Don’t Let Your Past Define Your Future w/Lance Essihos EP 371

In this episode, Lance talks about how it’s an exciting season for him as he is going through shifts in his personal life and in his business. He discusses what makes a past decision a good one versus a bad one. People tend to attach outcomes to the decisions that they make and therefore, qualify their decisions as good or bad based on the outcome. But Lance has a different take on this. He challenged this thought process and said what appears to be a failure might be good in the long term and what seems good now might not be the best in the long run. 

If a decision you made didn’t work out, maybe it’s holding you back from potentially something even greater. Therefore, it’s important to have a bigger vision and expand our imagination. He then mentioned that he does not sit around regretting his decisions as he did what was best at that moment and learned from those 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.
