59. Colin Morgan -nAccepting That You Need To Change

In this episode, Lance and Colin Morgan discuss moving on from the past by taking every adversity as a learning opportunity. They talk about the fulfillment of being able to learn from their past and share their messages to help others. As podcasts hosts, both Lance and Colin also speak on their respective journeys of becoming podcast hosts, connecting with others, and the importance of being consistent. 

Colin Morgan is a former pro-golfer turned entrepreneur. He is the host of the top-rated podcast called “The Daily Grind”. Although he has had a successful career in sales, marketing, and as a professional speaker, Colin has had to overcome some difficult challenges in his life such as physical, mental, and sexual abuse. He has now had a platform dedicated to helping people share their stories and how to prepare them for the next step in their lives.


Colin tells listeners: “I think overcoming adversity means making a change. You have to make a change in some aspect of your life. If you hold out your fist, it is a universal symbol for power. If you want to make a change, you need to make this fist.”

In this episode, you will learn:

  • That your past is the past; it does not define you
  • To focus on who you are as a person
  • About being self-aware and understanding the ways that a negative mindset may lead you to self-sabotage

About the Podcast

University of Adversity
Real stories and tools to help you grow through adversity, burnout, and reinvention.
University of Adversity is a show about the moments that change us — especially the ones we didn’t ask for.

I’m Lance Essihos, and I sit down with athletes, bestselling authors, doctors, entrepreneurs, spiritual teachers, and everyday warriors to have real conversations about adversity — the kind that strips away the surface and forces us to face who we really are.

We go deep into the mindset shifts, emotional breakthroughs, and practical tools that helped them rebuild. Not just to survive, but to come back stronger, clearer, and more aligned.

This isn’t motivation.
It’s what happens after the breakdown, when you’re trying to put the pieces back together and make it mean something.

If you’re in a season of uncertainty, burnout, or reinvention — this show is here to walk with you.

We don’t just talk about getting through the hard times.
We talk about who you become because of them.

Lance Essihos

As an experienced veteran with adversity, Lance has faced some of life's most difficult challenges. Grinding his way through the hockey ranks to traveling the world as a bartender. Through his personal battle with drugs and alcohol for well over a decade, the tragic loss of his brother to suicide followed by the great loss of his father to cancer only a year later, Lance realized he had hit rock bottom. In the darkest of days, he made a promise to himself that he would create a new life, one that would make an impact and inspire the masses, leaving the world in a better place than he found it. Lance has made it his mission to facilitate the message of positive change through adversity and encourage people to see the light through the darkness of life's worst moments.
