What would your life look like if you stopped seeing limitations as roadblocks and started seeing them as opportunities?

In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Kyle Maynard, world record-holding athlete, entrepreneur, speaker, best-selling author, and featured speaker at the 2025 Game Changers Summit, who was born without arms or legs yet has achieved what most would consider impossible. From climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to becoming a champion wrestler and mixed martial artist, Kyle shares the mindset that has allowed him to turn obstacles into fuel. This conversation is a masterclass in perseverance, perspective, and possibility.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • Why your limitations don’t define you, your mindset does
  • How to build resilience through struggle and discipline
  • What it takes to face fear, failure, and discomfort head-on
  • If you have ever doubted your potential, this episode will remind you that your only real limitation is belief.
