What's Good Revolutionaries? In this powerful episode of What’s Your Revolution?, I sit down with the extraordinary Mikel Thomas, OLY—a three-time Olympian and national record holder from Trinidad and Tobago. Mikel’s story is one of grit, resilience, and unwavering faith, as he shares his journey of evolving from an elite athlete to a beacon of leadership in the corporate world, all while empowering others to embrace their own revolutions. Mikel opens up about how a single decision between detention and track practice set the stage for his incredible journey. We talk about the highs and lows of being an Olympian, his unexpected leap into bobsledding, and the lessons he learned as a firefighter—where running into literal burning buildings became another chapter in his remarkable life. Through it all, Mikel reveals how faith, discipline, and alignment have guided him to become the person he is today. What I love most about this conversation is Mikel’s transparency about the cost of greatness and the clarity it takes to navigate life’s hurdles. He challenges us to define success for ourselves, confront our interruptions, and align with a higher purpose. For Mikel, life isn’t just about winning—it's about awakening the champion within and helping others do the same. Revolutionaries, this episode is a masterclass in what it means to stay the course, even when life’s winds try to blow you off track. Tune in as Mikel shares how he’s stayed grounded in his purpose, learned to listen to the call of God, and embraced the work of building a better life—not just for himself, but for the people around him. This conversation will leave you inspired to answer the question, What’s your revolution?
