May 17 2022 • 56 mins

Has your life changed overnight? We never know what tomorrow can bring, which is why it’s so important to be grateful for what we have today.


In this episode, I am joined by the wonderful Scott Chesney, a world-renowned motivational speaker and life coach.  At the age of 15, Scott woke  up with paralysis from a sudden spinal stroke. Since navigating life with paralysis for nearly 35 years, Scott is known as “The Commander in Change” by his clients. His work has been applauded by The United Nations, The Pentagon, The FBI, Fortune 500 corporations, sports teams, hospitals/rehab centers, associations, and K-12 schools. In April 2020, a documentary about Scott’s life entitled “Ride the Wave” was released worldwide.


Tune in to hear about Scott’s inspirational journey. He shares what his childhood was like before he woke up with paralysis, how the sudden change impacted his approach to living, how grief has played a role throughout his life, and so much more. Scott has incredible insights about the transformational experiences within his life and inspiring stories that will change your perspective.
