What a stellar line-up of speakers we had to kick off 2025: Pendulum Summit Speakers. The Pendulum Summit was held last week in Dublin's Convention Centre on the 8th and 9th of January. Reviewed by Marie-Clare Byard @NowMediaLive. This annual event brings together both local and international speakers from diverse fields, including psychology, technology, sport, military, AI, futurism, and more. Running for over a decade, it was founded by Irish former professional rugby star Frankie Sheahan and his wife, Norma Sheahan. Nick Santonastasso - Overcoming Challenges - Personal Growth Nick was born with a rare genetic disorder, Hanhart Syndrome, leaving him with no legs and only one arm. He was the 12th baby in medical history with this diagnosis. Growing up in New York City, he endured being called names like "cripple" and "freak" and was told he would never amount to anything. At 14, he contemplated suicide but found strength in fitness, bodybuilding and wrestling, an extraordinary choice given his physique. He moved to Florida to pursue wrestling, he joined a gym, was invited to a mastermind group and went along, curious to see what it was about, here he connected with his now business partner. At just 28, Nick had no idea who Tony Robbins was when his business partner promised to get him on stage with Robbins. Today, Nick is based in Dubai, motivating global audiences and working alongside Tony Robbins. As Nick says, "You are the sum of the people you surround yourself with." https://x.com/Irish_TechNews/status/1876933342228095333 Ray Nolan - Entrepreneurship Ray Nolan left school at 16, taught himself coding, and became a software expert. Observing the cumbersome process of booking hostels, he invested €100,000 to develop Hostelworld, which eventually sold for just over €200 million. Not content to rest, Ray was back at work a week later. He pitched a bid to buy Skyscanner, but the deal didn't happen. Ray was later invited by the 3 owners to join Skyscanner as Chairman to help them exit. His secret? Informal pub chats with each founder to understand their true goals for the business and in life, he helped grow an initial $30 million offer to a $1.8 billion sale. His mantra? "Make it easy to buy." https://x.com/Irish_TechNews/status/1876968516416311549 Dr. Heather McKee - Behavioural Psychology "Happiness is the key to long-term success," said Dr Heather McKee. Combining academic research with practical insights, she helps people build sustainable habits. Her advice: "Create a joy list" and layer habits onto moments of joy. She insists, "There's no secret ingredient. You are the only one who can change your habits." Ask her about habits, and she'll dive deeper than you've ever seen. https://x.com/Irish_TechNews/status/1876999939009482764 Jimmy Carr - Humour in Leadership Jimmy's talk was as edgy as expected. He remarked that the cause of "woke culture" is the overproduction of elite schools! He advocated teaching storytelling in schools to help people find their authentic voice. "The shortest distance between two people is a laugh," he said. He also reflected on the pain of being cancelled, he observed, "It's not the words of your enemies, but the silence of your friends" that cuts deepest. We are tribal and need to come together. Show the world who you are, not shouting affirmations in the mirror! Give empathy and agency to both those you like and don't like. Dr. Lollie Mancey, Anthropologist, future readiness "Knowledge is not in deficit, but be cautious about what you outsource to AI," advised Dr Lollie Mancey. She emphasised that our brains, like our bodies, need regular exercise. "If you don't use it, you lose it." Dr Mancey highlighted our growing dependence on technology, noting that losing our smartphone triggers the same "fight or flight" response as a physical threat, underscoring the emotional impact, when viewed under a brain scan.

Collette had the amazing opportunity to meet and spend some time with Nick Santonastasso. He talked to her kids about mindset, and even wrestled with Russell. Nick was born with Hanhart Syndrome, a genetic disorder which stunts growth of limbs in babies, often leaving them with undeveloped organs. The survival rate for those with the condition is 30%. Nick wrestled in highschool and went on to become a successful bodybuilder, fitness athlete, and motivational speaker.  Listen in as she shares with us her experience and what she learned from Nick.  You can find Nick @nicksantonastasso

Nick is a medical miracle. Not only is he one of four people alive with the rare genetic condition, Hanhart Syndrome, the inspirational keynote speaker is an internationally known bodybuilder and fitness model – despite missing both his legs and one arm since birth. The high-energy youth shares his amazing story, showing people that anyone can thrive if they have the determination and willpower to go after what they want. When Nick was born, the doctors handed his parents a long list of things that he would never be able to do.” Nick’s parents politely thanked them and threw the list out. They raised Nick the same way they had raised his three able-bodied older siblings and instilled in him never to let the world tell him what he could or couldn’t do. In this interview Nick shares how that foundation led him to becoming the influencer he is today and how we too can discover our own personal victories along our journey. In this episode you will discover: The amazing opportunities that evolve when you focus on the positive versus the negative  How the quality of your life is a direct reflection of the quality of the questions you ask The more you understand the way your brain operates the more you can take your mindset to the next level of thinking and so much more!

