  • The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt: Transforming Weakness Into Unstoppable Strength
    Feb 8 2026

    Theodore Roosevelt wasn't supposed to make it. Born sickly and asthmatic, doctors told his father he wouldn't survive childhood. But through sheer determination and what he called "the strenuous life," young Teddy transformed himself from a frail boy into one of history's most accomplished figures.


    In this episode, we follow Roosevelt's extraordinary journey from his difficult childhood through his rise to the presidency, covering his self-made transformation, tragic losses, adventures in the Badlands, charge up San Juan Hill, and unlikely path to the White House.


    This is the first in our series on people who dared mighty deeds. Real stories of individuals who refused to accept limitations and achieved extraordinary things.


    Based on the book: The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund Morris
