56 | You Were Born Full And Meant To Empty Out

The Dr. Haley Show

Terry Tucker is is author of the book Sustainable Excellence, Ten Principles To Leading Your Uncommon and Extraordinary Life. He's a sought after speaker who uses the power of real life stories to motivate, inspire, and encourage others. He went from being an NCAA Division 1 Basketball player to SWAT Team hostage negotiator, to cancer warrior. His cancer eventually led to amputation of his foot in 2018 and then leg in 2020. Yet somehow he embraces the pain and difficulty and uses it to become stronger and more determined. He's appeared on literally hundreds of podcasts. I believe the way I can help you the most is by convincing you to subscribe to his YouTube channel @sustainableexcellence and take in his weekly inspirational. You've heard of daily devotionals... Terry delivers weekly "Inspirationals". They are about 5 minutes long and typically consist of a real life story of someone who did something great.
