Growing up, we often heard that adversity breeds character. My guest today, John Brink, is a prime example of this adage. Today, we're discussing succeeding in entrepreneurship against all odds and forming an unstoppable mindset.
John's journey from his early days in war-torn Holland to becoming a serial entrepreneur in Canada is a testament to the power of resilience and the human spirit. John is the President and CEO of the Brink Group of Companies and 10+ other companies. He's also the author of three books and hosts the ON THE BRINK Podcast series.
As he shares his story with us, we also unpack the unexpected advantages of personal challenges like ADHD. John's insights on converting trials into triumphs offer a masterclass in leveraging what some may see as limitations to our advantage.
Encountering an 83-year-old (soon-to-be 84-year-old) nationally-ranked bodybuilder sounds like a tale for the books. But for John, it's just another chapter in a life brimming with vitality and defiance of age-related stereotypes.
This episode explores how lifestyle choices like diet, exercise, and a positive mindset significantly impact our health as we age and our overall approach to living.
Through John's narrative, we unearth the misconceptions about aging and learn how cultivating a balance between work and personal interests contributes to a life well-lived, regardless of the number of candles on our birthday cake.
