He’s been featured in People Magazine, Men’s Fitness, and on Good Morning America, and he’s the author of The Upside of Down.John shares the moment everything changed: a head-on collision after a swim meet, an 18-day coma, paralysis, and waking up to a life he didn’t recognize.But the bigger story is what came next: rebuilding. John talks about how he went from being completely dependent on others to taking control of his life again through daily choices, training, and a mindset shift.You’d be surprised what you’re capable of when you’re forced to face hard things.Replace pain you can’t control with discomfort you choose on purpose.Build your “board of directors,” people you trust who can help you stay grounded.Remove obstacles and focus on the first step. Momentum comes from action.It’s more important to be intentional than perfect.Website: www.JohnUlsh.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/johnulsh/Finish the Race Apparel: https://ftrapparel.com/collections/stay-in-the-fightStay in the Fight: https://www.stayinthefight.am/If this episode hit home, share it with someone who needs it.
