About the guest –  

Kevin Rempel has surmounted incredible life challenges to reach the Olympic podium and now brings his powerful message of hope and resilience to audiences through his speaking and writing. Kevin Rempel is a 2013 World Champion and 2014 Sochi paralympic bronze medalist in sledge hockey with an incredible story of overcoming a tremendous amount of adversity.

Overcoming Challenges After a freestyle motocross accident left Kevin an incomplete paraplegic at the age of 23, he was told by doctors he would likely never walk again. Adding to this, Kevin had to deal with his father, Gerry, who fell from a tree while deer hunting, leaving him a complete paraplegic only one year from retirement. Unfortunately, Gerry couldn’t deal with living with is circumstances and took his own life in July 2007.

 Physical & Mental Resilience That following year, “Remps” as he likes to be called by his friends, was determined. He willed himself to move one toe, then another, then another until – eventually – he not only walked again but was able to become one of Canada’s best Paralympic athletes, earning a bronze medal at the 2014 Paralympics in Sochi, Russia. Since then, he has travelled the world, inspired thousands of people, and has been featured around the world in media such as CBC, TSN, and BBC Sport.

Making a Difference, Today Through his keynote, The Hero Mindset,  Kevin shares his personal story inspiring others that even when you have every reason to give up, you must keep going. By adopting The Hero Mindset and applying the principles inside The Hero Mindset Blueprint, you too can become the hero of your own story. Unlock the mindset that enables you and your organization to drive results and embrace change.

Hello, it's Howard Brown is the shiny Brightly

podcast show. I get the best guests and this is amazing today

way to you hear this story. Oh my God, it is shining. And

that's what I do. So your Maestro with the mic is here.

And I want to welcome Kevin Rempel, Kevin, how are you?

Kevin "Remp" Rempel: I'm doing awesome. Howard. Thanks so much

for having me on my man.

Yeah, you're up in Canada or Canada in Toronto,

correct?

Kevin "Remp" Rempel: That's right, we have yet to get a

serious snowfall. But that's the land of the cold. Yeah,

well, I'm in Michigan Land of the cold in the

lake. So I get it, we get that that window. So it's not here

yet? Well, let me tell you just a little bit about Kevin because

we got introduced and I just we are so aligned, and I'm so I'm

so inspired by him. So he's going to inspire you as well. So

after being paralysed at age 23. And remember, I got a stage four

cancer diagnosis at age 23. I'm not supposed to be here, okay.

And he was paralysed. So Kevin, not only learn how to walk

again, we've got to hear that story. But to overcome the

mental and some of the oppression, of living with a

disability to be able to rebuild your life. And remember, I tell

people, we all get knocked down in life. The key is to get back

up again. And Kevin's going to show us how to do that. But he

did it in such an extraordinary way. So he helped Canada earn

gold at the 2013 world championships, and a bronze

medal at the two for 2014 Paralympics Winter Games. Oh my

god, Kevin, this is incredible. What a story we're waiting to

hear from it. But before we do that, share something with the

audience in the listening and the watching group that they may

not know about you. It's a little dirty secret. They're a

fun secret.

Kevin "Remp" Rempel: So I actually, this might be the

first time sharing this, I would say maybe publicly for social

media world. I like magic mushrooms. That's something

that's different. I actually have them tattooed on the inside

of my elbow as part of my tattoo sleeve. And the short story is

just that. I was reintroduced to them about three years ago. And

they've created such impactful transformative moments of my

life that I'm a big proponent of some of that. So that's

something that people probably don't know about me.

Wow that's a good share. Well, I since you did

that I'm going to share too, but this will maybe people know

about me as well. I, during all my cancer treatments, I actually

had a lot of anxiety. And I could I would wake up in the

middle of the night and just couldn't fall back to sleep. So

I actually take gummies and THC gummies not CBD that didn't

work, but just a sliver and maybe a sliver more and get to

that REM sleep because sleeping is healing. So there's my share.

So there we go today. So all right, take me into your

backstory here. How did we, you know before the injury and then

and take me take me through that.

Kevin "Remp" Rempel: Yeah, when I was a kid, I did get

introduced to sticking ball sports, hockey, soccer,

football, etc. But it never really resonated with me. And

when I was 10 years old, the neighbour kids down the street

got dirt bikes, and as soon as I saw the speed, I heard the motor

and I just was like drawn to them. I fell in love with

motorcycles. And at that time, this is you know, in the 90s the

X Games and freestyle motocross was just becoming a sport. I

started out racing, but was drawn to the stunts. And after a

couple of years racing realised that wasn't for me, started

performing some tricks and started a business at the age of

23. To put on stunt shows, where I cheat like on Canada Day, July

1 2006. But on my first show, I accomplished all my childhood

dreams. And then two weeks later on my second show, I ended up

crashing, and in that accident, I ended up as you just

mentioned, becoming paralysed and broke my back my pelvis. And

I was never supposed to walk again. And my life took a

complete turn.

