REPUBLISH: Shark Attack Survivor’s Guide to Business Resilience with Brett Connellan

Turning the worst day of your life into your best is no easy feat, but sometimes there is simply no other option. In Brett Connellan’s case, this day included the moment every surfer’s worst nightmare became his reality when he was attacked by a Great White Shark.

In this episode of The Savvy Dentist Podcast Dr. Jesse Green introduces you to Brett Connellan.

The events that saved Brett’s life were not lost on him, and that perspective was needed as he faced a long and challenging road to recovery. With a bleak outlook prescribed to him by doctors, it was evident that Brett’s life as he knew it would never be the same.

These moments in time are pivotal in any person’s life as they often lead to a questioning of purpose and identity. The recovery forced Brett to "climb a new mountain" in his words and develop a different mindset towards resilience.
