\\u201cI knew my life was in the balance\\u2026 I promised myself if I lived, life would be different and I would stop chasing happiness.\\u201d

We will all likely face a life-altering moment when it is least expected. Michael O\\u2019Brien was cycling when his happened, and what followed became the cornerstone of his life\\u2019s mission today. Michael was nearly killed over 17 years ago, and what he has done since then to turn things around, and become the positive influence he is now is the basis for my episode today. That and a six pack of PBRs!

\\u201cThe message I preach is resilience and a lot of gratitude. Gratitude for what we still have and can do, and resilience is just get back up again.\\u201d

Resilience. Tenacity. Optimism in the face of being in a really bad place. Michael has been there, and emerged a much stronger man than he was pre-crash. This episode will resonate with you, as you will hear us talk about recovery, and how to change how we all look at life, and family, friends and work.

\\u201cWe all have the voices in our head that hold us back\\u2026 when that happens, what I do is grab a PBR\\u2026 Pause. Breathe. Reflect on the story we tell ourselves. Then try to reverse engineer the result that we want.\\u201d

OK, we didn\\u2019t actually drink a six pack of Pabst Blue Ribbons (insert product placement residual here). What Michael did instead was to teach us all how to take a break from our stressful and hectic lives, and do a PBR, (Pause, Breathe, Reflect) which you will learn how to do. We talk about leadership, empathy, business success, along with a gratuitous book promo! Make sure to hear about this and much more! Happy Listening!

\\u201cIf folks could lead with a bit more empathy, we would solve a lot more problems in the corporate world.\\u201d

\\u201cGreat cultures, whether at work or personal, start with great relationships... a great relationship is born out of great conversation.\\u201d
