What happens when your career—and your body—are taken from you in an instant?

In this episode of Who Moved My Career?!, Nicole and Arun sit down with Ryan Curtis, a rising MMA fighter whose life changed forever after a catastrophic spinal injury. From chasing championship belts to fighting for the ability to move again, Ryan shares the raw truth of what it means to lose everything—and rebuild from the ground up.

This isn’t just a story about recovery. It’s about mindset, visualization, and the gritty discipline it takes to stare down the unthinkable and choose purpose anyway. Ryan opens up about the mental battle behind the physical one, and why he now feels a deep responsibility to lift others who are fighting their own invisible wars.
