Research has shown that certain genes can manifest resilient and highly focused people who can also be impulsive, easily distracted and struggle with addiction. If you have these traits, it can create havoc in your life. You may be diagnosed with ADHD or OCD. But what the world tells you is a disorder may actually be your greatest gift. Here to help is psychologist and author, Dr. Douglas Brackmann. Using his experience in teaching the highly Driven how to master their gift, Doug provides the insights and tools you need to master yours. Listen to interviews with Driven individuals to learn from their successes, their set-backs, and know you are in good company on the path to manifesting the life you've always wanted.

TJ Ferrara: A Journey of Resilience and Rediscovery

“Learning to make friends with suffering is the moment you really friends with it.”

Imagine being a high-octane entrepreneur, thriving on adrenaline through skydiving, semi-pro cycling, and CrossFit. That's TJ Ferrara's world. But life threw him a curveball when a drunk driver hit him, causing severe spinal injuries. In this episode of the 'I Am Driven Podcast', TJ shares how this life-altering event forced him to slow down and look inward. Instead of letting the accident define him, TJ turned to meditation, finding peace and strength in the process.

He talks about 'making friends with his suffering' and how this shift in perspective helped him rebuild his life and career. Now, as the co-founder of Bubs Naturals, TJ is dedicated to personal improvement and supporting military veterans through his business. Dr. Douglas Brackmann joins the conversation, diving into the unique traits of 'Driven' individuals and how to turn adversity into a pathway for success.

Whether you're an entrepreneur or someone seeking inspiration to overcome life's hurdles, TJ's story is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of meditation.
