The Aesthetics of Leadership

Clay Stephens: Perseverance - Body and Mind


Listen Later

Back again for another fantastic conversation. So thankful to have this incredible leader back on the show! Clay was on back in Season 2, Episode 57 and shared his incredible story.

He was born with only one pectoral muscle, lacking the one in the right side of his chest. "It's a fairly major muscle in the chest. Everyone has their battles, it just happens that mine is quite visually obvious, so it’s talked about a little more. I don’t think of it as any more hindering than issues that other people in elite sport face though, whether that be mental or physical. We’re all fighting against something.” 

What a profound statement from one of today’s top athletes. It speaks to the heart of the man on the inside. Clay Mason Stephens, born in Australia, is continuing his journey for an Olympic bid to represent his home country. Clay has been part of the NCAA Fighting Illini gymnastics squad and his now back in Australia training with his country team. 

Join our conversation as we discuss the nature and appreciation of transformations, environments for growth, and the mindset to press on under the greatest resistance.
