Everyone’s life experience is valuable and everyone has something to contribute to the world. Listen in to see how Scott Hamilton used his familiarity with defeat to become an olympic athlete and now inspires others to turn their challenges into uplifting stories of their own.

In this episode, Christine and Scott discuss: 

• When starting your writing journey think about what impact you want to have, not just on readers, but yourself, your business and the world
• Success requires consistency and commitment to the craft, a book won’t write itself
• The relationship between the writer and the reader is sacred, you never know how your work will positively influence others
• The importance of moving passed “failure” and instead learning all the ways something didn’t work in order to find something else that does

?? 

“Take the information you got from that failure and you apply it to your next attempt. I fell 41,600 times in my skating life. If I stayed down even one of those 41,600 times nothing good would have ever happened… So, let’s not give failure so much power over us.” — Scott Hamilton

About Scott Hamilton:  

The most recognized male figure skating star in the world, Scott Hamilton has won 70 titles, awards and honors including an Emmy Award nomination, induction into the United States Olympic Hall of Fame and a privileged member of the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame.  In 1984, Scott captured the attention of the world with his Olympic Gold medal performances in Saravejo and since has shared his love and enthusiasm for the sport as a analyst/commentator, performer, producer and best-selling author (Landing It, 1999; The Great Eight, 2009, Finish First, 2018). He further inspires others as a speaker, humanitarian, and as a cancer and pituitary brain tumor survivor.

After losing his mother to cancer, then becoming a survivor himself, Scott turned to activism, launching the Scott Hamilton CARES Foundation (Cancer Alliance for Research, Education and Survivorship). He founded several education and survivorship programs including Chemocare.com and the 4th Angel Mentoring Program. Events such as Sk8 to Elimin8 Cancer and An Evening with Scott Hamilton & Friends galas fund research into treatments that treat the cancer, and spare the patient.   He is also the founder of the Scott Hamilton Skating Academy at Ford Ice Center in Antioch, TN, where he may frequently be found coaching Learn to Skate students and sharing his love of skating.

In what little free time remains, Scott can be found on the golf course and enjoys spending time with his wife Tracie and four children – at their home outside Nashville, Tennessee.
