This week on the Good Humans Podcast, I sit down with Mikel Nyholt — a high-performing executive at Usher Group, where he leads sales, marketing, and culture for a $100M+ business employing over 500 people. But behind his professional success lies an incredible story of burnout, resilience, and self-healing that will leave you inspired.In his late 20s, Mikel’s life came crashing down. After years of pushing himself to the edge in business, he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) — told he’d need constant care, and even lost vision in one eye. But instead of accepting the bleak prognosis, Mikel chose a different path.He turned inward, exploring the power of breathwork, mindset, and holistic healing, and seven years later his doctors are still blown away by his recovery and vitality.In this powerful episode, we dive into: ✅ The personal and professional burnout that led to his MS diagnosis ✅ The moment he decided to take ownership of his healing journey ✅ How breathwork and nervous system regulation changed everything ✅ The role of purpose, balance, and mindset in sustainable success ✅ What he’s learned about leadership, health, and being truly aliveMikel’s story is a masterclass in self-awareness and the courage to challenge conventional thinking. From corporate burnout to deep healing, his journey shows what’s possible when we stop living on autopilot and start taking responsibility for our wellbeing.Follow MikelInstagram—Send me a DM on Instagram saying "I wanna join the club" to join our FREE mindfulness and gratitude accountability community :)1% Good Club Book!!The Good Human FactoryAmazonBooktopiaCooper's SocialsInstagramTikTokThe Good Human Factory LinksInstagramWebsiteMerch – Use code PODCAST for 25% OFFWorkshop EnquiryTHE GOOD HUMAN FACTORY™️ 2020 Hosted on Acast.

Jane l
I would choose a better word than allowed. allowed is not the word that defines it. but you scaffolded and helped them develop and grow and made them believe in what they are doing and in themselves. your children would not be that way unless you instilled that and encouraged their growth. .... they wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for you and your wife. thank you for all of them . they are great people and I listen to all there podcasts
Jane l
for them to grow! 👏
Jane l
I work in early childhood education, and as long as children feel safe secure and supported you can allow them to grow. you and alison (sorry for spelling that wrong) are a reflection of that. your not perfect parents, there is no such thing but your humility and allowance of your children's interests and growth is. your children are amazing but they are only as amazing as you have allowed them to be. you shaped there beliefs and values and who they are. how great that must feel! your allowance
Jane l
wow, thank you, dave. I have followed coopers podcast for a while! I am so glad you came on the podcast. They are not privileged but lucky to have such amazing parents. Not everyone is. To give your children all the oppurtunities, autonomy, and trust, shows in how they developed and grew. Children thrive off of these things and there are so many who do not ever feel this.
