EPISODE DESCRIPTION:

In this episode of The Endure Edge, I sit down with hybrid athlete, entrepreneur, and mental performance advocate Jesse Pretorius.

We dive deep into the world of HYROX, hybrid training, and the mental toughness required to push through when both the body and mind are under pressure. Jesse shares how he balances the demands of being a competitive athlete while running his own business — and how entrepreneurship and endurance sport both demand a high level of focus, discipline, and resilience.

From mastering mindset and managing burnout, to building strength from the inside out, this conversation explores what it means to stay in control — in sport, business, and life.

Whether you're an athlete, a founder, or someone navigating high-pressure environments — this one’s packed with real, honest insights.

In this raw and revealing episode, Dale Schnettler — drummer of the legendary South African rock band Prime Circle — opens up about a battle many never saw coming: his struggle with alcohol addiction. Known for his powerful stage presence and relentless rhythm, Dale shares the personal cost behind the music, the hidden pain beneath the spotlight, and the turning point that led him to seek sobriety.

From the highs of international tours to the lows of isolation and addiction, Dale takes us deep into his journey of self-destruction, reckoning, and ultimately, recovery. This is more than a story about a rock star — it’s about vulnerability, resilience, and finding purpose beyond the performance.

Whether you’re a fan of Prime Circle, someone facing your own struggles, or simply seeking a story of hope and redemption, this episode hits hard — and heals deeper.
