Welcome to the latest episode of The Isaac Velez Show, where today's discourse delves into the topics of how we can take responsibility with grace and pride with guest speaker Thomas Armstrong. This conversation is about overcoming personal struggles to continue improving ourselves, and never taking no for an answer. We go in-depth with how the world has changed, but regardless of what happens, your power lies in the internal, not the external.

Thomas Armstrong was a former pro rugby player forced to retire after a severe injury and was told his future in sports was done. Through various practices and a strong will, Thomas was able to overcome his injury, and now has completed ultra-marathons among other extremely challenging races, and looks to help others with how he did it.
