#32- Michael O'Brien "I had a moment that I said, whomever is listening, if you save my life, I promise I will stop chasing happiness."
Manage episode 376750375 series 3394106
Michael's last bad day was in 2001, when he was hit head-on by a Ford Explorer going 40 miles an hour while biking toward the vehicle. While time slowed down in his mind, it did not slow down enough for him to avoid the collision. After many rounds of surgery and months of recovery, he was told that he would never live the same life he had before. Walking, talking, and returning to normalcy would be stacked against him. He chose to regain his life and ultimately take a different path to lead him where he is now.
Michael hasn't had a bad day since, or at least he knows how to approach his life differently, so he doesn’t. Michael has become an author, speaker, executive coach, and more! You can find him here: Michael O'Brien
