when he was a very young man. This forever shaped who he is and has helped give him a maturity and perspective on life that is rare. Evan shared his thoughts about loss, obstacles, change and chasing your dreams in this touching podcast interview. Most notably, "The Rocket" displayed a sensitivity, intellectual curiosity and philanthropy that was perhaps unexpected from this handsome ninja/host.

There is quite a bit to say about Evan as an athlete. From his success on The American Gladiator reboot wherein he won and was invited back--as a gladiator this time--to become "The Rocket" to his success on American Ninja Warrior, Team Ninja Warrior and then hosting NBC's Spartan Race show most recently. Evan wants to inspire others to chase their dreams and not waste their lives away doing something that they don't love. He learned a lot from watching his mother slowly lose a battle to cancer. He and his family had to be close and the experience was a powerful one. Evan reflects on this pain and the growth that came out of it and shares the lessons of that growth.
