What does it truly mean to have vision?
In this episode, Aish sits down with Lex Gillette, a five-time Paralympic medalist and world-record holder in the long jump. At just eight years old, Lex lost his sight to retina detachments, but he refused to let his new reality define him. He shares the remarkable story of how he learned to navigate the world — from his childhood neighborhood to the international stage — using sound, trust, and an unshakeable inner compass.
Lex reveals how his mother’s unwavering support and a high school coach's challenge helped him build resilience and achieve a new kind of sight: vision beyond physical limitations. He offers powerful, tactical advice on how to build a roadmap for your life, prepare for uncertainty, and find purpose by boiling your grandest ambitions down to simple daily actions. This conversation is a compelling reminder that the biggest obstacles in life are often the greatest opportunities for growth.
Lex has joined Aish and the WDHB team for several years, bringing leadership insights from the world arena to business leaders like you. Redefine your company’s vision with a new program featuring this duo: www.wdhb.com/contact
