Speaker: Cody Byrns
As many of us understand, life is truly a roller coaster ride. We all face our highs and lows, and some of us encounter unexpected turns. We sometimes find ourselves getting burned by life’s difficulties, and these burning moments can often leave us scarred. Cody Byrns shares his personal experience of how his life suddenly changed while he was stopped at a red light and rear-ended; he was severely burned and almost left for dead. He speaks on his life-altering experience, on the importance of focusing, and on what really matters in life. Through his story, Cody gives analogies of the fires that life’s challenges bring – whether in our personal lives or our careers – and how that same fire can temper our lives to make us stronger. Prepare to experience an engaging presentation that will uplift and propel you to live your life to its fullest potential.
