Episode 50: How Will You Turn Your Adversity to Gold? - Interview with Randy Brown

Everyone goes through adversities. However, not everyone grows through them. In the face of adversity, growth is not an exclusive experience for the strong-willed. It is not an issue of how strong or how weak a person is, but about how willing they are to grow stronger or to outgrow their own weaknesses. When I asked someone going through struggles, I asked him these two questions: “How do you feel?” and “What are you going to do about it?” While the former question helps us assess our current condition, the latter encourages action and points us to our desired destination. I would like to call it “the shift”—the transition from where we are to where we want to be. So how do we make the shift? Let us listen to our guest speaker, Randy Brown, who is an inspirational speaker, author, and transformation coach. He is known as “That Rebound Guy” based on his history with adversity, comebacks, and the art of rebounding. His message, “The Rebound Effect,” unveils a dramatic plunge to the depths of depression, two daughter's deaths, depression, addiction, divorce, prison, and a career lost forever. His goal is to help others realize that their best life comes through the storm. His transparency allows others to learn from his poor decisions which keeps them free of the drastic consequences he witnessed. In his own unique inspirational way, Randy brings hope, second chances, and a road that leads to an amazing life. Let's listen to his powerful and inspiring story.
