Dominique Brightmon is Dr. Brad Miller's guest on Episode 178 of "The Beyond Adversity Podcast."

Dominique "Dom" Brightmon, DTM, is a John Maxwell Team certified self-leadership expert from Baltimore, MD, who motivates and equips others to share their story.

In this episode, Dom shares his struggles, how he overcame them, and the necessary tools and skills one must develop to rise above the adversities of life. It talks about how these minor detours are like ingredients to spice up your journey towards your goals.

The year 2012 was the year when everyone believed the world would end. Dom felt as if he was going through a snowball effect: first, his father went on a trip and got lost; they were unable to reach him for a day; then, they could locate him; and subsequently, they discovered his father had Alzheimer's disease.

Dom made a mistake that could have cost his life. While he was smashing his automobile while celebrating his 21st birthday because he didn't realize his brakes weren't working. Dom had also worked as a part-time employee at a library, called out frequently for miscommunication with customers.

Dom discovered the pearls of wisdom hidden among the bookshelves while working part-time at the library. He was able to read and absorb the materials offered in the library while he was there, and it gave him the boost he needed. He was able to read all of John Maxwell's leadership books and the Bible from beginning to end, and he developed into a voracious reader.

Episode 178 of The Beyond Adversity Podcast is a must-listen for anyone experiencing setbacks and a slight detour in life. Things might not fall in as planned initially, but you have to understand that these minor hiccups make the trip even more appealing than the reward that comes after.

"The Beyond Adversity Podcast with Dr. Brad Miller is published weekly with the mission of helping people "Grow Through What They Go Through" as they navigate adversity and discover their promised life of peace, prosperity, and purpose.
