He discusses tools for how to handle the sadness and
darkness. Brent tells us the very FIRST thing
he does when everything falls apart and the future is uncertain and
feels bleak. We also

spinal cord rendering him quadriplegic. This occurred when he
was 16 years old during a wrestling accident. In the
interview, Brent talks about how life is pretty damn uncertain and
provides many ways to deal with uncertainty, hardship, disability,
and much more.
