- Mental Health
In today's episode, we have an exceptional, inspiring guest, Terry Tucker – a Motivational Speaker, creator of Motivational Check, and Author of "Sustainable Excellence: Ten Principles To Leading Your Uncommon and Extraordinary Life."
From a young age, Terry dealt with the heavy duties life imposed on him based on what his parents taught him about family and the meaning of team play. He had a successful career in corporate America and then transitioned to law enforcement, where he acted as an undercover drug investigator and SWAT Team hostage negotiator.
Terry is also a cancer warrior, fighting a rare type of melanoma since 2012.
Throughout our conversation, Terry shares a bit of his background, the lessons, and the values he learned as a child that he carried through life.
We delve into his passion for law enforcement, which made him quit his corporate America career, and he shares valuable insights from his experiences as a hostage negotiator.
We also talk about Terry's reaction to being diagnosed with cancer and how he managed to put his head back in place after that. He explains some principles from his book and takes us through the four truths he learned that changed his life.
Some Questions I Ask:
When you were a teenager, you spent some time helping your mother take care of your father. Please share with us a little bit more about that (4:59)
For the past ten years, you have been a cancer warrior. Could you speak about the inner turmoil of realizing you have cancer and how you stay in this positive state of being all the time? (9:47)
