Today I'm sharing an unbelievable interview with Sebastian Bates, who is a best-selling author, podcast host, retired professional fighter, father, and founder of The Warrior Academy. Sebastian's story is amazingly inspiring. At 24, he experienced a horrendous BASE jump accident and was told he would never walk again. He refused to accept that and through a combination of willpower and discipline, he recovered. He shares his story with us and we dive into the details: his mindset, determination, his background as a fighter and teacher, his passion for helping others, and the impact he is having and wants to have through his philanthropic work at The Bates Foundation. I hope this interview makes you feel as inspired and motivated as it made me! Read the show notes for today's episode at terricole.com/599
