If there was ever a story to inspire your personal resilience, this one has to be it with Dr Joel Bryant, Inspirational Speaker and Author of over 55 books. From USA. You need to listen BECAUSE , something in me shifted. It's powerful and I felt all these emotions I wasn't expecting.
In this heartfelt episode Joel shares a very personal story with us which I KNOW will boost you in ways you never knew!
Joel characterizes himself as having gone from homeless to greatness after quitting his corporate job to follow his dreams of becoming a writer --one week after 9/11
En route, he also had his car repossessed and dreams crushed (but not his optimism).
A few years later, his wife had a stroke while at the movies and died suddenly. He survived because he refused to quit.
He also published a book, What Matters Most, a year later on the anniversary of her death, because she lived this understanding.
In the last 15 years he has written 55 books, self-published 27, ghost written two and published four others for another writer, while obtaining 3 degrees, starting at 40 and finishing at 51, including a doctorate in Educational Leadership from UNC-Charlotte, where he spent 5 years lecturing in the philosophy department and changing students lives (according to them).
All of this from someone who barely graduated high school and was nicknamed "Nobody" by his peers.
He also just completed a provocative book, one that will change the cultural conversation concerning human nature and the human condition. It's called, The New Being: Preparing for the Emergence of a New Humanity. It took 30 years to live and 3 years to write
Thank you Joel for reaching out and sharing your story and for gifting me this book. You are my inspiration , and in your words.
Forward always, greatness only!
