My guest this week is Cody Byrns. Cody is an internationally recognized speaker, a number one best-selling author and the founder of The Cody Byrns Foundation for Burn Survivors.In May 2013, Cody’s life was changed drastically after he was rear-ended by a box-truck whilst stopped at a red light on the highway. He was considered dead until first responders saw his hand move. He received many injuries that day, including severe burns to almost 40% of his body. After years of countless surgeries and rehabilitation, Cody has chosen to not allow his scars to keep him bound in bitterness and defeat. Instead, he uses his story to uplift others.His vision is to help people live free from the bonds of scars (physical and emotional), equipping others with the proper steps to walk out of their past hurt and defeat and run toward their full potential. As a thought leader, he speaks worldwide to provide relevant, applicable, and thought-provoking messages. Be prepared to be entertained, inspired, motivated, and recharged, both in your work and in your life.Check out Cody’s website, codybyrns.com to learn more about his book and to hear his own speeches.
