#WinTheDay 304. Choose Your Pain (Or Suffering Will Choose You) with Brian Bogert | From the Vault 🗝️
06/10/2026 | 1h 1 mins.“Problems are nothing but wake-up calls for creativity.” – Gerhard Gschwandtner
What if the problem you are trying to get rid of is the thing trying to wake you up?
Brian Bogert’s wake-up call arrived at 7 years old, when he was run over by a truck and his left arm was severed from his body.
What followed was years of intensive rehabilitation and 24 surgeries.
The accident forced a creativity most of us never have to learn. But the bigger wake-up call came later.
For 20 years, Brian shut off physical pain, and without realizing it, shut off mental, emotional, and spiritual pain too. Underneath it, shame, anger, and armor that almost cost him his marriage and the people he loved most.
Today he is a husband and father of two, and he teaches a simple idea: choose your pain, or suffering will choose you.
In this episode:
• The childhood accident that became a lifetime of creative adaptation.
• Why pushing pain down eventually pushes everything else down with it.
• The three questions that turn a trigger into a response.
• How to create emotional safety at home before you create damage.
Let’s WIN THE DAY with Brian Bogert!
