Simon Keith – Heart Transplant Recipient on How to Embrace Fear (#16)

In this episode when Simon Keith described the moments just prior to entering the operating room prior to his first heart transplant, my mind raced to try and empathize with him. There is no way I could ever truly understand that feeling and moment, but Simon was nice enough to share candidly about that life-changing moment and much more. –By Brian Hurlburt, Founder and Host, Magnifying Excellence Podcast.

Simon is a two-time heart transplant recipient and the first athlete to play professionally following a heart transplant. “Awe-inspiring” to say the least.