In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have a superb guest, Nick Santonastaso who shares his inspiring life story and insights of making your dreams happen, how to push beyond your limits, how to gain confidence, why the WHY is more important than HOW, the power of thoughts and clarity, and how to achieve happily and fulfilled life! Nick Santonastaso is a global keynote speaker, a professional model, and bodybuilder, a best-selling author, has featured on Forbes and shared stages with Tony Robbins. He has made cameos on TV shows like “The Walking Dead” and has become a social media sensation gaining more than 1 million followers on “Vine” in less than a year. In 2017, he won the 3rd place in his first competition in bodybuilding at the “Iron Bay Classic”. His accomplishments in the gym have been featured in Men’s Health, The Independent, and CNN’s Great Big Story. Currently, Nick is inspiring people globally by sharing his experience as a keynote speaker and a coach at conferences, professional sports teams as well as Fortune 500 companies. Teaching the youths to push beyond their limiting beliefs and live a life that has NO LIMITS. Nick already helped to inspire GIANTS in today's world, such as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Ed Mylett, and many more.  Nick was born with Hanhart Syndrome with no leg and one arm. He was the 12th baby in the medical history that was born with that birth defect and gave him 30% of chances to live because out of the twelve, eight of them had passed away. Unfortunately, Nick is super blessed to have very supportive parents. They’ve cast those limiting beliefs of the things Nick can’t accomplish with. They were determined to give him a good life and believed that he could outshine on his limitations. Nick’s dad promised to be his arms and legs until the day he dies. As expected, the world was so hard for Nick, especially during middle school.  It was a very dark place for him where he experienced bullying. He started to question himself “WHY ME?”, and was not exempted from that victim mentality. The worst thing is Nick hated himself. He was thinking that his body is the biggest curse and the most disgusting thing to him. Until one day Nick realized he had to change his life. Find the things that make him comfortable in order to gain confidence, and to avoid a miserable life. He was determined to shift his mindset and focus on positive things.  He believed that nothing is impossible and he could be whatever he wanted to be. But then again, Nick was not an instant Mindset King. Things didn’t just happen for him but were constant progress of creating reality. He experienced downfalls but sees it as strength and gifts that mold him as a person to grow. Nick believes that life is a game and more opportunities come into your life if you control the game. He keeps working towards his dream and it’s worth it. Now, Nick has found clarity, happiness, and fulfillment in life. His mission is to contribute and give impact to the world by helping the kids. He believes that he could change teens’ life by giving them the knowledge, perspective, and the tools to overcome difficulties and live the best life. Nick wanted to be “The Mindset Guide for the Kids”, by showing his biggest superpower to make people comfortable through sharing inspirational and actionable videos for kids, as well as building a community for parents.  Nick believes that kids are very receptive. Therefore, the best thing we can do is plant seeds. Plant seeds of contribution, plant seeds of how you can give fulfillment, and of how we can gain confidence, creating winners, giving them the victorious mindset, and teaching them how to teach and help others. Take the action now so your kids can win the future! Some Questions I Ask: Who is Nick Santonastaso?

