In this powerful episode of The Motivational Mic, host Jacob Orlick sits down with his mentor, Dan Kosick, a true embodiment of resilience and determination. Dan’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary—he’s a cancer survivor, amputee, Paralympian, devoted husband and father, social worker, coach, and adventurer.

Dan opens up about his battle with cancer as a young adult, the challenges of adapting to life as an amputee, and how he refused to let these obstacles define him. He shares his inspiring story of becoming a world-class athlete and finding balance in his many roles, from being a ‘girl dad’ to guiding others as a social worker and coach.

Listeners will gain deep insights into how Dan turned adversity into fuel for personal and professional growth. He offers invaluable advice on maintaining a positive mindset, finding purpose in life’s toughest moments, and the importance of living with intention.
