Derek Reid, who is a Life Coach and Health/Fitness expert was my special guest on Success Profiles Radio this week. We discussed how he survived a head-on car crash, slipped into a coma, and less than a year later found himself serving in a miltary conflict while still dealing with untreated PTSD.

Derek also talked about how he realized that being overweight, jobless, depressed, and suicidal was no way to live and that he was worthy of much more that that. From this struggle, he completely changed his lifestyle and within 8 months was running in marathons and competing in Iron Man competitions.

He has since become a personal trainer and health/fitness expert, and advises clients on healthy lifestyle choices, exercise, and nutrition.

In addition, Derek is a life coach who has developed his unique course called ”Inner Happiness – The Key To Your Life Mastery", as well as his VICTORY goal setting curriculum. He is also the author of the book Coma 2 Combat, which details how he dealt with his accident and subsequent road to recovery.

We also talked at length about the importance of authentic communication with self and others, accountability, and having an abundance mindset and what that takes to develop.
