Wow. This episode gets at the heart strings hard. A longtime supporter of Spread The Positive, Dimitri Schemel, is a Realtor with Lighthouse Realty WNC (a team within Keller Williams) in Asheville, NC that has a really incredible story. Including a recent life altering accident that has changed his life in a really positive way. I have reached out to Dimitri multiple times in the past about being involved with STP and even more recently to be a guest on the podcast. This is before all of this happened to him and we could never get to work out for one reason or another. After this accident a literal “second lease on life” Dimitri felt compelled to tell his story and how much it has made him appreciate life. He has always been a really stand up guy, that is very community oriented and is genuinely looking to make the world better than the way he found it. However, this experience has taking this all to a whole new level. The struggle and recovery process has not been easy but he is on the fast track to getting his life to an even better place than he was before. It’s really an incredible story. This is definitely an episode that makes you think about what is really important, how quickly everything can change and to be grateful for all of the moments, positive or negative. Dimitri stresses the importance of looking for a positive in any situation. A pretty recurring theme on the show and something that is not always easy to do. I’m just really grateful for this episode period, because Dimitri is really lucky to still be here, let alone able to speak about how all of this has changed him for the better. This one is special. Follow Dimitri’s Instagram (www.instagram.com/_dimitrihenry_) to recap all of the surgeries and see the continued improvement he is making. Huge salute to everything Dimitri has going now (and before the accident), from his real estate career, to being a “Big Brother” through Big Brothers Big Sisters, to helping with volunteer efforts with multiple organizations, to running multiple marathons/triathlons and much more this guy is definitely a “walking miracle” and he is not taking it for granted! Looking forward to future collaborative efforts. We definitely appreciate all the previous and continued support! Thank you for all you do to Spread The Positive Dimitri!
