23. Are You Alive? Well Start Acting Like It with Billy Michels
Our guest today, Billy Michels, went through cancer, divorce, leaving his 15-year teaching career, and selling his home, all in the same year… Yes you read that right. All in one year. Majority of us would agree going through one of those is enough stress for a lifetime. But Billy is the epitome of resiliency.
Billy is a candid story teller and talks about how two life changing moments of traveling through India and climbing Mount Hood gave him the tools he needed to conquer all the hands he’s been dealt. He hopes to share these lessons with others in hopes that they can make a positive difference in their lives.
