I met Vincent Lanci years ago at a speed networking game at Podfest.
I had no idea how much his story would teach me.
Not long ago, my four-year-old grandson was at my house.
I didn't have a children's book, so I pulled out *Mr. Lanci Talks Mental Health*.
We did a few of the exercises together. He loved it.
That's Vince. He finds a way to serve people at every age.
But his story started with a moment that could have stopped everything.
At 21, a car hit him on his walk home.
He woke from a coma and had to relearn how to walk, talk, and spell.
He was told he might need care for life.
Instead, he went back to school.
He spoke at his MBA commencement.
He built a podcast production company.
And now he's helping other survivors as a TBI coach.
His new book, *TBI Recovery: Extended Edition*, isn't just for survivors.
It's for the parents, spouses, and kids walking beside them.
This Thursday on Winners Find A Way, we talk about:
- Starting over from zero after a severe brain injury
- Why caregivers need support too
- Asking for help when your pride says no
- Setting boundaries as a business owner
- Mentorship as a value exchange
- Why you should never wait for the perfect opportunity
Vince reminded me of a truth I've seen in sports and business:
The longer you stay in the game, the better chance something good happens.
Join me live this Thursday at 10 AM EST on LinkedIn, YouTube, and Facebook.
