episode 163: From Adversity to Entrepreneurship: Michael Allison's Master Class in Resilience and Transformation
When life threw curveballs at Michael Allison, he didn't just dodge; he caught them and threw them right back. Join us as the CEO of The Adversity Academy recounts a life marked by sheer resilience, from the sun-baked streets of Jamaica to the top tier of entrepreneurship. His candid narrative isn't just about the hardships but how they forged his path to greatness. Allison takes us through the highs and lows, from an ill-fated football career to his transformative military service and the mental health battles that ensued. His transition to civilian life was no walk in the park, marked by a taxing government job, personal struggles, and a divorce that set the stage for a self-improvement odyssey.
This episode is more than Allison's story—it's a master class in turning trials into triumphs. He opens up about the intensive treatment programs for PTSD and survivor's guilt that changed his life and how finding the right support system is like discovering a new superpower. From university presidents to the person next door, Allison's clientele share a common thread: the hunger for transformation. In this interview, he delves into the importance of empathy in the workplace, how to support colleagues in silent struggles, and how breaking free from limiting beliefs can unleash potential you never knew you had.
