ABOUT THIS EPISODE

You are already resilient; you just have to decide to act on it.


Mohamed Massaquoi built his identity as an NFL wide receiver, then lost his hand in a 2017 accident and had to rebuild from the ground up. In this conversation he shares how he moved through the adversity in stages, redirected his competitive fire into leadership and speaking, and learned from a championship-winning high school coach and turbulent years in Cleveland what it really takes to lead people well. His message for anyone in the middle of something hard: if you live through it, there is an opportunity for an amazing life.
