In this episode of the You-est You podcast, I talk to Matt Drinkhahn, a former pro golfer who survived a near-fatal accident and learned how to overcome perfectionism, surrender to what he can’t control, and raise his emotional intelligence. Matt is a successful sales leader, coach, podcaster, and soon-to-be author who helps owners and leaders grow their businesses and lives.

 

Matt shares his inspiring story of how he recovered from a freak zip-line accident that left him with major back injuries and a shattered dream of walking again. He reveals the one word that changed his life for the better and how he learned to embrace his emotions and express them authentically. He also gives us some practical tips on applying our core values, practicing gratitude, and using his equation to solve any problem or issue in our lives.

 

This is a powerful and uplifting conversation that will help you discover your You-est You and live with more joy, purpose, and optimism. Tune in and learn:

  • How Matt survived a near-fatal accident and what he learned from it
