Историята му е всичко друго, но не и обикновена: израстване в бедност, зависимости, престой в затвора, прострелване, фалит след намеса на данъчните власти и HIV диагноза. И въпреки това, Ранди изгражда нов живот, ново мислене и глобално влияние.В проекта „Resilience Project“ водещият Уес Линдън се впуска в промените в мирогледа и принципите, които променят живота на Ранди от живот, изпълнен с престъпления и отчаяние, в живот, изпълнен с изобилие и вдъхновение (и го превръщат в рок звезда в областта на мрежовия маркетинг). Научете как да разрушите самоограничаващите вярвания и да превърнете неуспехите в епични завръщания!В този разговор ще научите как да:• Разпознавате и разрушавате самоограничаващи убеждения• Препрограмирате негативното си мислене• Превръщате провалите в силни завръщания• Използвате трудните периоди като трамплин за израстване• Поемате лична отговорност за живота си• Изграждате устойчивост, когато всичко изглежда загубеноТова не е теория от „гуру“ курс. Това са уроци, изковани в реалния живот.________________________________________⏱ Таймкодове:00:00 Начало01:10 Въведение02:26 Въоръжен грабеж03:16 Беше ли против богатството?04:09 Какво те научи времето в затвора?06:41 Намиране на човек, който вижда потенциала ти07:47 Най-големият урок за устойчивост12:45 Това са добрите стари дни16:30 Програмиране за провал до 8-годишна възраст.

In this deeply moving episode of The Resilience Project, Wes Linden speaks with Gillian Millane OBE, a mother, campaigner, and extraordinary woman whose life was torn apart when her daughter Grace never came home.
In December 2018, Grace Millane, a bright and adventurous 22-year-old, was murdered while travelling in New Zealand by a man she met on Tinder. The case shocked the world and exposed deeply uncomfortable truths about violence against women and the narratives too often used to excuse it.
Rather than allowing grief to consume her, Gillian chose to turn devastating loss into purpose. Her victim impact statement was seen across the world. She went on to campaign tirelessly to help end the so-called 'rough sex' defence in UK courts, contributing to landmark legal change. Alongside Grace’s cousin Hannah, she co-founded Love Grace, a charity that has now supported tens of thousands of women escaping abuse across multiple countries.
Gillian also reflects on losing her husband David, receiving an OBE from Prince William, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and trekking to Everest Base Camp, and what resilience truly means when life delivers its harshest blows.
An amazing way to start Season 2, this is a powerful conversation about grief, justice, kindness, courage, and what it really takes to keep going.
