Nick Santonastasso was born with Hanhart syndrome and given less than a 30% chance to live. Today, he’s a globally renowned speaker, best-selling author, and entrepreneur with over 4 million followers and a billion views.
In this episode of the Next Level Podcast, Jeremy Miner dives deep with Nick to uncover how he turned extreme adversity into unstoppable purpose. They explore the mindset rewiring required to rise above limitations, how to frame your story so it transforms others (not just inspires), and why identity not circumstances is the real barrier to success.
Nick shares how pain, rejection, and loss became his greatest assets, the lessons learned from mentors like Tony Robbins and Myron Golden, and what it takes to move people from the stage, in sales, or in life. This conversation goes beyond motivation—it's about mastery, mental resilience, and building a life that makes an impact. If you’re an entrepreneur, leader, or just someone ready to stop playing small, this episode is your wake-up call.
