Welcome to Second Wind—the podcast where setbacks meet comebacks and reinvention takes center stage. Hosted by five-time Olympian and world champion Marion Jones and Suzanne Evans, NY Times best-selling author, unapologetic business strategist, and one of the most sought-after comeback coaches in the industry, this show dives into the moments when life says, “Um, that didn’t go as planned.”
Marion’s journey has had its share of detours—winning medals, losing medals, even time in federal prison. But here’s the thing: failure is not forever. She found her Second Wind, and now, alongside Suzanne, she’s helping others do the same.
Suzanne knows a thing or two about resilience herself. From being an administrative assistant making $40K a year to building a multimillion-dollar business, she’s helped thousands of entrepreneurs pivot, rebuild, and create unstoppable success.
Together, she and Marion coach high performers to push past obstacles, redefine success, and take bold next steps.
Each episode of Second Wind brings you raw, honest, and inspiring conversations with guests who’ve faced epic wipeouts—only to rise up even stronger.
Because reinvention isn’t just possible—it’s inevitable.
It’s time to catch your Second Wind.