This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Nick Santonastasso. Nick is a medical miracle. Not only is he one of four people alive with the rare genetic condition, Hanhart Syndrome, but the inspirational keynote speaker is also an internationally known bodybuilder and fitness model – despite missing both his legs and one arm since birth. Nick has been featured everywhere from Forbes to the Today Show, FOX, TLC, BBC, Inside Edition, and MTV. He got his start on Vine making prankster videos and I have to say, they are hilarious, especially the zombie pranks. As owner of Raw Mettle Enterprises, Nick is a speaker, coach, consultant, and author of the new book Victim to Victor, How to Overcome the Victim Mentality to Live the Life You Love. The Rock said this about Nick, “think about this for a second, Nick was born with one arm and no legs. In his mind, there’s nothing he can’t do and he’s right. He’s right because he does everything he sets his mind to. Life deals us cards on a daily basis, but we always get to decide how we’re gonna play them. Thanks Nick for helping me frame my perspective on life just a little bit more.” Now, it’s time for Nick to help you frame yours a little bit more… www.BookNickSanto.com @NickSantonastasso on Social Nick was born with Hanhart syndrome, a super rare syndrome that either leaves a baby born with undeveloped limbs or organs. Nick was the 12th person ever born with this syndrome and 8 of the other passed away due to undeveloped organs. Nick was given a 30% chance to live but made it as his organs were 100% healthy. From there he was just a kid like any other until he got to middle school and high school where he began to be noticed as different. Middle and High school were his low points. He hated his body, he questioned why he was born the way he was. Nick sought out support and joined wrestling – but to do so, he had to voluntarily amputate 5 inches of his one limb to be able to move in the ways he needed to. He wrestled his junior and senior year which lead him into having fun doing skits on Vine. That lead him to body building and then into motivation and keynote speaking and even fitness modeling. With all that you’ve done, what is the most important thing you’ve learned that you feel others must know? Life is all perspective. Your mindset is your biggest superpower. The way you think, your mind, is the one thing that can allow you to do everything or hold you back from everything. How do people train themselves to control their mind and ways of thinking? Our mind is basically a computer and it is programmed through our environment. The key is to identify the bad habits – admit to them and then start instilling good habits. Then repetition is needed to make the change to the new habit stick and become normal. Working on yourself takes a while – it is a process can only be done through time. How do we maintain perspective? Sit and think about a moment in the past that you felt was negative. Pull out one good piece of information from that event – a lesson, a thought, etc. There is always something good… The habit part is to develop a mantra that every time something negative happens to us to ask, “What’s the good in this?” Find the good. Focusing on the negative doesn’t serve us. There is a way to gain in everything. Nelson Mandela, “You don’t lose. You learn, or you win.” At the 14 min mark, Nick talks about his book “From Victim to Victor” and we start a big discussion on the victim mentality. Nick favorite story from the book and lesson? The story of how no one wanted to sit next to him on a plane. The lesson is the meaning you attach to things. We dictate how we look at things, respond to them, and how much we let them affect us, etc. When faced with a tough circumstance, challenge, or negative situation – Ask yourself, “What’s it going to be? What meaning will I choose to give to this?” Thought on Leadership? Great leaders are people persons Everything you do has a lasting effect You have to connect with people and help them and guide them to all rowing the boat in the same direction People know when they are getting BS’d. Don’t BS people. If you don’t genuinely care for people – it is hard to be a leader. Tell us your thoughts on victimhood and those playing the role of the victim and what you think the answer is… Parents are having a difficult time raising kids in today’s world. We seem to be missing some core beliefs being instilled in our lives such as gratitude. The solution to Victim mentality is not only instilling a core set of beliefs but also confidence. When people feel better about themselves and gain confidence, they move out of victimhood. The way you build confidence is to set “micro-goals.” For example: You make the goal wake up 30 mins earlier so that you can workout for 30 mins, etc. and you do it. Very quickly after doing it, you will feel better, accomplished. When you do this, you build that relationship with yourself, so you know who you are, you create and know your self-integrity. You know when you commit to something, you will get it done. Confidence is having a relationship that is so good with yourself that it doesn’t matter what the outside world thinks of you or does to you. The biggest limiting beliefs come in the from of not having confidence in yourself. If you are in a slump, do one thing, big or little, that you know will make you into a better person and you will begin to build momentum. Nicks biggest realization: You have one life. The chances you are alive are so small. Get moving and make everything you can out of that life. “Regardless of whatever hand that life has dealt us, it is our duty to play that hand to the best of our ability.” At the 38 min mark, Nick talks about how to annihilate excuses…the flips the stables on me. Best pieces of advice on entrepreneurship? Things are always going to go wrong. If you are going to blame someone for the bad, you have to recognize and acknowledge them for the good as well. Do your best to work with people that honor and share your core values and have alignment.   Best Quote: “Regardless of whatever hand that life has dealt us, it is our duty to play that hand to the best of our ability.”   Nick's Misfit 3: Live in a state of gratitude and implement it into your life. Starting your day off with gratitude is starting your day off on the right foot – and I don’t have a right foot, so if I can do it, you can do it too! Perspective is the meaning you attach to things. Ask, “What good is there in this?” You have to be your biggest cheerleader. Change your language and change your life. Use only empowering words for yourself.

Nick Santonastasso is a medical miracle and a truly wonderful human. He is one of four people alive with the rare genetic condition, Hanhart Syndrome, and has overcome incredible  odds to not only survive but thrive. Nick has gone on to become an inspirational keynote speaker, an internationally known bodybuilder, and a fitness model – despite missing both his legs and one arm since birth. In today's episode of the Daily Helping, this high-energy youth shares his amazing story, showing people that anyone can thrive if they have the determination and willpower to go after what they want. He has made cameos on TV shows like “The Walking Dead” and has become a social media sensation, gaining more than 1 million followers on “Vine” in less than a year. Now, Nick is sharing his experience with people all over the world as a keynote speaker at schools, universities, nonprofits as well as Fortune 500 companies. He is using his challenges to inspire others to push beyond their suffering and live a life that has NO LIMITS. Nick has already helped to inspire such giants as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Tony Robbins, and Gary Vaynerchuk. Nick's book, Victim to Victor: How to Overcome the Victim Mentality To Live The Life You Love includes twelve personal stories from Nick's journey, each followed with actionable strategies to consider and apply to your life.   “Your authentic self is the sexiest, most beautiful thing you can be.”   Nick's thoughts on the power of reframing: In your life, are you going to be the victim in each situation, or will you be the victor? It's up to you to decide how each event affects you and how you react. Consider that things are happening for you, not to you.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway   People need to do more things that they love. They need to do more things that make them feel good, and they need to realize: success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure. You can have all the money in the world, but if you aren't doing something that fulfills you and makes you feel good, there will always be an emptiness there. Life is all about perspective, and the more perspective you can gain, the more easy and simple your life is. The things that we complain about on a day to day basis - in the grand scheme of life, they aren't problems or challenges.   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

