132. Lessons on Resilience and Overcoming Setbacks with Johnny Quinn
🎙️ Breakthroughs in life aren’t luck. Nor do they only happen when everything goes right. They’re built through resilience when the plan falls apart.
🎧 In this week’s episode of The Keynote Curators Podcast, I sit down with Johnny Quinn—former pro football player, U.S. Olympian, and bestselling author of PUSH.
Yes, his Olympic bathroom-door story is legendary, but the point isn’t the door, it’s the mindset. When a barrier won’t budge, do you push through and aim at the next goal or stay stuck where you are?
🎯 Johnny shares his playbook for:
✅ Determining your first move when a door (literal or figurative) won’t open
✅ Turning setbacks into springboards (NFL cuts → Team USA)
✅ Understanding why teams dig in on change—and how to unstick them