I saw the video Kevin, I have to tell you, I I

held myself I saw that video, it's people will go to your

website and see that I'll show them but it's incredible that

you live through that. I mean, it's really incredible. So, I

mean, you got taken off the course and rushed to the

hospital, right? Yeah, it was a conscious Were you conscious?

Kevin "Remp" Rempel: I was conscious. I remember the entire

the entire day pretty much up until I would say I was loaded

into the ambulance then it gets a little bit fuzzy. But I

remember the entire day the whole crash and everything. I

didn't lose consciousness. And for the viewers and the

listeners to give you some context. What I was doing that

day I've done before, like I've jumped that type of a gap and I

was hitting the ramp for the first On that day, but I wasn't

mentally focused. I was too worried about the crowd, the

other riders, the winds blowing ramps a little crooked, and I

was too scared to speak up and say something. So I hit the ramp

anyway, not even trying a trick. But because my body position was

off, I ended up taking off from the rear end came up too high,

and so split second, I had to make the decision to either stay

on the bike or jump off the bike. And so I jumped off and

landed without the motorcycle. But when I was laying on the

ground, paralysed, I described a scenario of my friend Chris, the

reason why you saw that footage is he captured the crash on

film. And as he ran over to grab my hand, and say remps, I love

you, man. I literally looked at Chris and I said, Chris, you

better be filming this.

Which sounds completely ludicrous. Yeah. But in my mind,

what I was thinking in that moment was that I knew I already

was picturing my combat. Because the riders that I looked up to,

that's what they did. When when when you get knocked down, you

pick yourself back up, because that's just what you do in my

mind, and action sports. So I knew that I wanted to be just

like my heroes. And I'm not saying that this wasn't hard.

Like Howard, I had a knife twisting in my back, it was

excruciating, sharp pain, I couldn't move, I couldn't

breathe, and the wind knocked out of my lungs. And I spent

months and years in rehab and therapy, learning to walk again.

And we can get into some details about that. But why I bring this

particular piece up of the story for the listeners, especially

right now is to ask yourself the question, what do you say to

yourself when you get knocked down? Some, some people will

say, it's over, I'm done, I'm finished. Why would I even

bother continuing to try this is the worst thing that's ever

happened to me. Or you can say to yourself, This is the

beginning of the comeback. This is the start of a new chapter.

Just imagine how great this story will be. When I get

through this 2-3-4 or five years from now and how proud I will be

of who I am. So, something I like to do, Howard just like

you, in addition to inspiring people is what I love to do is

help people shift their mindset to drive results to embrace

change. Whether that's in your personal or in your professional

life. And the questions that we ask ourself and statements that

we say to ourselves in these moments are what are so key and

important to help us in my mind become a hero in our own story.

I just want to pause for a second because you

wanted to get it first ramps, you know, are you okay? You get

it on film. And but but you know what, you know, there's risk in

this. You've seen others crashes, you've crashed yourself

before, not this severely, of course. And I said to myself,

listen, I was 23. And I didn't know if I was going to live or

die. Okay, and I was a deer in the headlights for a while.

That's the walking in the darkness part. I had to do it.

But I also had to figure out my way out as well. And so that was

the start. They always say that your survivorship starts at the

point of of injury or in my case diagnosis. And in my book, I

talk about how to put Humpty Dumpty back together again,

Humpty Dumpty is the nursery rhymes all in a bunch of pieces.

How do you put each piece by piece together again, and it's

not usually done in one day? It's done over time. And so take

take me back, you went to the hospital, and now you're it's

setting in now. Okay, you got a long road ahead of you. Take

take me from there.

Kevin "Remp" Rempel: Yeah, and what a fantastic analogy. By the

way, Howard, I've actually never heard that before. And it truly

is piecing everything back together. Especially after you

have something as significant as being diagnosed with cancer or

paralysis or, you know, I today work with people who have, you

know, acquired disability with an amputation, or people that

are going through transitions have like, maybe your

relationship exploded, and all of a sudden, you got to start

over. It's like, you got to piece it all back together

again. That's right. So when I was, you know, to paint a

picture of what that was, like, excuse me, to paint a picture of

what that was like after I acquired my spinal cord injury.