Nick Santonastasso personifies the concept of inspiration. Nick was born with a very rare condition called Hanhart Syndrome, only 3 out of 12 others Born with this condition are alive . Although he survived, Nick was born legless and with only a portion of one of his arms. Nick has not allowed any of those challenges to stop him from achieving his biggest dreams. He doesn't use prosthetics to get around—he is pictured usually standing upright on what is left of his legs, rarely without a massive grin. Santonastasso gained fame as a teenager with his prank videos—notably, one where  he dressed up as a zombie and scared Walking Dead actor Norman Reedus. Today, he spends most of his time in the gym and doing motivational speaking.  I am rarely speechless in any interview and don’t lose my composure or control of my emotions. However , there is a moment in this interview of such incredible emotion inspiration that I couldn’t quite pull it together. I know you will feel the same. This interview will change your life, PERIOD. Your life and the lives of your family, friends and colleagues will never be the same again.I’m humbled, privileged and honored to share this inspiring conversation with you.

When Nick Santonastasso was born, he was given a 30% chance of surviving birth. One of only 12 people in the world born with Hanhart Syndrome – an extremely rare genetic disorder that caused Nick to be born with no legs, only one arm, and one finger. Growing up was hard, and Nick found himself self-loathing and thinking about ending his life. However, more than just surviving, Nick found his WHY when he became a high school wrestler and professional bodybuilder. Now, he is sharing his experience with people all over the world as a keynote speaker at schools, non-profits, as well as Fortune 500 companies. He can even count Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Tony Robbins among his admirers. I’m meeting Nick for the very first time today on the podcast. He shares stories of how he overcame his limitations to achieve everything he’s ever wanted, so that you can do the same. You’ll hear about what he did to survive the darkest years of his life, and how he’s built a truly extraordinary career out of using challenges to inspire people to push through their suffering and live life without limitations - just like he does.

If Nick Santonastasso can wake-up grateful every day, what's your excuse? At 21 years old, he already holds rank as an internet sensation and fitness champion and is now making rounds as a motivational speaker whose story resonates with audiences worldwide. What makes Nick such an inspiration? Nick was born with Hanhart Syndrome, a rare condition that affects the development of limbs and organs. With a 30% chance of survival, Nick was fortunate that his organs were unaffected by the defect. Instead, Hanhart Syndrome deprived him of both legs and a portion of one arm—which hasn't stopped him one bit. From voluntarily amputating the remainder of his right arm so that he could compete on the school wrestling team to waking up every day in a determined state of gratitude, Nick Santonastasso's story is nothing short of remarkable. “I realized early on that he world isn't going to stop for me just because I was born like this,” he tells Brad. “Life is fast; it's important to keep perspective.” So, we'll ask you again, what's your excuse?

  Nick Santonastasso is a fitness athlete, model, motivational speaker, and the CEO of Raw Mettle Motivations. Nick was diagnosed at birth with Hanhart Syndrome which is an extremely rare genetic disorder that can either leave the baby with undeveloped organs or limbs with only a 30% chance to live. With there only being 12 known cases, and unfortunately 9 of them resulting in death, Nick is forever grateful to be alive and to be able to bring extreme value to others lives. When Nick was a sophomore in highschool he made the decision to amputate some of his shorter arm so he was able to use it more physically and become a wrestler. With his never give up mindset and extreme work ethic, after being a JV wrestler his junior year, he became the 106lb varsity wrestler of his high school Central Regional in Bayville, NJ. Ever since the age of 12 Nick has been all over TV including appearances on The Today Show, CNN, and FOX. However when the popular app Vine came out, Nick became an internet sensation with his massively viral zombie pranks that led him to getting hired by FOX International to prank Norman Reedus of The Walking Dead in Tokyo, Japan.   In this episode we dive into gratitude, adapting to the world around you, and not allowing the cards your dealt dictate whether you win at life or not.
