This amazing journey started when Kyle watched his brother finish the Louisville triathlon. He counts it as ‘one of the most transformative moments in [his] life.’ Kyle asked his brother ‘Can people in wheelchairs do IRONMAN?’ Brent never hesitated with his response; the answer was a resounding ‘YES!’. Even though finishing an IRONMAN was something that had never before crossed his mind, from that day forward Kyle wanted in.

Allow America’s most highly recognized team of brother/brother triathletes take you on their journey from their first race, through the multiple ‘NOs’, to the final ‘YES’ from KONA, getting to the start line, the ups and downs to the finish line, and beyond. Throughout this inspiring keynote the Pease brothers provide a glimpse behind the scenes of the different challenges they faced and overcame to find their finish at the Ironman World Championships in Kona Hawaii.

  • Define what their personal finish line is, what it looks like, and be inspired and motivated to pursue it!
  • Understand how the path to success is often the same, regardless of the goal that is being pursued.
  • Recognize that when they have a goal and they remove themselves from “it” then they can find their own personal finish.
  • Show that anything is truly possible when they believe and set their mind to it.
  • Clarify what success looks like to them and how to keep their focus, determination, and spirit as the keys to achieving it.
