From Olympic hopeful to Paralympic silver medalist, keynote speaker, and servant leader, John Register brings more than a story of resilience. He brings a framework for transformation.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why John doesn’t believe in “overcoming” adversity and what he does instead

• The power of redefining your new normal as a launchpad, not a limitation

• His RE framework: Reckoning, Revision, and Renewal

• What it means to “amputate fear” and move forward with purpose

• How to lead teams with empathy, vision, and humanity, even through layoffs or transition

Whether you’re unemployed, in leadership, or standing at your own life’s hurdle, John’s words offer insight, encouragement, and a reminder that the goal is not just to survive adversity, but to hurdle it.

This show is dedicated to John’s journey. This conversation is what we make it. This is Counsel Culture.
