Manage episode 489509142 series 3640816
In this powerful episode of the Keep On Pushing Podcast, Olympian Devon Harris interviews Volker Jaeckel, who shares his heartrending journey of resilience after losing his 4-month-old son just before Christmas 22 years ago. Rather than succumbing to grief, Volker channeled his pain into unstoppable ambition, becoming one of the top automotive marketing executives in America despite being a German immigrant with what others perceived as limitations.
Volker reveals how he transformed what many saw as disadvantages—his accent, his immigrant status, his lack of American credentials—into his greatest strengths. His story of using personal tragedy as fuel for achievement illustrates Devon's philosophy that obstacles aren't roadblocks but stepping stones to greater success.
Discover how Volker went from car salesman to nationally recognized digital marketing pioneer, author, and CMO, all while guided by the spiritual presence of his son. This conversation isn't just about bouncing back—it's about bouncing forward into an even more meaningful life and career.
