"Trust your instincts." - Don Woodring
Don is the luckiest guy in the world. His mother was an alcoholic and drug addict and took him and his siblings to live in the Compton/Watts area where many bad things had transpired. His father then brought them back to Pennsylvania where they were raised. From those humble beginnings he then paid for his own college, and was selected by a Fortune 500 company as their top national recruit.
Due to the societal, familial and religious pressures, he married a woman and they had 2 beautiful boys. He also experienced some severe medical issues including Muscular Dystrophy, Type 1 Diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, skin cancer, kidney transplant, pancreas transplant, sudden and complete loss of his hearing in his right ear and will be legally blind in a couple of years.
He created a way to overcome those obstacles, however, the only “issue” that he truly struggled with was the fact that he was gay. Today he speaks on these topics and is writing a book on the topic of overcoming obstacles and how to succeed in spite of them.
Regardless of those issues, he was still able to win 3 state championships, take 3rd in another, received a scholarship to study in Mexico and receive personal mentorship from some of the best business minds in the world, including CEOs and Co-Chairmen of Fortune 500 companies.
He became a Country Manager at age 29 and the CEO of a public company at age 39. He was only one of about 10 under the age of 40 at that time. He truly feels that he is the luckiest man on the planet!
