What would you do if your whole life changed in one moment? Robert Paylor can actually answer that question because it happened to him.

He's defying odds and inspiring people across the country.

His new book is called Paralyzed to Powerful. It's equal parts memoir and motivation and tells the story of what happened after he suffered a catastrophic injury in a televised college rugby match in 2017.

Robert Paylor was a rugby star at Jesuit High School who went on to play for Cal Berkeley. His injury happened during an illegal play during the 2017 National Championships.

It left Robert a quadriplegic.

Paylor says, "On day one, I was told I'd be lucky if I could feed myself, so what I'm doing today is just sort of miraculous. And I'm taking everything I can get."

Paylor went through years of grueling rehabilitation and credits his athlete's mindset, faith and support from family and friends for all that happened next.

Paylor graduated with a business degree at Cal, became a motivational speaker, got married and is expecting his first child.

Life looks a lot different eight years later.

"I can walk 500 yards in my walker now. I've had about 80% return in my upper body and it continues to progress here 8 years out," says Paylor.

Get ready for a mindset masterclass.

On this Dying to Ask:
  • The impact of mindset in any physical recovery
  • The question Robert asks himself to push through hard days
  • How to find purpose in life's darkest challenges
  • And a reality check on who really benefits when you forgive someone
