Born in Savlamar, Jamaica, Akeem didn't have much of an advantage from the beginning. With limited options and tragic events happening early in life, he moved to Canada with his mother seeking a better life. However, they fell into tough times and struggled to find stability, moving many different times in a short period of time. Down but not out, with the help of some friends, they were able to get back on their feet.  Akeem became involved in sports, mainly football and track and field. Akeem excelled both on the field and on the track and won many different awards.   In the 11th grade, he started to gain offers from Division I schools in the United States. Nevertheless, Akeem's path to becoming an NCAA Division I student-athlete was not smooth.  After failed attempts with the S.A.T. and the A.C.T. once, Akeem did not get the scores he needed to accept a full athletic scholarship from an NCAA institution. You would think all of this adversity on top of having multiple learning disabilities would've stopped Akeem from furthering his education.  But quitting has never been an option.  He attended Barton Community College in the fall of 2010.  Two years later he would go on to make his first Canadian Olympic Team and earn All-American honours, becoming a national champion and earning a full athletic scholarship to The University of Alabama. Akeem eventually went on to become the first in his immediate family to graduate from college on top of becoming a Division I Track and Field All-American. Through perseverance, a resilient mindset and a stubborn attitude to succeed, Akeem has become a 2x Olympian (2012 & 2016), helping Canada bring home an Olympic Bronze Medal at the Rio Olympic Games. With an intriguing story and captivating delivery, Akeem takes you through the highs and lows, and shows you what a resilient mindset can achieve.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

JV and Akeem discuss his career in track and field, and football, and lay out the keys to success for all athletes. I'd like to extend my thanks once more to Akeem. It was an honor to speak with you, and I truly appreciate your time and efforts to come onto the show.

Our guest today is Akeem Haynes, athlete, author, motivational speaker and podcast host who, after overcoming various stages of homelessness to win an Olympic medal, now specialises in promoting resilience and inspiring people to find the good in whatever obstacles, setbacks or opposition they may be facing. Akeem's message is that hope can always be found if you know where to look and this, as well as so many of the other practices we discuss in this conversation - including challenging and changing our perspectives and 24-7 gratitude - are traits we can all cultivate if we want to head into a new year with a positive mindset. And we love the fact that instead of making more resolutions at this time of year, Akeem chooses to look back at what didn't get done last year and focuses on that. Be More Akeem shall be our mantra for 2022. IN THIS EPISODE: Why we are what we read, watch, do and eat Why a person's purpose is ‘a way to serve that is authentic to themselves and their gifts' Why self-perspective is better than self-help How autobiographies inspire us because they remind us that super successful people weren't always at the top Why none of us know how strong we can be until we're tested, and that the more challenges we face the more we will develop We Akeem favours monthly resolutions over sweeping New Year's changes Why he always buys two copies of important books Why we all need ice cream, massage and a hot shower Why gratitude isn't just a cute statement, it's a way of life Why your scars don't need to dictate your future BOOKS REFERENCED: Solve for Happy by Mo Gawdat > https://amzn.to/3GgPgXb Bundini: Don't Believe the Hype by Todd D.

At the age of 7, he moved to Canada for a better life with his mother. Shockingly, at the age of 13, Akeem and his mother became homeless and lived at a bus stop for a period of time.

Akeem went on to represent Canada in 2 Olympic games (2012-2016), and in 2016 he helped Canada break a 25 year record and win a bronze medal in the process. Along with his athletic accomplishments, he is a twice published author and now an international motivational speaker who helps individuals and organizations develop a resilient mindset to overcome their own obstacles.Listen as we discuss:Akeem's harrowing story of coming home from school one day, only to find his mother packing their belongings in garbage bags on a freezing cold dayHow they ended up living at a bus stop until an angelic woman took them inHis feelings of gratitude for not having gone through the experience aloneI ask, and he answers: How could humanity let that happen to a mother and child?Why it's so hard to ask for help, and the futility of trying to do everything yourselfBecoming a superheroSharing your story to pave the way for othersGetting better vs getting bitterThe inspiring evening primrose, which is beautiful, but grows in the darkThe loss of my son Ali, and how I realized there was never a deal that assumed he'd stay foreverWhy do bad things happen to good people?How different perspectives manifest around you when a flight is delayedInstagram: @solve.for.happy, @onebillionhappy, @mo_gawdatFacebook: Slo Mo, onebillionhappyLinkedIn: /in/mogawdatConnect with Akeem Haynes on Instagram @underdogakh, on Twitter @underdogakh, on Facebook @Akinspires, and his website, akeeminspires.comDon't forget to subscribe to Slo Mo for new episodes every Sunday and Thursday.
