Guiding Light

Jacob Hansen last interviewed with me on April 12, 2020, when he was 17 years old and an unchosen participant, like all of us, during the time of the unprecedented pandemic. Fast forward nearly two years later as we discuss where Jacob is in his life journey and if he still feels like he chose the best path. I want all of you to keep in mind what was true for him back then. Jacob shared with all of us that he knew in his heart at the young age of four that he wanted to serve his country. Therefore, it probably will not come as a surprise that he would decide, without hesitation, to take the less traditional path of leaving high school during his senior year to pursue a career in the United States Army. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/linda-tilson-beacon/support

Growing up, Byron always wanted to do something that mattered, to help other people and impact the world. But, he never really knew what that was. That was until the day his dad was diagnosed with cancer. During treatment his dad had most of his bowel surgically removed and spent 25 days in ICU on life support and breathing through a tracheostomy. This experience led to his own journey of turning his life around and learning everything he could about mindset, psychology, health and high performance, and writing a best-selling book along the way was the result. The more he dived into it, the more he found how much his success had played a role in his Dad getting sick, as at the time, he was working 14 hour days, barely sleeping, under a tremendous amount of pressure, and pushing himself to the limit. All of which eventually took it’s toll. https://byronmorrison.co.uk --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/linda-tilson-beacon/support
