Turning Adversity into Action – Matt Gallagher's Fight Against MNDIn this powerful episode of the Inspiring Leadership Podcast, we sit down with Matt Gallagher, former Coventry rugby player and founder of the Matt Gallagher Foundation, created following his diagnosis with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in October 2023.Rather than stepping back, Matt has taken bold steps forward—raising over £600,000 through his foundation to support research, increase awareness, and provide hands-on support to the MND community. From charity runs and rugby matches to heartfelt public speaking and community engagement, Matt's story is one of courage, resilience, and purpose.Tune in to hear how Matt is transforming personal adversity into a powerful movement of hope and solidarity.

“One thing that will make you better suited towards being able to deal with that is if you have a resilient mindset to know that whatever you're going through, what is the lesson I'm going to get out of it and how is it going to make me better? Where is the positive growth going to come from here?”Tiran Jackson's story is a masterclass in turning heartbreak into hope and challenge into fuel. If you think a speaking career is about big breaks or spotlight moments, Tiran is living proof that the real work happens in the trenches of adversity. What began as a thriving engineering career was turned upside down by a tragic accident that took his wife's life and left Tiran fighting for his own. In the aftermath, he didn't set out to be a speaker, but the realization that his journey through loss, resilience, and rebuilding could help others, sparked something new.For months, Tiran focused on tiny, consistent steps: showing up for grueling physical therapy, supporting his son through grief, and speaking at small gatherings, but each moment, and every bit of hard-won progress, mattered. His breakthrough wasn't about having the “best” story, but about building the discipline to show up, refine his message, and deeply serve his audience.Today, Tiran speaks to leadership teams, NFL athletes, and faith communities on resilience and using adversity for growth. His business didn't happen overnight—it grew as he learned to share his story with intention, listen to the needs of his audience, and put in the work of outreach and relationship-building. The lesson? Success as a speaker isn't about being the loudest or most dramatic voice—it's about being willing to show up, be real, adapt, and encourage others no matter how tough it gets.You'll learn:Using adversity for growthResilience in challenging situationsThe role of a strong support systemGrowing confidence and recognition of potentialThe importance of process, audience outreach, and message refinementCustomizing talks for various audiencesThe value of building long-term relationshipsKnowing one's valueThe realities of building a businessAnd much, much more!“If you're not good at something, the best thing you can do is have a process for improvement.”Episode ResourcesTiran's Website2 Day Booked and Paid BootcampGet Free Speaker ResourcesBook a Call with The Speaker LabCalculate Your Speaking FeeJoin The Speaker Lab Community on FacebookSubscribe on Apple PodcastsSubscribe on SpotifySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In 2020, a 30-year-old father of two in the Bronx had an idea. While struggling to establish a music career, John Jaequan Cotton, better known as Jae Tips, took inspiration from the streetwear brands he loved and committed fully to a vision for a personal brand focused on apparel and merch.After building an organic following for his designs, Jae stepped outside of his comfort zone and started knocking on the doors of the people who could help scale his vision. That hustle led to a partnership with an obscure running shoe brand, Saucony, and a series of beloved footwear collaborations that captured the imagination of the sneaker community.But despite critical and cultural acclaim, the harsh economics of streetwear and the crowded footwear landscape mean that Jae still cannot take success for granted.And it all started with one idea…Chapters:0:00 - Intro2:15 - Growing Up / Early Influences4:50 - Dealing with Social Anxiety 6:08 - The Influence of Billionaire Boys Club and BAPE8:10 - Lessons Learned Working at Footlocker9:10 - Music Career / Shifting Focus to Merch13:00 - Opportunities During COVID15:00 - Creating Hats, Sneakers, and Shirts17:55 - Keys to Building Community19:30 - First Sneakers with Saucony24:17 - Balancing Supply & Demand / Marketing27:30 - Aftermarket and Resellers29:00 - Five Year Plan / Managing Growth of the Brand32:40 - Biggest Challenges as an Entrepreneur38:20 - Aspirations / What's Success?40:30 - Leaving ComplexCon Sneaker of the Year Panel43:05 - Turning Adversity into Art
