What happens when life changes in an instant—and everything you've built is suddenly put to the test? In this episode, Chris sits down with Brussels-based entrepreneur and restaurateur Vincent van den Broeck, whose life took a dramatic turn after a near-fatal accident left him facing extraordinary odds. Vincent shares his remarkable journey through survival and recovery, the resilience and conviction he had built long before the accident, and the vital role his wife and support system played along the way. We explore why resilience can be trained, why our actions matter more than obsessing over outcomes, and how our hardest experiences can reveal what truly matters.

Vincent is also the author of the upcoming book Everything Feels Impossible Until It's Done: How the Life You Build Becomes the One That Saves You, currently available for pre-order on Amazon. Connect with Vincent on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube at @vincentinthekitchen, where he welcomes listeners to reach out and connect.

Have you ever felt like something from your past disqualified you from what could still be ahead? In this episode, Chris explores how regret and guilt can quietly shape what we believe we deserve, what we're capable of, and which paths we allow ourselves to pursue. Through personal reflections on failure, relationships, and difficult choices, we unpack the difference between learning from our past and allowing it to define us. Our mistakes can teach us, humble us, and change us—but they don't have to become a life sentence. Sometimes moving forward begins when we take responsibility for where we've been, carry the lesson with us, and give ourselves permission to get back up and keep going.
