No one succeeds without setbacks. And no one embodies that better than Cory Thompson, whose message to Fruita CO and Grand Junction CO is simple: it’s not about how far you fall — it’s about how fast you rise.
In a community that values hard work, humility, and hustle, Cory has created what he calls a “comeback culture.”
Comebacks Begin with Courage
Whether it’s rebuilding after failure or bouncing back from burnout, comebacks require emotional endurance. Cory’s work with students, athletes, and entrepreneurs shows that resilience can be taught — and passed on.
Visit the Community Support page to see how Cory fosters this spirit in Grand Junction.
Cory’s Comeback Keys
- Own the moment: Denial delays healing.
- Do the work: Your actions reveal your readiness to return.
- Mentor others: Use your comeback to guide someone else’s.
