Podcasts about Comeback Story

In this short segment of the Revenue Builders Podcast, we revisit the discussion with Dean Otto, a top-performing enterprise sales rep whose life changed in an instant after being struck by a vehicle while cycling. Given a 2% chance of ever walking again, Dean went on to run a half-marathon just one year later—alongside the man who hit him and the neurosurgeon who operated on him.Through forgiveness, faith, relentless work, and a refusal to isolate, Dean rebuilt not only his body but also a powerful community around him. In this clip, he shares the inside story of meeting the driver, reconciling in the hospital, training against all odds, and ultimately proving what grit and connection can achieve. This excerpt is a masterclass in resilience, leadership, and the compounding power of not going through adversity alone.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:29] The accident that changed everything.Dean's 2% chance of walking again and the comeback mission it sparked.[00:01:14] Forgiveness before reconciliation.Dean had forgiven the driver before ever meeting him — a testament to emotional and spiritual maturity.[00:02:02] Will, the driver, reaches out.The surprising request from the man who hit Dean and how that meeting turned into a two-hour connection.[00:03:21] Rebuilding relationships through shared struggle.Dean, Will, and their families build deep bonds and ultimately commit to running together.[00:03:53] Viral impact & platform responsibility.How Dean's story went viral and why he shifted the focus to helping other spinal cord patients.[00:04:52] Returning to work despite severe injury.Balancing recovery with career identity — including Dean closing deals from his hospital bed.[00:06:21] A doctor becomes a runner.Dean's neurosurgeon trains for his own half marathon to stand beside his patient.[00:07:52] Integrity and sacrifice.Will joins the race despite a heart condition, symbolizing commitment far beyond obligation.[00:09:48] A race about more than racing.Dean breaks two hours by five seconds, proving to himself and others what's possible after trauma.[00:10:24] Going back for your people.Dean and the team return to finish the race with Will — the metaphor for leadership and connection.[00:11:12] Isolation kills progress.Communities, companies, and sellers fail alone — but win together.QUOTES[00:01:14] “When I read that part of your story, I was like, whoa — forgiveness and reconciliation.”[00:07:52] “The integrity and thoughtfulness of this young man was unbelievable.”[00:11:12] “Sellers don't make it in isolation. Companies don't make it in isolation.”Listen to the full conversation through the link below.https://revenue-builders.simplecast.com/episodes/the-power-of-belief-with-dean-ottoEnjoying the podcast?

Send us a textPeaches and Trent sit down with Kody Dickerson — the guy who took every hit life could throw: failed run, COVID cruise, family crisis, BUD/S heartbreak, the whole stack. And instead of folding, he rebuilt himself into a SWAT enforcer, gang-unit problem-solver, and CrossFit machine. Kody breaks down the moments that rocked him, the honesty that saved him, and the mindset that pulled him out of a 250-pound fog and back into the fight. If you're still telling yourself “now's not the right time,” Peaches and Trent are basically calling you out.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 The run that nuked everything 05:00 Rescue swimmer or underwater JTAC? 12:20 When home life and the dream collide 25:40 The BUD/S retest reality check 31:10 Choosing family over ego 35:00 Big Macs and rock bottom 39:00 Rebuilding through CrossFit 50:00 From patrol to SWAT alternate 56:00 Project Linear enters the chat 01:00:00 The “what if” that never fully leaves 01:04:00 Why family beats every badge or trident

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:You've followed the “right” steps and things are not where you'd like them to be. This is a time of massive transformation, systems are breaking, hustle culture is broken, nobody wants to wait until some point in the future to be happy. If you are questioning your path, your identity, or your place in this rapidly shifting world — this episode is designed for you.In this very personal 200th episode of The Business Growth Architect Show, I'm going solo and sharing the real story behind what happened after I lost everything in the fire — not the Instagram version, not the polished TED Talk version, but the raw, human truth. It's not pretty. It's confusing, painful, and too big to handle on my own. I talk about the initial shock,  the brutal reality of a piece of yourself missing, living in survival mode, figuring out how to turn aging into wisdom, my fear of feeling obsolete, trying to attempt reinvention at 60.  All leading to the moment I realized I had to rebuild my life and business from the inside out. I'm also sharing the transformation into versin 3.0 and how this experience led me to create something entirely new — a future-focused business model, a SaaS, and even an AI twin.If you've looking to make sense of what you are experiencing or, or quietly hoping something forces you to change… this episode will help you to understand some of the underlying forces.

This week on The Heart of Innovation, we bring you a true story of grit, muscle, and unwavering determination. Meet Deputy John Dent—20 years on the road in West Virginia law enforcement, a body built for durability, and a diagnosis that threatened it all: peripheral artery disease (PAD). He was the guy who'd outrun everyone in the academy at 275 lbs. He was the guy strides ahead of his peers. Then one day his leg seized up in the cruiser. What seemed like a cramp became a blood-clot. A fasciotomy followed. Then the vascular surgeon told him they might have to amputate. "I said, my leg don't need to be cut off," John says. Instead, he dug in. He changed his life. He stayed active. For over a decade, no further surgery. Just gym work, collateral circulation, and refusal to back down. And here's a twist you'll love: during our conversation, John mentions his work intersecting with a West Virginia documentary spotlighting Appalachian realities. (Think Netflix-style rural exposure.) It's a moment where his law-enforcement role met a culture-industry moment—and you'll hear how he processed it. Host Kym McNicholas and Dr. John Phillips walk John through his story—how PAD could've ended his career, his identity, his leg. Instead, it became a mission. Tune in. It's not just a "Save My Piggies" special—it's a "Save My Career, Save My Life" special.

