What Winning Doesn’t Fix | World Karate Champion Zach Forster

What happens when you achieve the dream and life doesn’t feel the way you thought it would? In this episode of Built for Real Life, I sit down with my best mate, HYROX race partner and world karate champion, Zach Forster, for an honest conversation about winning, expectations, and what achievement actually changes. We talk about family, compassion, the way we speak to ourselves, and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what we’re worth. It’s a conversation for anyone who’s ever thought, “Once I achieve this, I’ll finally feel enough.” We explore: • The reality of reaching a goal you’ve spent years chasing • The expectations we carry into competition and everyday life • Family and what matters beyond achievement • Self-talk, compassion and how we respond when we fall short • The stories that shape how we see ourselves Subscribe to Built for Real Life with Solomon Adams for honest conversations about health, connection, purpose and becoming stronger for everyday life.
