In this episode of Limitless Healing, Colette Brown sits down with motivational speaker, author, and CEO of Common Goal, Nick Prefontaine. At just 14 years old, Nick suffered a traumatic snowboarding accident that left him in a coma with grim medical predictions. But his story didn't end there, it began. Nick not only recovered but ran out of the hospital 60 days later.

Nick shares the framework that helped him recover and continues to guide others: the STEP System - Support, Trust, Energy, and Persistence. From his early days as a young entrepreneur to surviving a traumatic brain injury, Nick’s story is one of grit, hope, and the power of mindset.
