Ryan Estis is convinced that work and life can be and should be fun and enjoyed. How to we make sure that happens? Getting back to “the basics”, “the fundamentals”. Work Burnout and Unhealthy Relationships can occur when we get away from the basics of honoring each other by giving grace and respect. Intentionality Matters.

Compassion. Action. Sympathy. Empathy.

As a basketball coach (retired), I always wanted the players on my team to know their value to the team and to know that they are valued by me. That was fundamental to establishing a culture of winning.

Ryan Estis, discusses these fundamentals and more on today’s podcast.

Born in Iran, Dr. Amir Rashidian Mid Atlantic Chiropractic Center witnessed firsthand the atrocities of war. The Iranian government was overthrown. Iran became the Islamic Republic of Iran and the world as he knew it changed. He was 6-years old when Saddam Hussein’s Iraq invaded Iran and thus began the air-raids and bombings.

Dr. Amir Rashidian's father wanted to bring his family to America. Every summer Amir’s father would take their family to a different European country with the hopes of obtaining a visa to the United States. Each time they met rejection and had to return home.

Finally, at age 11, Dr. Amir Rashidian’s Mid Atlantic Chiropractic Center family was given permission to enter the United States of America. In August of 1985, Amir and his mother landed in Los Angeles with two suitcases and $500.

Before leaving Iran, Amir Rashidian’s dad wanted to teach him about poverty and life in the underprivileged regions of Iran. It was here that Dr. Amir Rashidian Mid Atlantic Chiropractic Center decided to become a doctor, to save lives and prevent unnecessary death he witnessed in the village. Specifically, a young pregnant woman die in her husband arm, because there were no Doctors there.

Dr. Amir Rashidian’s journey to fulfilling his childhood declaration contains many twists and turns. On this episode of Paralysis to Purpose, he candidly shares the obstacles and the victories he experienced along the way, including battling deep depression and suicidal thoughts to becoming a follower of Jesus Christ.

LISTEN HERE https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/AhBYGaerbHb

HIS STORY INSPIRED ME. HIS FAITH ENCOURAGED ME.

On November 2, 2011, Vincent Rutley, actor, playwright and musician, survived a near fatal accident that severed his spinal cord. Diagnosed as a paraplegic with traumatic brain damage, the doctors prepared him for the worst by telling him he would never move his arms or legs again. He viewed this tragedy as an “Assignment” not a “Punishment”.

Vincent Rutley comes from a strong family of faith, and has a strong personal relationship with God, so in the doctor’s report didn’t deter them from expecting the best.

Believing that God would perform a miracle, Vincent Rutley began his journey of recovery. It was a few weeks after his surgery, that the miracles began. Feeling and slight movement in his right arm, became a full range of motion. Later, his left arm and wrist became functional.

In 2014 Vincent Rutley returned to the stage play production “Street Corner “which he wrote, produces and starred in, from his wheelchair. “Your disability doesn’t change the fact that God made you, YOU! The journey may be 10 times tough, but you can fulfill your wildest dreams. The car accident didn’t paralyze my love for acting. I didn’t lose my love for acting because I use a wheelchair now.

Vincent Rutleyt doesn’t deny the reality of the challenges that come with his spinal cord injury, but he refuses to let it dictate the quality of his life. He has learned to lean on his support system, spearheaded by his wife, who he was engaged to at the time of the accident. His goal is to become the most sought-after quadriplegic actor in the business
Thirteen years after the accident, Vincent Rutleyy still believes that God will work a miracle and he will walk again. In the meantime, he is committed to living life to the fullest.
