EP 373 - This week we sit down with Jon White, a professional kayaker, engineer, business leadership coach and occasional rock climber, who would probably be doing none of those things if he hadn’t lost his right arm and both legs stepping on an I.E.D. in Afghanistan in 2010.Jon is fascinating on how calm acceptance (and the royal marine value of humour in the face of adversity) helped him avoid PTSD. He’s very clear that his personal approach might not work for everybody but we think that there is a lot to learn from his calm, understated approach to life.*For Apple Podcast chapters, access them from the menu in the bottom right corner of your player*Spotify Video Chapters:00:00 BWB with Jon White03:02 The Afghanistan Conflict Explained07:56 Life After Injury: Rehabilitation and Resilience24:41 The Importance of Mindset and Humour33:10 Rehabilitation and Adaptation36:13 Innovations in Prosthetics37:17 Personal Journey and Challenges38:56 Business Ventures and Leadership41:59 Engineering and Adaptation48:28 Philosophies on Life and Leadership54:31 Quickfire - Get To Know Jon01:05:42 Wrap Upbusinesswithoutbullshit.meWatch and subscribe to us on YouTubeFollow us:InstagramTikTokLinkedinTwitterFacebookIf you'd like to be on the show, get in contact - [email protected] is powered by Oury Clark
