Episode 203 Brock Mealer

This week we had the pleasure of having friend of the podcast Brock Mealer back on the podcast for a second time! Brock is a Keynote Speaker, Spinal Cord Injury Survivor, and Author of the brand-new book; Beyond 1%: Unleashing Your Potential Against All Odds. We chatted about the motivation behind writing this book and the difficulties tapping back into the emotions of the car accident that changed his life forever, how the book is more than just a story but also a template to help the reader set and achieve goals, and having his family members add stories and memories from their perspectives and weaving those into the book. This book made me laugh, cry, and think and I recommended to anyone dealing with a disability or not, I genuinely think there's something in it for everyone. Connect with Brock at his social media links below and do yourself a favor and order the book at the Amazon link!!
