From Hockey Dreams to Life Lessons | Ross Bernstein | Devon Harris
What happens when passion, perseverance, and an unshakable attitude come together? You get Ross Bernstein—a man who turned life’s toughest setbacks into opportunities and built an incredible career fueled by his love for hockey and storytelling. Ross’s journey started at just 10 years old, when he watched the Miracle on Ice—the 1980 U.S. hockey team’s legendary victory over the Soviet Union. That unforgettable moment lit a fire within him, sparking a dream to be part of the game. Determined, he tried out for the University of Minnesota hockey team, but fate had something else in store. Instead of making the roster, he landed an unexpected role—as the team’s mascot. His hockey skills may not have impressed the coaches, but his relentless energy and unwavering spirit did. As Ross puts it, "Will beats skill." That mindset pushed him to take a bold risk—he invested his graduate school savings into writing his first book. It was a gamble that paid off, turning into a runaway success and launching him into a career as a best-selling author and sought-after speaker. One of the most influential figures in his life was Herb Brooks, the legendary coach behind the Miracle on Ice. Over time, they developed a deep friendship and even became business partners, collaborating on a book together. But when Brooks tragically died in a car accident, Ross was faced with yet another test of resilience. Instead of letting grief consume him, he searched for the silver lining and found a way to honor his mentor’s legacy—co-founding the Herb Brooks Foundation with Herb’s family to continue inspiring young athletes. In this powerful conversation with Devon Harris, Ross opens up about how life’s toughest moments can lead to extraordinary success, the invaluable lessons he’s learned from elite athletes, and why attitude, resilience, and heart always outweigh pure talent. Tune in for a conversation filled with grit, passion, and the unbreakable will to win—on and off the ice!

Own Your Choices, Own Your Power – A Must-Listen Episode of Keep On Pushing Stories
Success can teach us valuable lessons—but sometimes, it’s failure that truly transforms us. In this raw and eye-opening episode of Keep On Pushing Stories, three-time Olympian and motivational speaker Devon Harris sits down with Marques Ogden, a former NFL player turned entrepreneur whose story is a powerful reminder that true leadership begins with humility, accountability, and self-awareness. After retiring from football, Marques built Baltimore’s largest African American-owned construction company. His success skyrocketed—but so did his ego. He mistreated employees, pushed away his best talent, and ignored the warning signs. Then, just two days before Christmas, everything fell apart—his bank pulled his line of credit after he overspent a project by more than $3 million, leaving him bankrupt and struggling to stay afloat. Once the owner of a multimillion-dollar business, Marques suddenly found himself working the graveyard shift as a custodian for $8.23 an hour, just to support his family. Even then, he refused to take ownership, pointing fingers instead of looking in the mirror. His real transformation began when he stopped making excuses and took full responsibility. He learned to subordinate his ego, trust and empower others, and lead with empathy—an approach he now calls dynamic insubordination. By embracing humility, service, and self-reflection, Marques rebuilt his life and discovered that true power comes from owning your choices. If you've ever faced setbacks, struggled with ego, or found it difficult to take accountability, this episode is for you. Join Devon and Marques for a candid, inspiring conversation on learning from failure, leading with integrity, and reclaiming your personal power. Tune in to Own Your Choices, Own Your Power and discover how embracing responsibility can unlock your greatest potential. #KeepOnPushing #OwnYourPower #Accountability #Leadership #Resilience #LearnFromFailure

The Resilient Blade: Strength Through Compassion – A Must-Listen Episode of Keep On Pushing Stories
What happens when everything you’ve worked for is suddenly on the line? When the dream you’ve spent years building comes crashing down in an instant? In this deeply personal and powerful episode of Keep On Pushing Stories, three-time Olympian and motivational speaker Devon Harris sits down with Laurence Halsted, a British Olympic fencer whose journey through injury, self-doubt, and resilience reshaped his entire outlook on success. Laurence was at the top of his game, a guaranteed pick for the 2012 London Olympics—until disaster struck. In the very first training session of the year, he broke his wrist—the wrist of his sword arm. In that single moment, everything changed. Four months without even touching a sword felt like an eternity, marking the darkest period of his career—and his life. Suddenly, what once seemed like a sure path to the Olympics became uncertain. Would he recover in time? Would he even make the team? Fear, frustration, and self-criticism nearly consumed him. But then, he made a life-changing choice. Instead of letting doubt take over, Laurence worked with a sports psychologist to redefine his identity—not just as an athlete, but as a person. He stopped measuring his worth solely by results and instead focused on showing up, giving his best, and embracing the outcome—whatever it might be. His resilience paid off. Though he wasn’t selected for the individual event, he fought his way onto the team event squad—and when he stepped onto the Olympic stage, it became the proudest moment of his career. But even more than his performance, Laurence was proud of the teammate, the competitor, and the person he had become. If you’ve ever faced a major setback, struggled with self-doubt, or had to redefine success on your own terms, this episode is for you. Join Devon and Laurence for a powerful conversation on resilience, self-acceptance, and the unexpected lessons that come from life’s toughest moments. Tune in to The Resilient Blade: Strength Through Compassion and discover why true strength isn’t just about winning—it’s about who you become in the process. #KeepOnPushing #ResilientBlade #StrengthThroughCompassion #OlympicMindset #OvercomingSetbacks #RedefiningSuccess

Clare, Sr. OD, a man who turned uncertainty into opportunity and built a legacy of impact along the way. For years, Irwine thrived in corporate America, but when he was downsized, he found himself at a crossroads—a family to support, but no clear direction.

Along with his business partner, he co-founded Caribbean Immigrant Services, an organization committed to helping Caribbean nationals navigate the complex path to U.S. citizenship and protect their investments in their adopted homeland. His journey from corporate professional to entrepreneur and community leader is proof that transitions—even the unexpected ones—can lead to incredible opportunities.

In this inspiring episode of Keep On Pushing Stories, three-time Olympian and motivational speaker Devon Harris sits down with Cristian Caponi, a teenage real estate investor from Australia who refused to let his age stand in the way of his ambitions.

In this powerful episode of Keep On Pushing Stories, three-time Olympian and motivational speaker Devon Harris sits down with Cornelia Walters-Jones, a woman who chose to bet on herself, stand her ground, and ultimately emerge stronger than ever. Cornelia’s journey began in Mexico, where, after just four months of Spanish tutoring, she struggled to secure a place in a public university. But instead of letting rejection define her, she persevered—earning admission to a private university and pushing forward against the odds. Her greatest test came during a field trip to Mexico City, where she dared to challenge the authority of the tour leader. The consequences were immediate and severe—she was threatened with suspension, a decision that would not only strip her of her scholarship but jeopardize her academic future.
