#34 - A Dose of Positivity with Daniel Zigler

from The Dose · host Mike Diamond

On this episode of A Dose Of Positivity, I sat down with my dear friend Daniel Zigler. Dan is an identical twin, who was born and raised in Canebrake, California (population 50). Dan worked as a ranch hand at 12 years old. After graduating high school he got an Associates Degree from Bakersfield College. In 2006 Dan suffered a broken neck which nearly ended his life. Dan decided not to get surgery and wore a Halo for six months hoping his neck would heal naturally. Unfortunately the Halo didn’t set Dan’s neck correctly so he had to get fusion surgery to repair his neck. After the surgery the doctors didn’t give Dan much of a chance to live a normal life ever again. Doctors actually told Dan he wouldn’t be able to lift 20 pounds. Two years after his surgery Dan was able to lift over 120 pounds over his head. Dan went on to win multiple competitions as a natural athlete. Winning the Natural Olympia in the Men’s Physique category twice. This episode is packed full of inspiration and motivation.
