Ep190: Transforming Your Disabilities Into Superpowers | with Erik Stolhanske

<blockquote>“I never wanted anything to stop me. Not even having a wooden leg.”</blockquote><blockquote>- Erik Stolhanske</blockquote><p><a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0831479/" rel="nofollow"><strong>Erik Stolhanske</strong></a> is an actor, writer and producer probably best known for his role as ‘Rabbit’ in <em>Super Troopers</em> <em>1</em> and <em>2</em>. And if you’re one of the many P90X junkies like me, you might also remember Erik as the guy with the prosthesis in the plyometrics video (yes…the guy with a wooden leg in the jumping workout!). No matter his role (and he has a lot), Erik always brings his unstoppable mindset and a tenacity to pursue the most challenging goals, no matter the obstacles. And given Erik was born with only one leg, he’s had to overcome a lot.</p><p>Whether you are battling a physical, mental, emotional, or circumstantial disadvantage in your life, this episode will leave you feeling empowered to go after your own S.T.U.P.I.D. goals (and you’ll learn all about what that means). If you’ve ever felt as if a specific disability in your life has been sabotaging you from achieving the life you dream of, you’re going to love Erik’s advice on how to not only to accept your disability (and yes, we ALL have one) but how to turn it into your superpower.</p><p>Erik will teach you how to better respond to every ‘no’ you encounter in your life (whether it’s coming from yourself or others) and frame it positively. We’ll discuss Erik’s ‘red light, green light’ game (and you’ll get to witness me in the hot seat) that is an exercise geared towards not only building resilience against the word ‘no’, but learning how to use it to activate new ideas, and you’ll also hear the inspiring story of how <em>Super Troopers</em> took a decade to become a reality. This is a light-hearted and humorous conversation that will no doubt leave you feeling inspired to make whatever the ‘wooden leg’ is in your life your superpower.</p><h3>Want to Hear More Episodes Like This One?</h3><p><a href="https://optimiz
