Yes, I’m back. It’s been a couple of weeks since I released a new episode, and today’s show is a little different—but maybe one of the most important I’ve ever done.

Why? Because over the last five weeks, I’ve been on a journey—a journey of healing, of physical and mental challenge, of patience, and of rediscovery. And I want to share some of the incredible lessons I’ve learned along the way.

You may or may not know, I had a pretty major setback with my back. A disc extrusion at L3-L4 compressed a nerve and literally made it so I couldn’t stand, walk, or sleep without pain. I went from top-tier Ironman athlete—training 15 to 20 hours a week—to someone who couldn’t even put on socks without pain shooting down my leg.

And I want to be honest—it was humbling. It shook me.

But in that experience, I found a deeper level of discipline, resilience, and focus than I’ve ever tapped into before. And that’s what I want to talk about today. Because the lessons I’ve learned in healing my body translate perfectly to building a business, growing a team, and leading in life.
