In this episode of Post-Shift Shot, I share a story about resilience and adversity. It’s a tale of twin boys raised in a harsh environment, with one ending up homeless and the other becoming the head of pediatrics. This story resonates with me because it highlights how our upbringing influences us, but doesn’t have to control our path. Adversity and resilience are powerful forces in life, and how we respond to them shapes our future. Thanks for tuning in, and I’ll see you next week!
