176. From Overcoming An Incurable Childhood Cancer, To Becoming An International Athlete, Speaker, Author, & Philanthropist. Stories And Lessons From A Lifetime Of Survival With Michael Crossland

Imagine being diagnosed with a rare, terminal cancer as a baby. So you have to undergo chemotherapy for your first birthday, be on a drug even though it's killed 24 out of 25 children who were on it, then have your first heart attack when you're 12, and despite this barrage of struggles, this is just the start.

This is Michael Crossland's story, where he fights not just against the odds, but the impossible, and can achieve his dreams of becoming an international athlete, speaker, author, businessman & philanthropist.

In this episode, I sit down with Michael to hear his stories and learnings from a lifetime of survival. From how he keeps his faith against all that gets thrown at him, how he turns his mindset around when he's on the verge of giving up, his routines to maintain hope even when he's been told he's got 4 tumours and tomorrow isn't guaranteed, how he navigates with judgement, what he's learned from spending time with orphans in Haiti helping rebuild a school and orphanage, and so much more.

Michael's story is incredibly moving and inspiring. It will open up your perspective and help you see yourself in a different light, especially when it comes to what can and cannot be achieved, and what can be overcome. Enjoy :)

About Trang

Trang is an international and TEDx speaker, and a leading life and business mentor for those who know they're made for more. In particular, those who are hungry to build their dream business of impact to replace their profession, so they can live with freedom and fulfillment.

Born to Vietnamese immigrant parents, Trang spent the first part of her life succumbing to traditional Asian expectations, where she started her career as a Physiotherapist. However, her rebellious and visionary personality eventually led her to question how she could help people not just as athletes but as humans.

Trang started her coaching business but initially had no idea what she was doing, so she quickly overworked herself to the point of burn-out. Not just once, but twice, she fell asleep at the wheel and caused two accidents.

That is why Trang now runs the free and fulfilled business movement, so people can achieve business success while thriving not just as business owners, but as human beings. 

Ultimately, she believes that when enough people thrive, humanity will thrive, and when humanity thrives, the world will thrive for all of us and future generations.
