There are some conversations that feel like a good long exhale, where passion meets purpose, and the joy of movement reminds you why you fell in love with this endurance world in the first place. This episode with Adam Bratton, Founder and Chief Enabler of Human Powered Movement, is exactly that. What unfolds is a lighthearted, motivating, and deeply human conversation about creating space for movement, curiosity, and community at every level of the journey.
Adam shares how his path from competitive athlete to personal trainer to race director shaped the mission behind Human Powered Movement. What started as a COVID-era experiment to encourage people to get moving has evolved into a diverse mix of adventure races, virtual triathlons, endurance challenges, and events designed to support both physical and mental well-being. Whether it is streaking through the holidays, trying your first off-road triathlon, or tackling a creative virtual challenge, the heartbeat of HPM stays the same: movement belongs to everyone.
This episode is packed with beginner-friendly wisdom as Adam talks about learning through trial, error, and curiosity. He opens up about directing large-scale events, building community through authentic engagement, and balancing big dreams with sustainable business decisions. Adam also reflects on the beauty of choosing your own path, trying nontraditional races, and staying true to what inspires you, even when it looks different from everyone else’s timeline.
In true Tri Beginner’s Luck fashion, there is plenty of laughter, inspiration, and permission to be a beginner again. If you need encouragement to try something new, return to movement, or give yourself grace along the way, this conversation will feel like a warm invitation to begin.
