  <title>1422. #TFCP - Zero Excuses: How a 4-Time Cancer Survivor Redefines Grit!</title>
  <description>If you’re feeling overwhelmed by work stress, financial burdens, or the constant pressure of a shifting freight market, this high-energy conversation with Nick Klingensmith breaks down what it actually takes to build resilience in the face of real-world adversity! We’re moving past the &amp;quot;internet success&amp;quot; fluff to discuss the grind of being a multi-time cancer survivor, an Ironman athlete, and a sales professional navigating the complexities of logistics and systems development. Nick shares the crucial difference between fleeting emotional motivation and the rock-solid discipline required to execute a freight lane analysis or make those grueling cold calls. Whether you’re a freight broker struggling with contracted rates or an entrepreneur facing a plateau, Nick and I get frank about the necessity of simplifying your goals into simple action steps and embracing the process until you see progress. This episode is a straightforward wake-up call for anyone in the transportation and beyond who is ready to stop making excuses, define their obstacles clearly, and start winning by focusing on the person they want to become! &amp;amp;nbsp; About Nick Klingensmith After being thrown out of a Las Vegas hotel in a drunken haze, jeopardizing his career and relations, Nick had to make a change. A 4-time cancer survivor, type-I diabetic, recovering alcoholic with herniated discs, nerve damage and sleep apnea, he defies it all when he finds Obstacle Course Racing. Refusing to accept his limitations, he’s completed over 100 Spartan Races, 6 Major Marathons, several Ultras, and scores of other obstacle and endurance events.&amp;amp;nbsp; As someone who has walked the path of a sales professional, Nick is an expert in propelling other achievement-driven professionals and leaders to overcome fear and rejection and push past self-limiting doubts, by inspiring them to take purposeful action towards their goals.&amp;amp;nbsp; Nick is a raw and passionate storyteller who holds nothing back when revealing who he used to be and the person he is now. A true testament to the power of resilience, with an unwavering belief in his purpose to overcome obstacles and inspire others to do the same, Nick delivers powerful and transformative speeches, drawing from personal experiences to illustrate the extraordinary potential of pushing through adversity. &amp;amp;nbsp; Nick’s books on Amazon:   Selling, Inspired!: A Mental Endurance Guide For Enduring Sales Performance  THROUGH THE FIRE : The story of the 4-time cancer survivor, type-1 diabetic, and recovering alcoholic who became an obstacle course racer and defied it all.  &amp;amp;nbsp; Connect with Nick  Website: https://www.stridemotivation.com/&amp;amp;nbsp; LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nklingensmith/&amp;amp;nbsp; Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100069207242260&amp;amp;nbsp; Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOiV2sNB3g4meufvBg3a9sA&amp;amp;nbsp; TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stridemotivation?lang=en&amp;amp;nbsp; Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stridemotivation/  &amp;amp;nbsp; 📊📉 Don’t miss out on the latest market trends by subscribing to your TOP Transportation Morning Show! 🌎 🎬🎯&amp;amp;nbsp;#TheFreightCoach Morning Show is LIVE every weekday at 10:30 AM CST to break down transportation industry headlines!
