Today’s guest on my podcast (The Strenuous Life Podcast) is Brett Piperni who was was a nationally ranked Taekwondo competitor diagnosed with an illness that crippled him. Specialists told him was incurable.

He fought through it, returned to competition, and even managed to medal at a national championship again.

He’s spoken about mindset and motivation on the TED stage. I was thrilled to have him on the podcast today where he shared some great tips!
