Today on the Time2CHANGE Podcast, Dr. Melissa and I are joined by Russ Hedge, cancer survivor, bestselling author, speaker, podcaster, and livestream host, for a powerful conversation about resilience, purpose, faith, community, and how to keep moving forward when life delivers its toughest challenges. Russ also shares how podcasting, livestreaming, speaking, and writing have become vehicles for inspiring others to live intentionally and pursue lives of significance. If you have ever faced a setback, health challenge, career transition, or season of uncertainty, this conversation will remind you that your circumstances do not define your future and that purpose can often be found on the other side of adversity. 🔑 Three Major Takeaways 1\. Adversity Can Reveal Your True Purpose Russ's cancer journey taught him that some of life's greatest challenges can become the catalyst for discovering a deeper mission. Rather than allowing adversity to define him, he used it as fuel to inspire and encourage others. 2\. Community Changes Everything One of Russ's strongest messages is the importance of building genuine relationships. Through business, podcasting, livestreaming, and everyday life, meaningful connection creates encouragement, opportunity, and support during difficult seasons. 3\. Your Mindset Shapes Your Outcome Regardless of circumstances, Russ believes that choosing hope, gratitude, and a positive perspective can dramatically change the way we navigate challenges. Success begins with how we choose to think and respond. 🔗 Russ Hedge Social Links 💥Website: https://www.russhedge.com 💥LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/russhedge 💥YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RussHedge 💥FB: https://www.facebook.com/russhedge Follow Dr. Melissa: 💥Web: / https://eqviaempathy.com/ 💥LinkedIn: / dr-melissa-a-robinson-winemiller-author-sp... 💥IG: / empathyqueen.eq 💥Podcast: / Leading With Empathy In The Age Of Artific... / 💥Book: / https://a.co/d/6jw8GhM/ 💥TEDx: / 5 steps to start being kinder to yourself ... / Follow Chason: 💥Linkt.ee: / https://linktr.ee/chasonforehand/ 🔐Key Points in the message: 00:01 Purpose Is Found Through Adversity 00:11 What is Time2CHANGE is all about 01:22 Sponsors 02:03 Who is Russ Hedge 03:30 Befuddled?: Live the Life You Choose! 08:47 How has Cancer Affected Your Perspective? 11:35 Oct 2-4 Perspectives on Cancer in Garrison, NY 19:17 What's Coming Up for Russ! 🏷️ SEO Hashtags: #RussHedge, #CancerSurvivor, #MelanomaSurvivor, #PurposeDrivenLife, #Resilience, #OvercomingAdversity, #LeadershipDevelopment, #PersonalGrowth, #MindsetMatters, #InspirationalSpeaker, #PodcastHost, #Livestreaming, #FaithAndResilience, #CommunityBuilding,#EntrepreneurMindset, #LeadershipMatters, #podcastseries, #podcastcommunity, #podcastlife, #podcasterthoughts, #podcastforcreatives, #mindfulpodcast, #inspirationpodcast, #change\_is\_inevitable, #change\_your\_life, #chason\_forehand, #DrMelissa, #Dr\_Meliisa\_Robinson\_Winemiller, #podcast, #Time2CHANGE, #nonprofitorganization, #globally\_ranked 🎬 𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐕𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐎𝐒: ▶ • How to Live Unmuted and Courageously Express Yourself • / • • How to Live Unmuted and Courageously Expre... ▶ • How Creativity Unlocks Innovation and New Possibilities • / • • How Creativity Unlocks Innovation and New ... ▶ • The Shift from Me to Team Building a Winning Culture • / • • The Shift from Me to Team Building a Winni... 🔷🔷 ✖ 𝐂𝐎𝐏𝐘𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐈𝐂E���: This video and our YouTube channel contain dialogue, music, and images owned by 🟫🟫 "HR-4U" 🟫🟫
