S1E13 | Max Conserva- on Being A Master of His Condition

Max Conserva was born and raised in California who's living a normal life when a tragedy struck. He was hit by a semi-truck as a kid which left his legs broken. Through many medical efforts of making his legs work normally again, they just became deformed which gave him the need for a brace for life. Although Max lived a normal life as a kid growing up with the help of his carbon-fiber and steel made braces, there was one pressing problem he was dealing with, shame. He was so afraid of people getting to see his legs and as a result, limiting his activities. It came to a point where he wasn't showing his legs to his girlfriend. Max took a leap of faith in his life when he joined a triathlon race where he made himself vulnerable and finally shared his condition to the world. This led him to the creation of GoodLeg.org which helps adaptive individuals face their hard problems such as Max's through the mastery of their condition. On this episode, listen to Max Conserva as he talks about the following topics:

How Max faced the challenges of his condition at an early age
What is condition mastery and how important it is for Max
Participating in a triathlon race and making himself vulnerable
What is GoodLeg.org and what prompted Max to start it
How to become a master of your hard problem
