Andrew Johnston: Battling Leukemia and Championing Resilience

I believe you can't get what you don't have, um, and I think that's one of the biggest uh lessons somebody needs to learn is that you see the god in yourself, so you can see the god in other people.
What happens when relentless drive meets unyielding adversity? Andrew Johnston's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the human spirit. On this episode of the 'I Am Driven Podcast', psychologist Dr. Douglas Brackmann chats with Andrew, a professional athlete and multi-race champion, who has faced more than his fair share of challenges. Diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia at just 32, Andrew didn't let this stop him.
Instead, he pushed forward, continuing his athletic career and later becoming a personal trainer and holistic health practitioner. Their conversation isn't just about surviving; it's about thriving. They dive into the nitty-gritty of what it means to be 'Driven', discussing the highs and lows that come with such an intense personality trait.
Andrew shares how he maintains gratitude amidst hardship and tackles the universal fear of parenthood: 'How bad will we screw up our kids?' This episode is packed with insights on positive thinking, self-reflection, and the importance of perspective. If you're looking for a dose of inspiration or simply want to hear an incredible story of human endurance, this episode is for you.
