36: Overcoming Adversity with Daniel Doria

from Westfield 2nd Ward Family Hosted by Rick Bennett

Join us for an inspiring episode of the Westfield Second Ward Family Podcast as we sit down with Daniel Doria. From his childhood playing competitive baseball in Redlands, California, to a professional career in tech sales, Daniel’s journey is defined by resilience and a refusal to give up. In this episode, Daniel opens up about the physical and mental hurdles that tested his faith. He shares the harrowing experience of having his initial mission to Mexico City cut short by a series of major surgeries—including shoulder, knee, and double hip reconstructions—and the four-year wait before he was finally able to return to the mission field in Florida at age 23. Daniel also discusses his academic journey at BYU, where he was diagnosed with seven learning disabilities, and how he chose to view that data as a tool for growth rather than a crutch, eventually graduating debt-free and earning an MBA from the University of Illinois. Tune in to hear Daniel’s powerful message on why we must "push forward" no matter our limitations or environment.
