What would you do if everything you built your identity around—your body, your career, your future—was taken from you overnight?

In this episode, you’ll hear a true story of survival, reinvention, and what it really means to play from the heart when life gives you no other option.

If you’ve ever felt stuck after a life-altering setback, questioned your purpose, or wondered how to keep moving forward when the path disappears, this conversation speaks directly to you. This isn’t about motivation—it’s about resilience, identity, and learning how to live fully when the rules of your life suddenly change.

This equally heartwarming as it is inspirational story follows the extraordinary journey of Scott Martin, a lifelong soccer coach whose life changed forever after a sudden illness left him in a coma and resulted in the amputation of both hands and parts of his feet.

Scott shares how he went from elite athlete and nationally ranked coach to learning how to sit up in bed again—and eventually back to coaching, leading, and transforming lives. You’ll hear how music, creativity, and trust became the foundation of his coaching philosophy, why “turning off your brain and playing from your heart” became a life mantra, and how a group of overlooked kids helped write one of the most powerful comeback stories you’ll ever hear.

This is a raw, honest conversation about identity loss, discrimination, rebuilding confidence, fatherhood through adoption, and what it looks like to lead others when you’ve had to relearn how to live yourself.

Today's amazing guest is none other than the one and only Scott Martin! Scott is a former elite soccer player and nationally recognized coach whose life was forever changed by a near-fatal illness. After surviving a month-long coma and multiple amputations, Scott rebuilt his life, returned to coaching, adopted five children, and has most recently written Play from the Heart, a powerful memoir about resilience, creativity, and leading with humanity. His story bridges sports, disability advocacy, and personal growth, offering hard-earned wisdom for anyone navigating life after loss.

Press play and give yourself an hour with a story that will permanently change how you view adversity, resilience, and what’s still possible in your life.

Let me guess, you've been doing all the right things, making all the right choices, but can't help but feel like nothing is changing? If this is you, then stay tuned!

Most people quit on their goals for one reason: they aren't seeing results, or another way to say it, they can only assume that silence means failure. But what if the lack of immediate results isn’t proof you’re losing… but proof you’re building something that takes time?

1. You’ll finally understand why your progress feels invisible even when you’re making good choices and staying disciplined.
2. You’ll stop mistaking delayed results as “proof it’s not working,” so you can keep going without losing confidence.
3. You’ll learn three strategies to stay consistent long enough to collect the outcome your future self is counting on.

In this episode, Kevin breaks down one of the most frustrating parts of personal growth: the delayed feedback loop.

You can be eating healthy, working out, saving money, praying, and showing up every day… and still feel like life isn’t rewarding you yet. That delay can mess with your motivation and make you question everything.

But here’s the truth: your actions are still powerful, even when the echo hasn’t come back yet.

Using a simple but powerful “echo” analogy, Kevin explains why negative choices often show up fast, while positive choices take longer to return results. Then he gives you three practical strategies to help you stay on track, stay disciplined, and keep moving forward even when you aren’t seeing progress yet.

If you’ve been feeling frustrated, stuck, or disappointed with yourself because you can’t seem to “stay motivated,” this episode is for you.

Here’s the truth most people never hear: your lack of motivation isn’t the real problem.

The problem is a major misconception in personal development—one that causes people to start in the wrong place and quietly blame themselves when things don’t work.

In this episode, Kevin reveals why motivation so often fails before it ever has a chance to help—and what actually needs to come first.

This conversation isn’t about grinding harder, forcing discipline, or shaming yourself into action. It’s about clarity. It’s about understanding the correct order of inspiration and motivation—and why getting that order wrong sets you up for burnout, inconsistency, and quitting before momentum ever builds.

1. Why waiting to “feel motivated” keeps so many people stuck
2. The critical difference between inspiration and motivation
3. Why motivation isn’t meant to start the journey—only sustain it
4. How inspiration creates the spark that makes motivation possible
5. Why nothing is “wrong” with you if motivation hasn’t been showing up

Kevin breaks this down using simple, relatable examples and a powerful framework that helps everything finally click—especially if you’ve struggled with New Year’s resolutions, goals, or staying consistent in the past.

If you’re ready to stop blaming yourself and start moving forward with clarity, this episode will change how you think about motivation forever.
