Podcasts about Comeback Story

He lost most of his leg, two lungs got cracked open, and somehow he still walked it off—literally. Jeff Bryant's life was all about basketball—until a swollen leg led to a diagnosis of high-grade osteosarcoma. What followed was a wild medical journey: a full femur and knee replacement, the loss of three out of four quadriceps, two lung surgeries, and multiple reconstructive operations. But Jeff didn't just survive—he came back swinging, walking hospital laps days after surgery, mentoring other patients, and even launching an international young adult cancer support network. This episode dives deep into the physical pain, the mental grit, and the community that helped Jeff keep going. From titanium bones to Final Four tickets, this is a story of resilience, purpose, and finding new dreams when old ones get ripped away.

In today's episode, I'm exploring practical ways to regain a sense of peace and direction when divorce has turned your world upside down.

Bouncing Back from Hardships: Your comeback story starts now. Ever thought about starting your own podcast?

What does it take to go from thinking you've run your last race to standing on the Olympic podium? Today on the Runna Podcast, we're joined by Georgia Hunter Bell, Olympic bronze medalist and National record holder. Georgia's journey is anything but ordinary and we unpacked it all…What we spoke about:

“  If you love Dirty Dancing and you've never been to Mountain Lake Lodge, you do get that sense that you have arrived at Kellerman's. The big stone iconic lodge from the movie, it's timeless. Right? There's no way to improve the lodge, it is a forever kind of place. But what you see is the place refreshed.”  We're in great company with Heidi Stone, the President and CEO of Mountain Lake Lodge, the “Miracle on the Mountain” as locals call it. It was Heidi's visionary role in this classic comeback story that saved a nearly forgotten gem, transforming it into the timeless, thriving, and award-winning lodging destination it is today. Set amongst the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and nestled in the middle of a nature preserve, this historic mountain lodge provides the ultimate rustic retreat with a rich history to pair with its romantic setting. In this episode, Heidi shares how her endless desire to fix things led her to Mountain Lake Lodge, where she has fought to keep the Dirty Dancing spirit alive, ensuring that the story doesn't end there.  As we begin Season 8 of our series, Heidi exemplifies the resilience and resourcefulness -  characteristics shared amongst many of our guests - that are necessary in this profession. Perhaps Johnny Castle said it best, “nobody puts Baby in a corner.”   Top Takeaways [1:45] Sometimes it takes learning from the big brands to realize that you were destined to build and create for yourself, as Heidi learned throughout her hospitality career from Disney to today.  [6:00] If the grounds and the halls of Mountain Lake Lodge could talk, there would be so much to share about its illustrious past dating back to 1851. Listen as Heidi takes us back in time to a few of those pivotal moments set against the backdrop of American history.  [8:10] Many associate and can already picture Mountain Lake Lodge as Kellerman's Mountain House, the backdrop for the iconic romantic drama dance film, Dirty Dancing which has remained an 80's cult classic to this day.  [10:40] “ I really find a tremendous amount of satisfaction from fixing things, saving things, turning things around. There's just a tremendous amount of soul satisfaction when you take something that's severely broken and you turn it into this alive, vibrant, living, breathing thing.” [20:50] Mountain Lake Lodge offers activities for all ages to stay and play - from lacing up our hiking boots to set off on a hidden gem excursion, to rolling up our sleeves in the artist studio, to popping popcorn while we relive the set of “Dirty Dancing” - there is always something special in season.   [28:20] The future of Mountain Lake Lodge will speak to all your senses - from new seasonal flavors and local ingredients on the menu to the opening of a full-service spa set in the soothing natural surroundings. [31:00] Heidi shares a powerful message we all should hear, as professionals in hospitality or travelers who choose to spend our money on these experiences - that there should be a sense of camaraderie, not competition, when small businesses form a collective which empowers a louder voice with more stories to be shared.  Notable Mentions Jennifer Grey as Frances “Baby” Houseman  Patrick Swayze as Johnny Castle  Pawpaw Fruit Tree Cascades Trail  Visit For YourselfMountain Lake Lodge Website | @mtnlakelodge

Honey, I'm hooooome! Well hey, friend! It's been a minute, hasn't it? This episode is a little different because it's just me catching you up on everything that's happened over the last year (spoiler: it's been a lot). From rebranding to launching (and kinda tanking) a summit, to rediscovering my direction and passion, I'm sharing the messy, behind-the-scenes journey that led me to where I am today.I'm talking about walking away from what wasn't aligned, rebuilding my business after what felt like a wildly long identity crisis, and finally embracing the things I'm like, really good at. Plus, I'm spilling all the tea on the evolution of this podcast, what's next for Visionaries, and how I'm entering my Daily Sales Era (it's a whole thing). Let's catch up!What's inside this episode:Why I walked away from a huge part of my business and went through (what felt like) pivot after pivot after pivotWhat a cease-and-desist taught me about rebranding and resilienceWhy staying in alignment ultimately matters more to me than sticking to a business modelMy 'phoenix rising from the ashes moment' from turning a year of (what felt like) epic failure into ultimate clarityCreating a business that fuels your life *right NOW*, not the other way aroundWhat 2024 taught me about resilience, identity, and the art of the pivotWhy Visionaries is the brand I've been waiting to build all alongConnect with Adriane: Adriane's Instagram Visionaries' Instagram Adriane's LinkedIn Visit the Visionaries website ⭐️ Love this episode?

There's an incredible story unfolding at Redwood National & State Parks. Redwood National Park Superintendent, Steve Mietz, joined the podcast to discuss the amazing restoration efforts that are happening with the redwood forests in Northern California. The parks are focused on restoration as opposed to preservation. In addition to restoring old-growth redwood forests, Superintendent Mietz also discussed the reintroduction of the California Condor.One huge side effect of the current restoration efforts it's the revival of the cultural heritage in this area with many local tribes. Superintendent Mietz is incredible. I had such a blast spending time with him, I hope you enjoy this episode. You can also watch this full podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/FsC-A4SPaZU___Follow us on social!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/safetravelspodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@safetravelspodYouTube: youtube.com/@safetravelspodSafetravelspod.com

Island, das Land der Vulkane, Fjorde, Geysire. Wer sich durch Social Media scrollt, kann der Schönheit der Insel einfach nicht entkommen. Dass ausgerechnet Island als Sehnsuchtsort inzwischen so abgeht im Netz, ist Teil einer unglaublichen Comeback-Story. Vor ein paar Jahren noch war Island pleite. Aber die Macht der Influencer hat die Insel wieder auf die Beine gebracht. Wie sie das geschafft haben - das erklären uns Nordeuropa-Korrespondent Christian Blenker und die Buch-Autorin Berit Glanz, die seit vielen Jahren auf Island lebt. Die beiden waren für eine neue Weltspiegel-Doku unterwegs. Im Podcast erzählen sie unserem Host Philipp Abresch von ihren erstaunlichen Begegnungen mit Celebrity- Influencern, die auch mal mit dem Heli über die Gletscher fliegen und von ihren eigenen Abenteuern im eisigen Wasser der isländischen Fjorde. Berit und Christian erklären, wie modernes Tourismus-Marketing heutzutage funktioniert und auch, wie der Massentourismus Island verändert hat. ----- Moderation: Philipp Abresch Redaktion: Udo Schmidt, Philipp Weber Redaktionsschluss: 10.
