Jeremy Woodward on Resilience and Overcoming Obstacles


Listen Later

If life or death were on the line- what would you do differently?

Today's guest, Jeremy Woodward, is a fitness trainer with heart. Jeremy is the owner and founder of Jeremy's BOOTCAMP. His motto is "Live Life to the Fittest," and he lives up to that every day and inspires others to do the same.

Some might say Jeremy is a miracle, but no one can deny that he is an inspiration. After barely surviving 2 heart failures and corresponding open-heart surgeries, Jeremy has continued to accomplish amazing athletic feats while leaving a trail of inspiration along the way.

Just 3 years after his last open heart surgery, Jeremy not only finished Ironman Lake Placid but was one of the top fundraisers, raising $200,000 for the NH Nature Conservancy. In this episode, Jeremy reveals his incredible story of overcoming heart failure multiple times, the corresponding open-heart surgeries, and later becoming a superstar athlete. Jeremy has learned to never take anything for granted; he always treasures each moment and lives his life one day at a time. Life is overcomplicated; when, in reality, it should be straightforward. To Jeremy, living every day, being a good person, leading by example, and inspiring others is what he considers to be mission critical.
