Episode 99:  Phillip McKernan

The Strength Through the Struggle Podcast shares stories of real people and the real challenges they have had to go through.

The stories are honest. Neither the guest each week, or the host, Mark Goblowsky shy's away from the truth... sometimes life is hard, really hard but we have what it takes to overcome all obstacles.

We are all going through something.

We each have what it takes to overcome.

We are not alone.

Success leaves clues and each guest shares how they overcame their own struggle and the strength they gained as a result.

From a blind man who climbed Mount Everest to a Super Bowl champ who, just a few years later had to sell his Super Bowl ring to pay his rent.

From people going through divorce and financial collapse who rebuilt their life to people who have lost a child to death and how they built a charity to help others.

Each person found the strength and wisdom to not just overcome but to be stronger as a result of having to go through their struggle.

We aren't always prepared for the challenges that show up in our lives but as a community, we can overcome and be stronger for it.

It's Mark's mission to find those who've come through pain and heartache and are stronger for having done so – and share their inspirational stories with you. Because it's not only our own experiences that bring lessons and strength.
