Laughing in the Face of Adversity

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.
