Today on the Stacked Against Podcast we have a conversation with Michael O’Brien, the “Chief Shift Officer” at Peloton Executive Coaching. Michael elevates successful corporate leaders by preventing bad moments from turning into bad days, and he gets into the details in his book The Last Bad Day Shift. His award-winning book Shift: Creating Better Tomorrows, chronicles his last rock-bottom day, his near-death experience, and the journey to recovery. For him, it’s about transforming from being a doer to being a be-er, and he has shared this philosophy on many renowned platforms, from a TEDx stage to media outlets such as Entrepreneur and Fast Company. In this episode, you will hear how awareness differentiates those who live intentional, fulfilling lives from those caught in the stress of the rat race. Being present in your every day is Michael’s recommendation for creating a life of abundant memories and meaning, and he challenges listeners to exchange unhealthy mindsets for ones that embrace stillness and allow for more time with the people and activities they love. We discuss the repercussions of running low on energy and Michael shares about learning that all events are neutral until we assign a meaning to them. This gives us a greater sense of control and removes the victim mentality that we tend to adopt when traumatic events happen. Join us for this episode to learn more about transforming your life for good! Key Points From This Episode:An explanation of his tagline “Have fun storming the castle” from one of his favorite films. Helping corporate people by teaching them to live with more awareness. Learning that everything in life is neutral until you label it – we give meaning to events. Resilience: the ingredient that separates those who are successful from those who are not.

Michael O’Brien is the Chief Shift Officer atPeloton Coaching and Consulting.He elevates successful corporate leaders by preventing bad moments from turning into bad days. His award-winning, best-selling memoir Shift: Creating Better Tomorrows chronicles his Last Bad Day and near-death cycling accident recovery journey. He has shared his inspirational story and transformation from human DOer to human BEing and work and at home on the TEDxstage, with multiple Fortune 500 companies, ABC, Real Simple Fast Company, and many wonderful podcasts like Do a Day. Michael was a successful sales professional and Marketing Director. The same stress that you and your team feel every day burdened him. There were many days when he just wanted to survive. He knew he could be better, but didn’t know how to consistently find the energy to thrive and get closer to being his best. The sad thing is that he didn’t need to be chasing back then. He already had many wonderful reasons to be happy. He was a proud, new dad of two wonderful daughters, had a loving wife who was and still is his best friend, he was healthy, and he had a career filled with promise. But he rationalized his chase and, in hindsight, made up ego-based reasons why he had to keep living that way. Many times, he caught happiness, but like a dog chasing its tail, he didn’t know what to do when he caught it. He was happy for a moment. It validated his pursuit, but then it floated away. So, he got back to stressfully chasing. He was exhausted but couldn’t tell anyone because he was the leader at work and the provider to his family. He knew there was a better way, but he couldn't see it. Then, on Monday, July 11, 2001, while at a corporate meeting in New Mexico, Michael went out for an early morning bike ride that changed his life permanently. An SUV crossed the center line in the road and hit him head-on, going close to 40 miles per hour (plus Michael's speed). As he laid waiting for the medical trauma helicopter, he told himself that life would be different if he lived. His recovery was the catalyst to the seminal shift that changed his perspective, mindset, and actions. It put him on a path to create better tomorrows at work and in life, and sparked his executive career progression, which was instrumental to finding happiness and passion for business leadership development and creating his business, Peloton Coaching and Consulting. It also lead to his amazing book, My Last Bad Day Shift: How to Prevent Bad Moments from Turning into Bad Days. Michael shares the story of his accident, and the shift that came as a result. His experience is the inspiration for many to shift their situation, so listen to this episode and find how you, too, can shift your life from whatever Last Bad Day you may have. Key Points from the Episode with Michael O'Brien: Michael is a husband and father of two girls, which is how he frames himself first and foremost Secondly, he is a leadership coach, focused on sales and marketing leaders to help them change how they work as a portal to how we behave as a society. He described it as helping people be wealthy from the inside out We got into the idea that we are a complete person, and can’t show up in one part of our life differently from how we do in another. If that’s what’s happening, we are acting in at least one part of our life. We are spending all our energy in one area, and left with nothing for another. Michael talked about the idea so many of us live with around having just meh or vanilla days where “it is what it is.” To him, that’s not acceptance so much as settling and coasting. He uses the brilliant cycling analogy around coasting - if you coast for too long, sooner or later, you’re going to stop. Michael shared the story of his biking accident on July 11th, 2001 while in New Mexico at a work offsite meeting. He was hit head-on by a