A bullet hit the truck. A doctor set a countdown. For years, Dwayne Morton lived like time was running out—until a seventh oncologist connected the dots and uncovered severe sleep apnea, not blood cancer. The whiplash between relief and regret reshaped everything: how he worked, who he trusted, and the way he shows up for himself and others.

We go deep into resilience without buzzwords. Dwayne shares how survivor’s guilt and PTSD forced him to slow down, listen to his body, and rebuild his identity from athlete to author, coach, and podcaster. He breaks down the habits that actually move the needle—gratitude to shift attention, daily movement to lift energy, self-care to protect capacity, and adaptability to meet change—and why presence beats mere attendance every time. As a mental performance expert, he maps the practical tools that helped him turn pain into a repeatable process.

Relationships and integrity take center stage. Dwayne draws a sharp line between iron-beam supporters who hold real weight and twigs who only cheer from the sidelines. We explore why trust outperforms tactics in business, how character shows up in small choices, and why alignment matters more than hustle. You’ll also hear the unglamorous truth about podcasting, the compounding value of community, and the origin of his Bounce Back Blueprint—a playbook for turning setbacks into momentum.

If you’ve ever felt pressed by time, sidelined by misdiagnosis, or stuck between gratitude and grief, this conversation offers clarity and a path forward. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs a reset, and leave a review with the one habit you’ll “show up” for this week.
