## Resource

What happens when the life you planned is no longer an option? Meet Andrew. He’s a Director of Business Development navigating a major company acquisition. New systems, new leadership, new expectations. In a moment of frustration, he joins in on the negativity with his team, only to walk away feeling like he’s added to the problem instead of leading through it. What he wants most is to show up with clarity, confidence, and control in the middle of change. In this episode, Jay sits down with John Register, a Paralympic silver medalist, Army combat veteran, and Hall of Fame keynote speaker who knows firsthand what irreversible change looks like. After a life-altering injury led to the amputation of his leg, John rebuilt his life and now teaches leaders how to navigate change with courage and conviction. Notable Quotes “New means no prior point of reference.” — John Register “Certainty is often just arrogance.” — John Register “Inspiration means to breathe life into others.” — John Register About Our Guest John Register is a Paralympic silver medalist, Army combat veteran, and Hall of Fame keynote speaker. After losing his leg in a training accident while preparing for the Olympics, he rebuilt his identity and went on to compete at the highest levels of sport.
