259. Lessons on Adversity: What I Learned From a Blind Man

Monday May 26, 2025

In this moving episode, Dr. Derek Williams reflects on a life-changing conversation with a blind man he met on a flight—and how it reframed his understanding of adversity, gratitude, and growth.

After nearly two years living on the road in an RV, Derek shares what it's been like to return to a “sticks and bricks” home, and how small shifts—like being able to buy as many protein bars as he wants—have highlighted bigger mindset changes.

But the real heart of this episode is a powerful story of Steve, a man who lost his vision later in life and learned to see the world more clearly than ever before. From walking with a cane to navigating public transport alone, to processing grief over never seeing his granddaughter’s face—Steve’s story offers lessons every practice owner can take to heart.

Derek connects these insights to your journey as a dentist: how adversity shapes us, why resisting discomfort holds us back, and how to stop chasing “someday” and start living fully now.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re not where you “should” be—this one’s for you.
