Maaaate.... Nick Morrison went from riding full-grown bulls at 12 years old to breaking his neck, breaking his back, racking up more than 50 concussions and eventually losing the ability to speak. Let that sink in. A stand-up comedian and keynote speaker who literally couldn’t talk.

We went deep into identity. The cowboy up mentality. The addiction to adrenaline. The need to impress your peers. The regret that lingers when your career ends at 21 and you’re left asking who you were actually doing it for.

Nick shared what brain injury really looks like behind the scenes. The blackouts. The paranoia. The emotional volatility. The suicide attempts. And the moment a bullet misfired that changed the trajectory of his life.

What floored me most was this. He does two to four hours of brain work every single morning just to keep his speech. No days off. No excuses. And he still gets up and speaks on stages around the world.

We talked about regret. About trying to impress people who don’t even stick around. About unshackling yourself from other people’s opinions. About working like it depends on you and believing like it depends on something bigger.
