Could you imagine having 2 heart surgeries while just in your 20’s? Today you will be dazzled hearing the story of Jeremy Woodward from “Heart Failure to Victory.” You often hear me talk about “Living a Life Worth Telling a Story About,” well, today you will draw strength, energy, inspiration, and life while listening to Jeremy’s story.

 

Jeremy is the author of the new book “Heart Failure to Victory,” an inspiring story of persevering through severe congestive heart failure and two major open-heart surgeries while just in his 20’s, the second with less than 1% chance of survival. When reading his book, I laughed, smiled, and cried reading his amazing story and mission to become an IMPACT maker.

 

Today, Jeremy talks about:

- Having two major heart surgeries at the age of 22 and 29.

- The mindset of a heart failure survivor.

- The promise he made to himself the night before his second surgery.

- His darkest days and how martial arts helped him through them.

- His greatest victory thus far in his life.

- The impact Jeremy is creating in his community.

 

Please be sure to share this incredible story and spread Jeremy’s words of inspiration and strength. Enjoy today’s Show, please snap a picture of the cover, and share it on your social media. Please be sure to tag Jeremy and me.
