235: Buck That! Wrestling His Fate with Dan Blanchard


Listen Later

We're thrilled to present our brand-new series called "Buck That!"- a series to help you challenge conventional thinking, ignite your passion, and empower you to redefine what's possible.   

Each episode is short and is focused on just ONE story of how someone bucked the norm and had great success as a result.  

To kick off this series, we’ve asked the incredible Dan Blanchard to join us. Not only is Dan a bestselling and award-winning author, but he's also a captivating speaker, educator, and TV host. He has made appearances on over 100 TV and radio shows, as well as some of the world's top ten podcasts.  

In this episode, Dan shares his fascinating journey, starting with his unique accent which developed from overcoming challenges with his deafness during his childhood. He also takes us through his fearless pursuit of wrestling in the Junior Olympic Trials, an experience that changed his life forever.  

Dan’s stories are a powerful reminder that true greatness stems from embracing our uniqueness and fearlessly (and authentically) pursuing our dreams.
