Episode 32: American Ninja Warrior Competitor Hoan Do On Grit & Resilience
How do you stay focused in moments of panic? Hoan Do sprained his ankle just before a filming of the American Ninja Warrior show, and yet, he made it to city finals. What was the internal dialogue, what goes on inside the mind of a competitor, author, and motivational speaker?
In this podcast, I take a moment to interview Hoan Do and ask him to share how he pushes through moments of stress, what intention and goal setting look like for him, as well as how Hoan found his passion to become an inspirational and motivational speaker for youth.
