What does it truly mean to live adaptive?

In Season 2, Episode 12 of Enduring Minds, host Evan Birch sits down with Scott Davidson, founder of Living Adaptive, adaptive athlete, father, and relentless student of resilience for a conversation that goes far beyond miles and medals.

Scott doesn’t introduce himself by his athletic achievements. He starts with what matters most: being a father. His journey from being born with significant birth defects affecting his face and lower limbs to progressing from 5Ks to 100-mile ultramarathons is rooted in showing his children what it looks like to do your best with what you’ve been given.

This episode explores the Living Adaptive mindset, mental health, bullying and trauma, the Exosym device, and the power of incremental progress in endurance sports. Scott shares why curiosity matters more than ego, why compassion is forged in hard times, and how community fuels long-term resilience.

Living Adaptive isn’t just about adaptive sport.

It’s about meeting reality with courage and choosing growth anyway.

🎧 Tune in, reflect, and keep moving forward...one honest mile at a time.