white, Ford Explorer that had drifted into his lane with a distracted driver behind the wheel. He suffered tremendous and life-threatening injuries, and had to be medi-vaced to the nearest Level 1 Trauma center. When this happened, his wife and two daughters (then 3 and 7-months old) were across the country at home in New Jersey. His injuries were extensive, with it unclear whether he would lose his leg once his life was stabilized. After several operations, and months of grueling recovery work, Michael regained the ability to walk, and eventually to ride a bike again. Pinning a number on at a biking event today is the sweetest symbol to him of what he came through. This event and the process that ensued created the basis for his book, Shift, which brings the reader up to and through this moment where his life shifted. He had been white-knuckling his life before, just working to get through. In losing almost everything forced Michael to step back and find a new way to define himself as he faced the idea of depending on others for the rest of his days, losing control of so much of his life, and more. He realized the need to let go, trust in others, and trust in himself. That included a journey of forgiveness. That included people who he thought would come to see him, but never did. He found himself focusing on those people, and as a result, he lost sight of those who were there. Bitterness and pain around who did not come out to support him consumed Michael. For them, he realized how difficult it was for those people to show up. In situations like that, we often don’t even know what to say. We get scared and overwhelmed, and they deal with and experience the situation through their lens. It helped him feel compassion and understanding for them rather than anger that consumed him. He also found forgiveness for the driver of that car. It wasn’t about the driver, but rather about letting go of the energy toward the driver that was getting in the way of Michael’s recovery and his ability to appreciate what he did have rather than what he didn’t have. His shift came in a specific moment during a physical therapy session. Michael wondered why some people were making progress and others weren’t. He wasn’t happy with the progress he was making, so he was curious. Michael realized how his mind was standing in the way of his progress. He needed to find alignment between his outward thoughts, words and actions and those within him, which were less positive. Michael started a morning ritual of calm, breathing and reflection that framed his days in rehab, which he’s also used to frame his days since then. His goal is to show up with intention, purpose and drive, respecting the day that he has since he nearly lost all of it. I had to call out this great line from his “20 Ways of Being” at the end of Shift. He says that you can never let someone out-hustle you on what really matters. It sparked thoughts about how hard it is to say, “No," to things, but if those things aren’t what truly matters, then you leave the door open to be out-hustled on those things. He reminds us that every No is a Yes. When you say, “No,” to one thing, it allows you to say, “Yes,” to something else, which matters more. Looking at it that way helps with feeling ok saying, “No.” We also talked about the word Peloton, which Michael uses as the name of his coaching and consulting business. It is the name for a group of cyclists, who must work together as a group to protect each other, share the burden of breaking the wind to ease the effort for the group and stay synchronized so no one throws the group off or creates a disruption that can lead to the group crashing. He uses the metaphor a lot in the idea of finding your peloton, and being mindful of who you bring into it to ride with you.

On July 11th 2001 Michael OBrien was hit head-on by a speeding S.U.V. during a bike ride. He calls it his Last Bad Day and it's a grateful one because it shifted his perspective in almost everyone aspect of his life. His recovery helped him climb to the corporate executive suite on his own terms and sparked his passion in helping other leaders shift their perspectives on leadership through executive coaching, speaking, and his memoir, Shift:Creating Better Tomorrows. To celebrate his 18th anniversary of my Last Bad Day this July, I'm setting out to help 1,000,000 people have their Last Bad Day as well.  Michael's Website: https://www.michaelobrienshift.com/ Michael's Book (Use coupon code "shift" for 25% off the shipping cost!): https://www.mylastbadday.com/get-your-copy Michael's Wealth Language Quiz: https://quiz.leadquizzes.com/q/JzB2KI

Where Micheal’s desire for more and addiction to achievement actually began and how we rationalize our ongoing chase for happiness rather than focusing on the process. Michael’s mindset and formula for preventing bad moments from turning into bad days. How you can start making a shift towards a life of Be, Do, Have. The secret to stop chasing happiness and become the wealthiest person you know. How Michael got stuck on life's hamster wheel, working as a marketing director and playing superhero dad at home. Why Michael believes the truck that hit him was literally and figuratively sent to him to stop chasing happiness. How Michael used sports in his youth to validate that he was enough. Michael's final bad day, and why he decided to change the way he looks at his life. How we can be more intentional throughout our days, and practice “showing up” in the way that we want. The benefits of a slow morning and taking time to unwind before you even start your day. Why our biggest evil is not really stress, but lack of recovery.