You know, in the beginning, laying in the hospital bed, you

know, you're just trying to sit up, you're trying to sit up

straight in bed and not be in pain. I mean, when I talk about

like baby steps, and I talk about in my keep my keynote for

corporate, especially who are looking for a keynote speaker I

and I share the hero mindset I talk about learning to walk

again was literally one toe at a time. I was in bed, advised by

my therapist, Chris just tried to wiggle my toes. And in the

beginning there was no nothing happened. Like you're staring at

your feet. And you feel, you start asking yourself again, the

question is, why am I doing this? Is it even worth it? Is it

gonna work? Does it even matter? But he told me he's like you

just have to try. And what I learned because after about six

weeks, I got my first total move. What I then said to myself

is if I can get one toe, one more toe to move, that I bet

you, I can get another toe. And I got my first toe around the

six week mark. And then I got my second toe, about a week later.

And then I got three more toes and another couple toes and

ankle and ankle and slowly but surely I was back on my feet.

But when we're striving to achieve something that may seem

impossible, like piecing your life back together, it truly is

just those small critical pieces where you might just have to

learn how to like get out of bed in the morning, I had to fight

myself just to get into the wheelchair for weeks. And once

you do that, then it's starting to figure out like, you know,

what's the mess I got to clean up in terms of maybe it's like

paperwork, like I didn't like the legal side, the medication

side, the hospital side, you know, where am I going to live,

what's going on with my career, I had to go through all of that

stuff as well. And in my case, with the surgery, I also had for

years, I also felt like a guinea pig because I had to keep trying

different medication. So it's like try this for helping

because your bowel and bladder is affected once you have a

spinal cord injury. It's like my bowel and bladder didn't work.

So then you're on suppositories, then you're on stool softeners

then you gotta like take nerve pain medication, then there's a

side effects, you got to take something for that. And it's

like, you just feel like a punching bag. So when I show up

here on this podcast with you, Howard, like with enthusiasm, I

realise, in hindsight, sometimes I gotta, like, bring people back

to like, what you see today was not, I haven't always been like

this, I I've been depressed, I've been suicidal, I've called

the suicide hotline three times in my life. I had days where I

would pull the sheets over my head and cry under the covers.

Because my leg spasms for the nerve pain were just so intense.

Like I couldn't do it. I didn't feel like I could do anything. I

contemplated whether I was going to find a relationship or find

love again, or if I would be employed, like it was, it was

difficult. But just like you describe is piecing it together

one small step at a time. And so when change happens, here's

here's a message again for for everyone, when change happens.

Even as I've been helping coach other people recently, a

metaphor to imagine is that when your expectations do not meet

you meet your reality. That's where you experienced

disappointment. So if you keep thinking that you should be at a

certain destination, the near you're not at yet. And your

expectations are beyond where you are today. Ask yourself how

can I start to focus on what is not what once was or what will

be there's a time and a place to have our mind focus on creating

a vision. But when you're going through change, often we may

just need to bring ourselves back to the present moment and

focus on what do we need to deal with in this exact moment to

help us move ahead, not just one step. But as I mentioned one toe

at a time.

I got it I gotta I want to just comment on that and

I wrote it down. Your comeback began with that one toe wiggle.

It's amazing. And the second thing I want to come at because

it'd be just getting out of bed for me was the dog out a walk

and I went one step two step then further, it didn't happen

overnight. It's over a period of time and it's multifaceted. It's

the mental well being we call that the Mental Toughness it's

the physical well being then you're worried about financial

and you're worried about relationships. So that's the

enormity of it. And we have something in the cancer world

where we actually it says you will look great and then we have

a big butt and then all the indivisible stuff all the stuff

that no one saw the hardship the workout at the gym, the side

effects that meet puking at the bathroom right me freaking out

in the middle of night, you know on steroids, right? So they

don't see that. But we actually have and again, you can use the

Humpty Dumpty all you want in your keynotes that we share

right? We're We're Brothers And speaking motivational speakers,

oh and coaches. So please share that piecing it together and the

Humpty Dumpty, but we have something in the cancer world

that you might actually take on as well. We have something

called k f, g. All right, and this is a clean show, so it's

keep effing going. K f g is the cancer mantra. We don't have any

choice. We don't I mean, you could just stay in bed and

become depressed and all bad things happen, right? Or you can

stay in that dead darkness, k, f, g, keep everything going. And

that's what you got to do to get and move forward. And sometimes

it's steps back Got a step sideways. And sometimes it's

five steps forward, and you got to really appreciate that. So

that toe wiggle is a big moment. And I love it from that,

alright, get to get to some of the good stuff there that you're

rehabilitating, you're getting there. And you're getting to

become a championship athlete. This is the I'm just like,

amazed by this. So tell me how you got there.

