Robert is a friend of mine who has inspired me by everything that he's overcome and gone through in his life. Funny thing is our relationship started with me coaching him but what I got in return was way more inspiration I could imagine.  Robert shares his courageous story of learning to run again after having uncontrollable bowel issues while running. He persevered through his issues and didn't let shame or what others thought of him from becoming the best version of himself. I hope this episode inspires you to take action and not let fear or shame stop you!

In this episode Mike Kitko share's his powerful story of transformation.  Mike had every material thing he ever dreamed of, but was suicidal.  He wouldn't seek support because he was scared to let anyone know he didn't have it all figured out.

He's a Marine veteran, a Fortune 500 executive, and was supposed to be a powerful leader, right?

The truth was he had a toxic relationship with alcohol, was 300 pounds of undisciplined chaos, and was an abusive husband and father. You'll hear Mike's personal moments when he chose to be courageous over fear and how those moments changed his life forever.
