Lincoln talks about defying skepticism, pushing through challenges like getting stuck on a tractor without his wheelchair, and overcoming doubt. 

He shares how he stays motivated and his role as an advocate for people with disabilities. 

Plus, we have some fun with 'off-the-wall questions'. 

What a legend!

Lincoln Budge’s journey is nothing short of remarkable.

After a car accident left him paralyzed, he battled alcoholism, personal loss, and a near-death experience.

His ‘rock bottom’ was unlike most would think, but rather than give up, he reinvented himself through farming and founded the Change One Life Project, which helps people make smarter, more thoughtful decisions. 

In this episode, we explore his path of loss and recovery, his skiing adventures, and global travels. 

Today, Lincoln focuses on farming, sustainability, and helping others. 

This episode is packed with inspiration and powerful insights on resilience and change.

Born in 1929, John's life has been a testament to resilience and hard work.
