I never give up. I never give up. I never give up.
Imagine facing the twin demons of addiction and severe injury at a young age. That's exactly what Kelly Killingsworth went through, starting his battle with substance abuse at just 15. But Kelly's story is far from just a tale of struggle; it's one of incredible resilience and ultimate triumph. After a catastrophic accident in 2003 left him with a broken neck and back, Kelly could have easily given up.
Instead, he pushed forward, even serving in the military with deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. His journey wasn’t easy—severe depression and self-doubt were constant companions. Yet, Kelly emerged on the other side, not just surviving but thriving. Today, he is over two years clean and sober, the proud owner of an excavation company, and a homeowner. As a father of three, Kelly's life is now filled with fulfillment and joy.
In this episode, Kelly shares his top tips on harnessing resilience to overcome adversity, applying recovery principles to achieve business success, and integrating personal values into business ethics. His story serves as a powerful reminder that no matter how dark the path may seem, there is always a way to the light.
