Description

Playing Injured is the podcast for men who want to grow stronger in every area of life. Every man faces challenges, setbacks, and unseen battles, and how we respond defines the kind of men we become.


Hosted by Josh Dillingham and Mason Eddy, entrepreneurs and former collegiate athletes, Playing Injured ranks in the top 2% of podcasts globally with over 140 episodes.


Every man plays injured spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially. Playing Injured is built on these five dimensions, exploring what it means to keep showing up and growing stronger through life’s tough seasons with raw stories, expert guests, and grounded conversations.


Josh and Mason equip men with the mindset, tools, and stories to build resilience, lead with strength, and thrive even when life feels like they’re playing injured.
