Have you ever felt like your entire identity was tied to your performance? That your worth was measured by your achievements on the field, court, at work or even at home? In this episode, we sit down with David Gauss, a 28-year-old strength trainer with a remarkable journey that took him from Germany to the sunny shores of Tampa, Florida. David shares how his life as a competitive athlete in skiing, football, and soccer was turned upside down by a career-ending injury, and the emotional and mental toll it took. His story is a powerful reminder that sometimes, the greatest strength we can find isn't in our physical abilities, but in our ability to shift our perspective, find purpose outside of our passions, and discover the profound fulfillment that comes from helping others.
