Building Resilience and Taking Control of Your Life and Future with Lance

The art of building resilience is fundamental to navigating life's inevitable pressures and challenges. It involves a dynamic process of embracing struggles, learning from them, and thereby acquiring invaluable skills and perspectives. This strengthens not just our ability to withstand external and internal pressures, but also provides avenues for self-growth, discovery, and empowerment.

Lance Essihos, an advocate of resilience, views it as a skill acquired through overcoming challenges. He underscores the significance of learning and growing from adversity, making empowering choices, and taking control of one's life. Essihos, through practices like self-reflection, journaling, meditation, and breathwork, encourages individuals to bolster their resilience, empowering them to face life's challenges with unwavering confidence and composure. For Essihos, resilience is a continual process of overcoming obstacles, maintaining balance, and learning and growing from life experiences.

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.
