## Resource

What does it take to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges and live life to its fullest? In this episode on the Dialed Health podcast, I sit down with Vince Murdock, a professional MMA fighter and founder of Enjoy Cycling Club to discuss this exact thing. Vince shares his incredible journey of resilience, from facing a life-threatening brain condition to competing in the UFC and taking on ultra-endurance cycling events. We discuss life’s challenges and setbacks and how to turn them into opportunities for growth and self-discovery. We also discuss brain surgery, his transition to cycling during recovery, and the founding of Enjoy Cycling Club. Vince Murdock is a professional MMA fighter and founder of Enjoy Cycling Club from Michigan who overcame significant adversity to pursue his dreams. After being diagnosed with Moya Moya, a rare brain condition that required surgery, Vince defied expectations by returning to fighting within a year and later competing in the UFC. During his recovery, he discovered a passion for cycling that led him to create Enjoy Cycling Club, a community-focused group that encourages people to challenge themselves and discover their potential.
