Curating Career Life Stories: How Did I Get Here? Ep. 49 with Danny Chacon

Join me for the career story reflections of Danny Chacon, master trainer in the field of martial arts & professional athlete. As a youngster he wants to be a nurse or doctor, but without the financial means to do so, he shifts his focus to business. Then that route is interrupted when he discovers martial arts. Something that starts as an invitation from a friend to join him in his karate class, turns into a lifelong journey of training, discipline and then competing on world stages. Two themes that stand out in his life: “I’m all in or all out” and “big risk, big reward”. Some words of wisdom from Danny – “The rougher the water, the more glorious the travel. We’re all in this together, and we’re all doing our best. We have to have patience with ourselves and one another.”
