Nick Santonastasso is an American entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and social media personality. He was born with Hanhart Syndrome, a rare genetic condition resulting in him being born with no legs and one arm. In this compelling conversation, Nick joins Zuby to discuss his recent move from the USA to the UAE and how new environments shape mindset and behaviour. They explore Nick’s approach to confronting mortality, the pivotal childhood experiences that forged his resilience, and the unique dynamics of his family. Nick reveals his greatest life lessons and shares powerful strategies for staying positive and thriving in the face of life’s toughest challenges.
