“Stéfan has triumphed again and again against seemingly insurmountable challenges like tackling of the Gobi Desert, only to emerge stronger each time. As a martial artist and tech-oriented, business executive, I’ve had my share of good luck and bad. I only wish that I’d had the benefit of Stéfan’s playbook to help me bounce back even faster from the toughest personal challenge I’ve ever faced. It began one day in 2003, when overnight I went from being a healthy, active, 35-year old black belt in Kempo karate to requiring hospitalization for paralysis – the culprit being Guillain-Barré Syndrom. Thankfully, like most, I fully recovered from this rare disorder, but getting better demanded extreme mental and physical stamina to truly reframe my life priorities. This challenge would have been far easier to conquer with Gobi BOLD in my pocket. His messages of thinking big, holding myself accountable, and enlisting the support of others, would have been the perfect guide to helping me get on the karate training mat again.”
