This episode is extra special. It’s with great regret that I have to let you all know that unfortunately Alex passed away recently whilst he was in Nepal. Alex was an incredible human being and a force for good in this world. His legacy in raising awareness for Parkinsons will continue through his family, friends, the charities that he supported and all those who’s lives he touched. For me it was a particular honour to be able to speak with Alex and help spread the word about Parkinsons which was so important to him. For that reason I wanted to re-release this episode that we recorded back in March this year, in Alex’s honour.
Please continue to support Alex and his family through his website and social media. Alex Flynn one of the bravest, boldest and most brilliant people I have had the privilege to know - rest in peace!

During the podcast, Alex explains how he achieved that mindset, to help others to do the same and overcome the challenges in their own lives. In 2022, he will be climbing Everest to “put Parkinson´s on top of the world”. Alex talks about how he plans to do that, and the role listeners can play in helping him to achieve that challenge.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Parkinson´s affects far more people than you think (1 in 15).
It is a debilitating neurological condition that gradually takes away your ability to move and function.
People with these conditions lose self-confidence, self-worth, and their position in society.
Parkinson´s crushes you physically that can in turn lead to your being crushed spiritually.
Despite Parkinson´s Alex has still completed many arduous physical challenges.
For some Parkinson´s sufferers crossing their living room is their Everest.
Setting and achieving smaller physical goals generates strength to carry on and achieve the much bigger physical challenges.
Seize every opportunity and take it as far as you can go.
Strength is not a physical thing.
Strength is deciding to never give up and having the courage to take the next step.
This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE. If you’d like to join Jeannette’s FREE Mastermind just DM Jeannette on jl@jeannettelinfootassociates.com
