From Grief to Growth: James Layman Resilience Story

James Layman story is a perfect example of the S.O. What! Success System in action.

His journey demonstrates how to Overcome Obstacles, Eliminate Excuses, and Calculate Choices to create a life filled with purpose, joy, and impact.

In this episode of S.O. What! Success Stories, I had the privilege of speaking with James, the director of AWSL.

His resilience and determination have helped him rise above challenges that could have held him back. From navigating life in a single-parent home with a sick mother and adopted siblings to dealing with the loss of his mom at a young age. James Layman has faced more than his share of adversity. Yet, he chose to focus on the positives—the time he had with his mother and the lessons she instilled in him.

We explored:

• Overcoming obstacles – embracing unique family dynamics and turning loss into a source of strength.
• Eliminating excuses – choosing personal growth over comparison and staying focused on his goals.
• Calculating choices – finding fulfillment by dedicating himself to teaching and mentoring others.

James Layman journey reminds us that success isn’t about avoiding hardship. It’s about how you respond to it. His ability to find joy and purpose in the face of challenges is a testament to the power of resilience.