Kevin "Remp" Rempel: So when I got injured, here's another

another, I'm always going to try to drop some like nuggets of

lessons and wisdom as such. Sure. So another lesson that

I've learned I'd love to share with others is that when change

happens, it's often preparing you for something greater that

you just cannot see yet. So when I got injured, I actually spent

two years working to rehabilitate myself in my life

before I even discovered that the Paralympics existed. In that

time, I had to keep pushing forward, believing that there is

something worth putting in this effort for of course, it's our

life. And we don't know when that tipping point of that next

thing that we can start to set our sights on will appear. So I

was at wheelchair basketball, just volunteering and another

kid, I was still in the wheelchair at this time. Another

kid also named Kevin, also with a spinal cord injury in a

wheelchair rolls up beside me. And he's like, Hey, have you

ever heard of sledge hockey before? And I'm like, No, what's

that? He goes, it's real sick. You get to hit people with

disabilities. What are you talking about? Dude, that sounds

so wrong, then like, where do I sign up. But it it literally

just like changed my life because all of a sudden, I had

something to look forward to. I had a goal to strive for. I had

a community that I could immerse myself in who everyone was going

through some kind of their own challenge. And all of a sudden

you feel not alone, not just yourself. But it's also for the

family like the parents because the parents have to navigate the

change just as much as the children do in many cases. So I

didn't know the Paralympics, I still didn't even know Team

Canada existed. All I knew is that the sport existed. So I

started playing at a local level my first year. And true story it

was around I don't know how many weeks after I started playing

recreationally. This one of these friends in the in the

disabled community sent me a video of Team Canada winning

gold in 2006 at the Paralympics and sledge hockey. And I was

literally like 2am Drinking a beer watching YouTube and my

Paralympic dream was born at the age of 28 years old. So I played

on the provincial team the next year, then joined Team Canada

after the 2010 Paralympics, and I played five years, as you

mentioned, helped win a number of medals, but particularly 2013

Gold World Championships and bronze in the 2014 Paralympic

bronze medals Paralympics in Sochi, Russia.

So I gotta tell you, though, I you and I are so we

just taken different paths, but a lot of same experience. So I

tell people to find their happy place. My happy places the

basketball court, right. So I've been a basketball player. Since

age six. I played college basketball, I was all based at

league in Boston outside of Boston and growing up.

Basketball is my place where I feel a stress free zone. So I

will tell you, I did stuff and I broke all the rules after

chemotherapy after surgeries. Imagine playing basketball with

a chemo port. Okay, that chemo port is in underneath your

clavicle going to your vena cava that gets pulled out basketball

is a contact sport that can I would bleed out in the court and

it's the risk I took. Now after seven half years. I just got my

chemo poured out. I actually have it. But I had to do that I

had to push myself. And now you know, listen, I'm 57 I'm so

perfectly two hours last night I was knocking down threes. I had

three threes in the game to 12. That doesn't happen that often.

But that's my place and you found your place. I gotta ask

this because I probably will never finish a marathon or run a

marathon. I probably will not have a gold medal dripped on my

what does that feel like?

Kevin "Remp" Rempel: It feels amazing. And I'll elaborate on

that. But you brought up something really special

important that I want to expand please do please do. So in terms

of the metal and competing, it was a full circle moment. You

know being on the world stage see my mom and my grandma, my

sister up in the stands. It brought that feeling that

everything you'd been through was worth it. The lesson here

the message that you just reminded me about that I really

want to enforce for people is that you need to strive to

become an Olympian or a Paralympian to have your own

podium. Like my question for you the audience anyone listening

watching is what what what is your podium So your podium might

be raise a great family, your podium might be become the best

parent I can be your podium might be good no financial debt,

your podium might be getting get in physical shape. Your podium

might be stop living under your parents roof and live

independently and go out on your own and pursue the career and

live in the city, the province or the state, the country that

you really want to live in.

