In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Stupid Questions with Seth Hill, retired Olympian and world-class triathlete Tim Don opens up. From the highs of breaking world records to the devastating lows of a near career-ending neck injury, Tim walks us through what it means to truly rebuild—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Tim shares what it was like growing up in the "Silicon Valley of endurance sport," raising a family while traveling the world as a pro, and navigating the pain of watching his daughter undergo emergency brain surgery. He reflects on identity, depression, the flawed systems in elite sport, and what it means to find real success outside the spotlight. This episode is more than a triathlon story—it's about being human. About redefining purpose, rediscovering joy, and learning how to keep going even when the path forward is unclear.
