Life’s health scares can leave you feeling emotional lows, regular setbacks, and even depression. And when you find yourself bedridden or hospitalized, the rest of your day can feel like a miracle if you can even function for 2 or 4 hours. Most people never imagine what it is to not being able to climb a flight of stairs. But if you could build off of bad news and design your legacy during this time, would you lean into your desire and will within? Imagine how much prouder of yourself you would feel, if you took personal agency of what it is you can influence and control.

In this week’s episode, hostess Angelina Carleton speaks with Andrew D Thompson, a former pro squash (like tennis!) player who competed globally and then, found himself blindsided with a health condition. Andrew shares how he leaned into his principle of “you have to take action each day” to rebuild his life to his ‘high performing’ best that he was used to. In this conversation, you’ll learn how ‘losing is learning’, ‘you are the same person after you fail, only wiser’, and facing your weaknesses helps you design your legacy for that next level. Listen in to discover how being ill for a season can create an even better outcome … as you can overcome failure for the knowledge to impact others!
