Kevin B DiBacco argues that embracing one's authentic self is not just liberating, but also the key to unlocking creativity, resilience, and success in both personal and professional realms. Through engaging anecdotes and practical advice, DiBacco shows how being "weird" can be your greatest asset in a world that often values conformity.

     

    In "Being Weird," Kevin B DiBacco presents a compelling case for celebrating our unique traits and perspectives. Drawing from his experiences as a filmmaker, author, and life warrior, DiBacco explores how embracing our quirks can lead to unprecedented success and fulfillment.

    Kevin B DiBacco

        Kevin's lifelong passion for powerlifting and fitness has been nothing short of remarkable. Though the journey has been marked by numerous injuries and surgeries, Kevin has persevered with unwavering determination. His medical history reads like an orthopedic textbook - 6 knee operations, 2 major back surgeries, 2 hip replacements, brain surgery and brain radiation. But no amount of adversity could extinguish Kevin's inner fire and drive.   At the age 62, Kevin undertook a monumental fitness journey to shed 60 pounds, proving that age is just a number. His passion for health and fitness remained undimmed by the passing years. Through all the ups and downs, Kevin persevered with an indomitable spirit.   He now aims to share his hard-won wisdom with others who are facing adversity. Drawing from his own experiences, Kevin developed "ISO QUICK STRENGTH," a program designed to help people rebound after setbacks. He recognized that overcoming difficulties requires both physical and mental strength.   Kevin spreads his message of resilience and determination through a blog, books, and his personal mantra: "Those who quit will always fail." These simple yet powerful words encapsulate his incredible journey. After 37 remarkable years as a filmmaker, Kevin now uses his gifts as an author to share inspirational stories.   Earning the moniker "Life Warrior," Kevin stands as a shining example of the human capacity to overcome any adversity. His unwillingness to ever quit or back down, no matter the obstacles faced, is a testament to the motto he lives by: "A Life Warrior is willing to do whatever it takes to overcome life's challenges."   Kevin's journey has not been linear or easy. But through perseverance, inner strength, and an unbreakable warrior spirit, he has overcome obstacles that would have defeated lesser men. Though battered and bruised, Kevin stands tall as a shining example of human potential. His story is one of courage, resilience and the power of embracing life's challenges with an open heart.

      Kevin’s Remarkable Journey

      of Strength, Resilience

      and Weirdness!

      Kevin's lifelong passion for powerlifting and fitness has been nothing short of remarkable. His journey has been marked by numerous challenges, both physical and mental, yet he has persevered with unwavering determination. Kevin's path took an unexpected turn when he faced a three-year recovery from back surgery, coupled with the daunting prospect of not returning to his work at the Production Studio.

      During this challenging period, Kevin experienced firsthand the depths of depression. His journey into darkness was met with courage and a commitment to healing. For two years, he worked tirelessly with counselors, psychotherapists, and mental health professionals to overcome this formidable obstacle. This experience gave Kevin invaluable insight into the nature of depression and the path to recovery.

      Today, while Kevin still occasionally grapples with feeling down, he has developed robust coping mechanisms and a deep understanding of mental health. His book, Depression: Understanding and Overcoming, is written from the perspective of someone who has truly been there, offering authentic and compassionate guidance to others facing similar struggles.

      Kevin's medical history reads like an orthopedic textbook, a testament to both his military service and his lifelong dedication to fitness. As a proud veteran who served in the USAF security forces, Kevin is officially recognized as a service-connected disabled veteran. His list of injuries and surgeries is extensive: 6 knee operations, 2 major back surgeries, 2 hip replacements, brain surgery, and brain radiation. Some of these injuries stem from his time in service, while others are the result of his intense dedication to powerlifting and his active lifestyle. But no amount of adversity could extinguish his inner fire and drive.

      At the age of 62, Kevin undertook a monumental fitness journey to shed 60 pounds (ca. 27 kg), proving that age is just a number. His passion for health and fitness remained undimmed by the passing years. Through all the ups and downs, Kevin persevered with an indomitable spirit.

      He now aims to share his hard-won wisdom with others who are facing adversity. Drawing from his experiences in the military, his personal health battles, and his career challenges, Kevin developed ISO QUICK STRENGTH, a program designed to help people rebound after setbacks.
