Given the vast amounts of fear & uncertainty surrounding the current job market I thought I’d give you a dose of inspiration, motivation, and dare I say, even a little gratitude to remind us all of the resilience and adaptability of the human race. On the heels of my recent conversation with Brad Stulberg who wrote the book Master of Change which provides practical ways to adapt and develop resiliency in the face of change, as well as my recent conversation with disability advocate Taylor Lewis, this upcoming series is sure to give you a new appreciation for the growth that arises from adversity.

For the next five weeks I’ll be releasing some of my favorite interviews with everyday people overcoming insurmountable obstacles to and achieve extraordinary things. In this top 5 series, you will hear from a wide range of guests who have faced extreme adversity and made it through to the other side to tell the tale.

Without further adieu, here is the final part of this five interview series with Jimmy Choi, a motivational speaker, an advocate for Parkinson’s research, an ultra-endurance athlete, a Parkinson’s patient, and an American Ninja Warrior. After getting diagnosed with early onset Parkinson’t at age 27 and falling into a deep depression, Jimmy turned his life aorund with one simple goal: Just do better than yesterday.
