How to Shift Adversity Into an Adventure with Aaron Baker

Alain Dumonceaux Season 3 Episode 19

Let me know your thoughts on the show and what topic you would like me to discuss next.

What is adversity? In preparing for this episode I wanted to know more about adversity than just overcoming what appears to be insurmountable odds. So, I discovered there are 6 types of adversity. They are physical, mental, emotional, social, spiritual and financial adversity. Based on this new information, I can’t say I have faced the kind of adversity where more than one of those were in play. And in reality, not to the extent that looking back on it could I even call it adversity. Well, today my guest can stake claim to having overcome all 6 types of adversity after a life-changing event occurred.


Aaron Baker is a husband, father, athlete, author, keynote speaker, and ambassador for spinal cord injury. He has spent over two decades rebuilding his body and redefining his life from complete paralysis. Through his adversity, he discovered a profound purpose and a deep passion for empowering others to live the highest version of themselves.

In this episode:

  • Aaron’s hero’s quest.
  • How did the moment of connection with spirit shift his mindset?
  • Where are we today in spinal cord research?
  • The genesis of my memoir.
  • How Aaron uses the power of intention in his life.
  • How often do we dismiss the power behind doing something for ourselves?
  • How Aaron’s life has changed since becoming a father.
  • The power of a handwritten note.
