No Bollocks with Matt Haycox

You wake up and have no legs—what do you do? You were dead for 20 minutes and shouldn’t even be alive. Yannick Rebsamen’s story is straight out of a nightmare, but what he’s done since will blow your mind. From surviving the unimaginable to becoming an unstoppable entrepreneur and a self-made millionaire, Yannick’s journey is the ultimate comeback.
In this no-holds-barred episode of No Bollocks with Matt Haycox, I sit down with Yannick to uncover the raw and unfiltered truth about how his life took a massive turn after losing his legs. We kick off with the gritty details of the accident and dive straight into how he managed to stay so bloody calm in the face of absolute chaos. Yannick doesn’t sugarcoat anything—he talks us through his recovery, the brutal reality of leaving the hospital, and how he had to kiss his football dreams goodbye. You’ll hear about the reactions of people around him and how this life-altering event affected his friendships. Yannick also dishes out some priceless mindset advice, drawing on stories like Lurata Lyon’s, and he gets real about hitting rock bottom financially. But it’s not all doom and gloom—Yannick shares why he thinks having “one” of anything is a dangerous game and how he’s adapted to his new normal, from driving to networking. He even spins the questions about his legs into opportunities, showing us all how to turn challenges into connections.
