A Podcast with Dennis McCormick who is a marine and was involved in a severe accident from which he was thought to die. This Podcast is about the accident and especially his recovery process afterwards.  

My philosophy professor in Hong Kong, Dr. Jack Chun, gave me such a new perspective on my life.

The Story Behind The Ambitious Sloth

Why should you listen to my podcast if you don’t even know me? Even if you do it’s not quite clear.

So the reason why I started was not very exciting, I just liked to talk to people I find interesting. However, that quickly grew and developed into the theme of people who overcame some incredible adversity or limiting believes. Something I struggled with back in the old school days as well. I was genuinely convinced of not being smart enough to get through this.

Luckily, very slowly a change started right after I graduated. Now, about 4 years later I seem to be in a good direction of dealing with it. But if that works with this belief, I’m sure it works with much more! That’s why I seek the experience from others who have done much more than I did to get inspired by what is possible.

Since that worked for me incredibly good I’d like to share those experiences and stories with others they get a new perspective and might start a change as well.

And, let’s be honest we all have some thoughts telling us we can’t do something or telling us we are not good at something.

The former U.S. marine Dennis McCormick has an incredible story to share. Starting from his horrible accident on July 8th 2015 in which he almost died, however, recovered even stronger than before. Despite doctors telling him, he will not be able to walk again he just tried over and over again and did not let others tell him what he can or cannot do until he tried himself! Now, he is still having intense pain every day but with his unbelievable mindset he manages to have a job as a marketing director and enjoys his life like he hasn’t before. Also due to the help of Julia and Austin Piedmont.

This is a new episode of the Ambitious Sloth Podcast! This episode is a bit different and not everybody might be super interested in Buddhism but as you’ll hear later on, my guest Anthony has actually super interesting perspectives taken from Buddhism and put into the so called “normal” life and even though he is a Buddhism teacher he super down to earth and practical. So I really enjoyed the months I stayed in Hong Kong with the constant visits in the buddhism center and the people I met there. But now let’s just get into the episode you can hopefully learn about the concepts of the mind in Buddhism and the impermanence of things and how it might actually help you in your daily life.
