Ep.44 - From Victim to Victory: The Billy Brown Story

Prepare yourself for one powerful story in this episode. Jason interviews the author, and Tony Robins Trained Motivational Speaker, Billy Brown. Billy is a survivor of a car accident at the age of two. Burned on over 70% of his body and having 100s of surgeries, Billy with the help of his loving mother refused to be a victim of his circumstance and developed and lived every day by his mantra of "I am love, and I live with purpose." From school, football fields, real estate career, prosperity, bankruptcy, and redemption nothing stands in his way. After a chance meeting with the world-famous Tony Robbins, Billy has found his true calling as a motivational speaker that is living proof that anyone can overcome adversity and move on in life to be the best that you can be. Billy's book title sums of his life perfectly, "Rise From the Ashes." Jason says this is a "shut up and listen show," trust us, you will agree.

Key Takeaways:

> There are no victims in this life, only volunteers.
> Adversity is not meant to punish us but rather to prepare us.
> Billy's mantra: I am love, and I live with purpose.
