Overcoming Setbacks With A Positive Mindset | Wedotalk with David Jaques and Special Guest - Daniel MacQueen

On September 20, 2022 David interviewed Dan MacQueen from Vancouver, Canada. In his mid-twenties, Dan was a recent graduate of a master’s degree in sustainability and was working for a technology company in London. He sought medical help when suffering from headaches, and distorted vision and was diagnosed with a non-cancerous cyst on his brain. During surgery, he suffered a massive brain hemorrhage and was severely incapacitated and in a coma for several weeks. On the road to recovery, he was in and out of consciousness before moving to a rehabilitation center for several more months. Slowly, he re-learned how to walk, talk and smile again; but about one year after his initial surgery, he needed a second brain surgery to unblock a shunt, which set him back another couple of months. After a 16-month journey, he was able to return to work. Dan credits his positive mindset and determination not to give up as the main reasons that he was able to recover.
Dan had received great support from his employer, but recently, in a corporate re-structuring, he lost his job. Once again, his positive mindset resulted in him re-framing his life and pursue a new career as a freelance motivational speaker, coach and podcast host. Dan shares with David, many of his stories of recovery and the opportunities that he sees for himself in the future.
