Skydiving into Self-Discovery

John Register is a two-time Paralympian, a silver medalist, a Persian Gulf War veteran, and a TEDx motivational speaker. He's also someone who knows what it means to lose everything you planned for, and build something even more meaningful in its place.

A rising Olympic hopeful, John's dreams were shattered by a training accident that led to the amputation of his left leg. What followed wasn't just recovery but a reinvention of his identity, purpose, and impact.

Today, John shares how he "amputated the fear" of disability, found new purpose, and learned to thrive in a life he never expected. His experiences challenge us to reflect on how we respond to life's inevitable curveballs and how we can still become the best versions of ourselves, even when the path forward looks nothing like we imagined.

My friends, if you've ever faced an unexpected detour or felt like your best days were behind you, this conversation is for you. You'll leave it with renewed hope, a fresh mindset, and a reminder that your scars might just be the beginning of your greatest legacy.
