Becoming the Better Version of You: Resilience, Discipline, and Reinvention with Rooney Niemi

Becoming the Better Version of You: Resilience, Discipline, and Reinvention with Rooney Niemi

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Rooney Niemi—entrepreneur, coach, husband, father, and survivor. Rooney’s journey includes overcoming cancer, stroke, and more than 40 surgeries, experiences that shaped his philosophy of resilience and discipline. He shares how shifting from a “what-if” mindset to an “even-if” mindset changed everything, why discipline is the foundation of success, and how personal development defines the ceiling of our achievements. This powerful conversation is a masterclass in reinventing yourself, breaking free from victimhood, and learning to rise with gratitude and courage.

About the Guest :

Rooney Niemi is the CEO of his own coaching company and COO of PTV Labs and DOP3 Energy. A former competitive bodybuilder, he now channels his energy into mentoring others in resilience, discipline, business, and fitness. His coaching is built on lived experience—facing near-death moments, battling illness, and rebuilding with structure and intention. Rooney believes true success comes only when you master yourself.

Key Takeaways :

  • Resilience is built in adversity—Rooney turned illness and over 40 surgeries into blessings that taught him strength and perspective.

  • Shifting from “what-if” thinking to an “even-if” mindset removes fear and excuses, creating room for courage.

  • Discipline starts with honesty about what not to do—skipping workouts, chasing instant gratification, or lying to yourself.

  • Routines become rituals when practiced consistently; structure brings freedom.

  • Success is tied to personal growth—your achievements will never exceed your level of self-development.

  • Gratitude is not just words; it requires results, action, and living with intention.

  • Early mornings and consistent wins set the tone for a day of confidence and control.

  • Feedback—positive or negative—should be listened to and acted on, not ignored.

  • Discipline is not suffocating when tied to self-respect and pride in who you are becoming.

  • Helping others begins with first proving to yourself that change is possible.