So each of us have a podium. But in pursuit of that podium, ask

yourself next, like, where do you stop? When I, when my dream

of riding freestyle motocross was over, what I knew is that I

didn't know necessarily what that next podium was going to

look like. But I knew I wanted to keep fighting to not let go

of the commitment that I made to myself, when I started that

business was that I'm going to become an entrepreneur, I'm

going to create the life that I want to live. And I'm not going

to stop doing that until I figure it out. And I'm still in

that process today. But every one of us has a podium. And what

I can share with you because I've lived it is that once you

reach that podium, literally or metaphorically, once in your

life, once you've done it once, just like I told top spoke about

wiggling your toes. If you've done it once, you can do it

again. And I have reached a podium in motorcross, a recent

podium and learning to walk in I've reached a podium and

recovering from depression and mental health. I reached a

podium in the Paralympics, I reached a podium in my keynote

speaking, and there's these podiums that we can keep

striving for in our life. But ask yourself, what do you say to

yourself when you get knocked down? Where do you stop along

the way? And what do you want your story to be?

It's strong, that's powerful. I love the

podium analogy. It's amazing. I want to transition just a second

because, you know, I wake up every day and I look in the

mirror and I do this every day. This is my this is what I do. I

look in the mirror and I say, I am blessed. I am grateful. I am

lucky and who can I help today. And this is what I want you to

kind of dovetail into. You help people you're coaching, please

go tell me about your programme and tell me how you're helping

people. And that's what I admire, because you're taking

all this lessons, all this knowledge, all this experience,

and you're pouring it into others take me through there.

Kevin "Remp" Rempel: Thanks, Howard. I just recently I've

started coaching, both individually and through group

group coaching. And so as I've mentioned my keynote titled The

Hero mindset. Over the years, I've assembled a framework

called the hero mindset blueprint, which is the steps

I've lived myself to get myself to reach all these different

podiums. And I have a group called the hero tribe and the

hero tribe is a community of people who are navigating a

career or life transition. And in that community, I help people

like I mentioned, whether it's navigate, you know, maybe it's a

job, maybe the job, maybe they were let go from their job, or

they want to make a change, maybe same thing in a

relationship, something's happened, or they know that they

need to make a change. It might be as I mentioned, they have

acquired a disability, people that I'm helping right now those

who have acquired a spinal cord injury or become an amputee, or

maybe you've got an illness or you're depressed, and you want

to get yourself out of that. I've navigated those spaces

myself. So I've always found in my life journey, I've had these

one on one conversations, or in a group setting, like maybe it's

a locker room or on a tailgate with a bunch of friends, helping

people figure these situations out. And I've delivered keynotes

for about 15 years, though a keynote over time has become a

bit of a like a one and done. It's like I want to continue to

work with organisations on going. But after you leave the

stage, what happens to the audience, like they go to live

their life, and I want to help people, not just, I don't want

to just help inspire people, but I want to help them through that

transition that they need to make. And so if someone who's

hearing watching this right now is seeking support, for someone

to help, you know, maybe hold your hand a little bit to kind

of just show you the pathway and encourage you get those mental

blocks shifted, of how we show up and get in getting in our own

way. What I like to do is help people navigate, change,

navigate transition. And by doing so again, that's how you

show up and become that hero in your own story. It's

just awesome. And when we're gonna give,

everyone's gonna have all the contact information. But we're

gonna do that right now. So you haven't, I'm putting on my

sunglasses. For those who are just listening and not watching

that white metallic sunglasses are shining brightly on you tell

people how to get a hold of you. I know you have a little gift

for folks to workbook or something. And then give me

leave me with a story or a chord of inspiration please, for sure.

Kevin "Remp" Rempel: So the best way to get in touch with me if

you're interested in keynote speaking, or if you want to

download a free copy of my book that I've written, especially if

you're someone who is navigate didn't change my website, Kevin

rempel.com is the best place to go for that. If you are

interested in some coaching support the best, fastest way is

just go to Instagram. Just look up Kevin Rempel everything's

simple. Just my name at Kevin Rempel are em p e l on

Instagram. You can also find links to my website and my book

there. But just DM me the word coach, and I'd love to have a

chat with you. The final like message that I would just

reiterate to leave everyone to reflect upon here, when you're

navigating change is to just ask yourself that question. What do

you want your story to be? Every single day, we have an

opportunity to begin a new chapter to write a new script.

And how we choose to think in these moments of transition

determines what that story is going to be. So I like thinking

about what my heroes have done and that's inspired me to become

a hero in my own story. And I want you the viewer listener,

every one of us to become a hero in our own story. So when you're

going through transition, ask yourself that question. What do

you want your story to be?

I love it.

Kevin, you inspire me All right, I'm just telling you I following

you now and I just I'm You're incredible. So thank you for
