In this episode, Alex Quin chats with Nick Santonastasso where we learn that the “biggest disability you can have is a bad mindset.” Nick, born with hand heart syndrome, not only survived this rare disease but overcame bullying with a bad mindset on life, became a wrestler, a body builder, a motivational speaker, and now a coach teaching other coaches how to make 6-7 figures online. You won't want to miss his impactful words of wisdom on how you can grow just by asking yourself the right questions and always staying positive. Alex breaks down Nick’s journey from childhood to now being one of the most influential and positive minds of our lifetime.

The quality of your life, comes down to the quality of the questions you ask yourself on a day to day basis. Ask yourself better questions. Instead of asking “Why Me”, ask yourself “ What can I learn from this.
