    In this episode of Create Brave, Clair Heaviside sits down with Daniel Temm, CEO of Puresport, to explore what it really means to lead with resilience, purpose, and authenticity.

From growing a run club of 300+ members to launching new running gels, Daniel reveals how community and long-term health, not quick fixes, power Puresport’s success.

    They dive into the company’s challenger mindset in the booming global supplement market, Daniel’s vision to inspire 30 million people in 10 years, and the power of persistence, in both running and leadership.

  • Ep #7 - Erin Short
    Jun 4 2025

    In this powerful episode of Create Brave, tech entrepreneur Erin Short shares his extraordinary journey from an abusive and traumatic childhood to becoming a celebrated founder and military veteran.


    With unflinching honesty, Erin opens up about surviving homelessness, enduring physical and emotional abuse, and how joining the army at 16 gave him the identity and discipline he desperately needed. He reveals how military frameworks helped shape his business philosophy and how he transformed deep personal pain into fuel for success.


    Erin’s story is a raw, deeply human reflection on resilience, identity, and bravery, not as a trait, but as a fleeting decision to act in the face of fear.


    A must-listen for anyone looking to find strength in their struggles.
