🇬🇧 #15 - The 5 lessons that will transform your life - Olivier Goy living with ALS

from Healthier Humanity · host Healthier Humanity

What would you do if you were told you had 3 to 5 years to live? How can you turn an incurable disease into a force for action? What if vulnerability could become our greatest source of strength?Olivier Goy faced these questions head-on when, in 2020 at the age of 46, he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Charcot’s disease. An accomplished entrepreneur, founder of 1, 2, 3 Investment Managers and then October, a revolutionary business financing platform, Olivier could have chosen silence and retirement. Instead, he made the radical choice of transparency and action. Through the collective Les Invincibles, his book “Invincible” co-written with Anne Fulda, and his documentary “Invincible été,” he has mobilized over €2.5 million for research at the Brain Institute in Paris and given a voice to those who have none.In this moving episode, he breaks down the mechanisms of ALS, a disease that gradually imprisons the body while leaving the mind intact. He shares his philosophy of lucid optimism, explains how AI technologies are transforming patients’ lives, and reveals why he encourages everyone diagnosed to record their voice immediately.Olivier teaches us that vulnerability can become a strength, that every morning we have the choice of our attitude in the face of adversity, and that “it’s not by denying our fragility that we become strong, but by embracing it.” A lesson in humanity that transcends the disease to remind us of the essential: to live fully, no matter how much time we have left.A deeply inspiring conversation for anyone facing a challenge or seeking to give more meaning to their existence. *In this episode, Olivier uses personalized voice synthesis technology to speak.------------------------------------------Healthier Humanity🤔 What if living to 100 in great shape was no longer a utopia?🎙️ Healthier Humanity, Alan’s new podcast, brings together extraordinary experts to rethink our health.💫 Get ready to explore the secrets of a longer, healthier life with our host, Jean-Charles Samuelian-Werve, and our exceptional guests, including health experts, top athletes, and visionary leaders.------------------------------------------ This is a public episode.