In life, you will get hit. Hard. You will be broken, betrayed, fired, abandoned, and blindsided by things you never saw coming. But this episode is your call to FIGHT — not just for survival, but for your destiny.

When we're in the thick of it and have been there for what feels like far too long, it can be easy to begin to believe the lie that God won't use it and this is a waste or that things will never get better. Or, maybe it's the dark hard things we've been through in the past that we've overcome with God but we just aren't willing to tell anyone yet because we still carry shame not realizing that there is a testimony that's been written there that can carry such power. Friend, God wants to and does use it all for your good and to set others free. Today I discuss how God uses the very things we thought would break us into making us more into the likeness of Him. Take heart -this one will encourage you!WorshipSee A VictoryConnect Website Podcast InstagramPersonal Instagram

What would you do if the scale flashed “error” because it couldn't register your weight? For most men, that might feel like the end—but for Johnny Muresan, it was day one. In this deeply moving and brutally honest episode, I sit down with the man behind Johnny Goes Running to unpack his staggering 160+ pound weight loss journey, his emotional rock bottom, and how a single painful step forward sparked a complete life transformation.   Johnny shares the realities of chronic pain, food addiction, and near-marital collapse—but more importantly, he walks us through how he reclaimed his health, family, and purpose. From running marathons to rebuilding his marriage and launching a community of hope for other men, this conversation will challenge you to rethink what's possible—no matter where you're starting from.     Episode Timeline Highlights [0:00] – Introduction [1:01] – What would you do if the scale read “error”? Johnny's weight reality check. [3:17] – The painful first step and the mindset shift from victimhood to action. [6:49] – Life at nearly 500 lbs: chronic knee pain, parenting while immobile, and losing hope. [14:06] – The wake-up call: realizing his choices were writing his kids' future. [24:09] – How a 30-day water fast broke Johnny's food addiction. [27:42] – Losing 61 pounds in 30 days—and the humble first meal after. [33:08] – How changing food habits restored his health and mindset. [39:02] – His first full marathon—returning to Hawaii where he once hit rock bottom. [45:00] – Rewiring his entire family dynamic by leading with example. [50:11] – Running 82 miles across Tennessee for a cause—on just 11 days' notice. [51:32] – His upcoming book Run Your Life and what it means to take up space where you don't feel you belong.     5 Key Takeaways   1. Rock Bottom is a Starting Line – Johnny didn't wait until he was “ready” or “fit”—he started while in pain, overweight, and discouraged. 2. Living for Your Kids Means Showing Up – Johnny's breakthrough came when he realized he'd die for his kids—but wasn't willing to live for them. 3. Small Wins Compound – From diet soda swaps to walking just a few minutes, Johnny's journey was built on gradual, sustainable steps. 4. Leading by Example Changes Everything – His transformation didn't just affect him—it rewired his entire family's emotional, physical, and relational health. 5. You Belong in Every Room You Enter – Whether it's the start line of a marathon or a new chapter in life, you don't need permission to take up space.       Links & Resources   Follow Johnny on Instagram: @johnnygoesrunning Get your copy of The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood + two free courses: https://thedadedge.com/legendarybook Join the Dad Edge Alliance (Elite Brotherhood): https://thedadedge.com/alliance Explore the Dad Edge Business Boardroom: https://thedadedge.com/businessboardroom Free 21-Day Email Series: 3 Marriage Skills at a Time: https://thedadedge.com/extraordinary-marriage/ 1st Phorm - 1stphorm.com/dadedge       Inspired by Johnny's journey?

When they first had Gigi on the show, she was just breaking out—she hadn't yet released her debut EP, and she was still figuring out her sound. Since then, Gigi's world has turned upside down: she's experienced viral success, lost her record deal, moved back in with her parents, and—against the odds—taught herself how to engineer and record her own full-length album right from her bedroom. In this episode, Gigi opens up about the grief and resilience behind her music, the realities of the music business, and how reclaiming her creative process helped her find joy again. She shares the true story behind her hit “Sailor Song,” the vulnerable songwriting on her new album, and the life-changing lessons she's learned about artistry, community, and self-acceptance. It's an honest look at the highs, lows, and everything in-between for an artist determined to stay true to herself. If you're an aspiring musician or a fan of heartfelt storytelling, this episode is packed with real insight and wisdom.

For most of the last 2,000 years, the white-tailed eagle — or sea eagle — has been one of the most common birds of prey in Britain.That all ended in horrendous fashion from the late 18th century onwards. Shooting, poisoning, egg collection, a mania for taxidermy and more combined to see this majestic creature — affectionately dubbed the 'flying barn door — hunted to extinction in Britain. The last bird is thought to have been killed in 1918.Fast forward a century and they are now one of the great success stories of nature. Starting with four chicks brought to RAF Kinloss in June 1975, a 50-year effort led by the RSPB but supported by a string of other organisations has seen populations restored from the Highlands to West Sussex. The RSPB have celebrated this milestone with the making of a film, Return, which tells the full story, and we're delighted that two of the — conservationist Dave Sexton and musician Alice Boyd — joined the Country Life Podcast to talk to James Fisher about how it all came together.It's a wonderful, inspiring story which shows just what can be done by committed experts, backed by long-term thinking, and is a must-watch for anyone with even a passing interest in wildlife and nature. As of August 29 it's now available to watch on the RSPB's YouTube channel.You can find out more on the RSPB website — rspb.org.uk — about white-tailed eagles themselves, the making of the film and Alice's hauntingly beautiful music which captures the beauty and majesty of these great creatures.