Michael O’Brien is a Sales and Marketing Executive Coach, Resilience Builder, Motivational Speaker, and the bestselling author of Shift: Creating Better Tomorrows: Winning at Work and in Life. Marc and Michael share their common experience of near-fatal bike accidents and Michael talks about his life and career since his accident.   Key Takeaways: [1:24] Marc welcomes you to Episode 102 of the Repurpose Your Career podcast.

To improve the show, Marc would like to know more about you — how you listen to the show; if you read the show notes; what kinds of episodes are your favorite; and so forth. [2:22] Marc asks if you would kindly go to CareerPivot.com/podcast-survey (where you will be redirected to SurveyMonkey) to take the survey. Marc will publish the results in a couple of months. Marc thanks you in advance for doing this for the podcast. [2:48] Next week, Marc will likely have a Q&A episode but he may decide to do something different. Listen in to hear! [2:58] This week, Marc interviews Michael O’Brien, who, like Marc, suffered from a near-fatal bicycle accident. Hear how this changed his life. Michael is the author of Shift: Creating Better Tomorrows: Winning at Work and in Life. [3:21] Marc and Michael have discussed how similar their accidents were, and how the paths they have taken are very parallel. [3:33] Marc welcomes Michael to the Repurpose Your Career podcast. Marc and Michael met two or three years ago. It has been 6,298 days since Michael’s last bad day. [4:32] Michael tells how the first of his life involved school, family, and the corporate ladder. He felt sales was his calling, since his paper route. He started selling copiers on commission but wanted to be in pharmaceutical sales. When he finally got into pharmaceutical sales, it was a 22-year long career. [6:37] Eventually Michael came to his first downsizing, which was unexpected. It taught him to diversify his resume. At his next job, he had the opportunity to get into sales management but he went into pharmaceutical marketing management, instead, in New Jersey, where he and his family have stayed. [7:33] Now, Michael helps leaders avoid getting hit by their SUV. He does that as an author and through speaking, but mainly as an executive coach. Michael loves helping leaders and shaping corporate culture. He has been doing so full-time since 2014. [8:28] Michael tries to help people put their last bad day behind them and create better tomorrows. He tries to help people live a life that is purposeful, so they can be ‘the wealthiest person they know.’” Michael means by that, the wealth that comes from within, not just the wealth of ‘money and stuff,’ but happiness, joy, and fulfillment. [9:02] Michael has a story about his own last bad day. He had brought his bike to a sales and marketing summit in New Mexico. Michael describes the experience of cycling and being hit head-on by a white SUV. The EMTs were scared for his survival. [12:17] All he could do was look up at the sky and will himself not to fall asleep — to ‘stay in control.’ He remembers making a commitment that his life would change if he lived. He remembers every minute of the 19-minute helicopter flight to the hospital. [13:59] Michael’s commitment was to stop chasing happiness. He relates this to something he had read from Zig Ziglar, who had talked about the ‘do, have, be’ way of living that many follow — work hard, buy things, and that will finally lead to happiness. Michael used to tell himself he would be happy when he got to the next thing. [15:14] At each life milestone, Michael was happy for a moment and then found it was fleeting and he went back to chasing happiness. He knew it wasn’t a healthy way of living. He didn’t know the path forward but he knew it was a different path. [16:10] In that moment of clarity on the helicopter, he knew he just wanted to live. Bound and braced, he could only move his eyes. He kept them on his flight nurse. He still has a picture of that flight crew. He sees it every morning with gratitude.[16:41] Michael tells of his surgeries and how many units of blood product he needed. Many of his major bones were broken. His left femur had shattered and lacerated his femoral artery. Only his youth and good shape had kept him alive to get to the hospital. [18:00] Michael spent 72 hours in the ICU, ‘jacked up on a whole bunch of meds.’ He doesn’t remember any of it, but he ‘was babbling like a fool.’ At one point he spent 45 minutes interviewing his wife for a sales rep position on his team and didn’t hire her. He said he had to call her back because he had other candidates to interview. [18:48] Marc’s near-fatal bike accident was a year to the day later than Michael’s, on July 11, 2002. Marc has his own morphine-related trauma center story. He tried to go home and started pulling off his restraints. He had to insist on no more drugs. [19:44] Michael, still loaded on drugs, tried to convince his wife they should buy Amazon stock. It was worth $15.00. She ignored that, and he forgives her since she forgave him for not hiring her. [20:09] When Michael came out of the ICU, a few days later, the doctor talked to him about the accident and the extent of his injuries. The SUV driver had a revoked license and should not have been driving. Michael learned he would have a lifetime of limitations, dependencies, and future surgeries including total knee replacements soon. [20:36] Michael’s quality of life was going to suffer. At that moment, he recalled his commitment that if he lived, his life would be different. It got different, but not in the way that he wanted. Michael became angry, frustrated, bitter, and even revengeful. [20:54] Michael focused at first on the unfairness of the events and facts he had to face. He played up the victim story pretty well and everyone validated it. He was a mess. His wife was left taking care of him in the hospital and their two young daughters. [21:52] When Michael flew home to New Jersey he had another aha moment. He realized he was dissatisfied with the toxic stew he was lying in. During his daily physical therapy one day, he saw some patients were progressing and some were stuck and moping. He knew he wasn’t showing up with the right attitude and mindset to get better. [23:23] At that moment, Michael made another commitment that he was going to show up differently, going forward so he could be the best husband and father and person that he could be. [23:34] He let go of comparing himself to others and showed up with a different lens — one of abundance instead of scarcity. He didn’t use that vocabulary, but he had that attitude. He decided to find some level of gratitude in his situation. Viktor Frankl said it’s not the events in our life that define us, but it’s our response to them (paraphrased). [24:51] Michael determined to be known by his response to the accident, and not be known by what happened. Michael got busy that day trying to make his recovery something he was known for. [25:07] Marc says so many of us get defined by what happens to us. We also like to compare ourselves to other people and those comparisons just aren’t fair to ourselves. Marc is a fan of ProBlogger’s Darren Rowse, who says to new bloggers, don’t compare yourself to someone who’s been doing this for 10 years. You’re brand new. [26:05] The next day, Michael had a real test. He had an orthopedic appointment to see if he was ready to start learning to walk. The doctor told him he needed more time in the wheelchair; more time in the hospital. His new attitude didn’t give him new strength, but it gave him determination not to go back to his victim way of thinking. [27:27] Eventually, day by day, or pedal stroke by pedal stroke, Michael kept working on his self-narrative, losing the victim story, and becoming resilient. Day by day, Michael was getting better. He decided he was never going to have another bad day. With his wife and his daughters in his life, there was no way he could have another bad day. [28:21] Michael focused in on the things he could still do and the things he still had. He strung a few days of improvement together and then a few weeks and eventually, he got out of that wheelchair and out of the hospital. He still had about 10 surgeries ahead of him, setbacks, and hospital stays before he could get back on the bike as he wished. [29:20] Someone told Michael, “Hey, listen! Don’t compare your beginning to someone else’s middle.” Michael was at the beginning of a journey to get better and healthier. From the time of the accident to the start of his rehabilitation took three to four months. [30:12] Michael’s wife and daughters had been coming to visit him at the hospital twice a day, 45 minutes each way. He was exhausted after a 15-minute visit, but he was anxious to get back home. He wanted life to be normal again. Nothing about being in the hospital was normal. [31:25] Michael credits his employer with being really kind and very patient, to a degree that is rare. They worked out a system where Michael could go back to work part-time at first, through the rest of the year, working half a day and doing rehabilitation half a day. In January 2002, they gave him a pivot to run operations and get out of traveling. [33:53] Michael was reluctant to give up his head of marketing position but he took the job and it turned out to be the best shift in his corporate career. He is so grateful they gave him the pivot opportunity. [35:10] That pivot eventually landed Michael in executive leadership. All the time he was in recovery, he knew he was eventually going to go into executive coaching. This concept first came from David, a recent hire of Michael’s before the accident. David was the first executive coach Michael had met — before he even knew what that meant. [36:07] When Michael got into executive leadership, he stayed in that role for six years, from 2008 to 2014. He had a team of close to 1,000 reps, with a P&L of around $4 billion. That was beyond any expectations he had ever had. In 2014 he got the last ‘puzzle piece.’ There was another realignment in the company [36:38] The president of the company, Michael’s friend of 18 years, got pushed out and a new president came in. Michael knew right away they were not a good match. This was the puzzle piece that helped Michael make his last pivot. Michael told his boss in May, he would stay for the summer and September 1, he would start his own business. [37:30] People questioned why he was making the decision. Michael told them he’d been working on the decision for 13 years and this corporate change made it clear that it was time for him to move forward. [38:00] Marc notes how this pattern is very similar to the career paths of a lot of people he has interviewed. They start in a role that is not their favorite, an event tells them they need to do something different, they do nothing, then, a second event gives them the kick to go do what they want to do. [38:27] Marc invites you to listen to Episode 7 with Mike O’Krent, or Episode 3 with Dr. Joel Dobbs for similar path career pivoters. We know what we’re supposed to do but usually, it takes some outside interference to get us to do what we want to do. [38:49] If someone’s life has been touched, and they are inspired by Michael’s book or work, or a keynote, to lead a purposeful life, that’s the type of work Michael really loves to do. [41:39] Marc shares his own bicycle accident details with Michael. Marc’s Toyota Corolla experience didn’t cause nearly as much damage as Michael’s Ford SUV experience. Michael regrets that he didn’t want to hear how lucky he was in the accident situation, with EMTs coming immediately. He knows it now. [44:35] All the proceeds from Michael’s book Shift: Creating Better Tomorrows go to the charity World Bicycle Relief, giving mobility to girls in poor countries. Bicycles change the world for someone. You can reach out to Michael at MichaelOBrienShift.com. [45:49] Marc hopes you enjoyed this episode. He got choked up when editing this episode. Marc hopes you will be inspired by Michael’s story. [47:06] Marc is soliciting members for the next cohort of the CareerPivot.com Online Community. For information, please go to CareerPivot.com/Community. [47:48] Check back next week when Marc will likely be doing a Q&A session with listener’s questions.

What do you do when life knocks you down? Michael O'Brien was a successful sales professional and Marketing Director, responsible for a $4 billion business unit. Happily married with a young family, life seemed to be perfect, yet there was something missing for Michael. A life-threatening cycling accident would reveal the answer and life would never be the same. After surviving his last bad day, Michael knew things would be different. His recovery was the catalyst to the seminal shift that changed his perspective, mindset, and actions. It put him on a path to create better tomorrows at work and in life. Today, Michael is an Executive Coach and Founder of Peloton Coaching. He is an active advocate for women in leadership and all the proceeds from his book, Shift: Creating Better Tomorrows are donated to World Bicycle Relief – a non-profit organization that provides bicycles to women in developing countries so they can access the education and opportunities needed to elevate their economic situation. During our conversation with Michael, he shares his cycling accident, the struggle he faced during recovery and what the experience taught him about life, work, priorities, and creating better tomorrows. We explore the true source of happiness and success, the daily habit that helped lift Michael up out of the depths of despair, and the mindset necessary to overcome life's greatest challenges. We finish our conversation discussing the power of effective conversations in the workplace, finding your tribe, Michael's view on the #metoo movement, and why men need to sponsor and support women in taking on leadership roles. An inspiring and insightful dialogue packed full of wisdom and encouragement, this is a must listen for anyone looking to create better tomorrows today. Key Takeaways Stop pursuing happiness in external success – create a life where you have complete success and are as happy on the inside as you are on the outside. If you try to chase happiness, all you get is despair. If you try to chase wisdom, you get joy. You don't have to be defined by the challenges life sends your way, but you will be defined by how you respond to them. Conversation is the start of everything. Healthy relationships have healthy conversations. We first have to address the conversation we're having with ourselves, and then we can look at having better conversations with others. Like-mindedness and diversity in a tribe is a powerful combination. Men and women in the workplace need to have the conversation. How do we work together? What do you need from me, and here's what I need from you. Be curious. Listen to connect and understand. Men, instead of pushing women down, it's time to get better at what you do. You have to have game to succeed in today's marketplace. The fastest way to get faster on a bike is to ride with stronger people. Similarly in the workplace, the stronger the lead team, the more successful the company will be. So have an attitude of abundance – elevate the best people regardless of gender.
