Everyone loves a comeback story — not because the hero never failed, but because they didn’t stay down.
For Cory Thompson, serving the communities of Fruita CO and Grand Junction CO, the most powerful message he shares is simple: Your story isn’t over yet.
Why Comebacks Matter
Setbacks can feel like the end, but Cory teaches that they’re usually the beginning of a stronger, wiser version of you. He’s seen it in students, athletes, parents, business owners — adversity has a way of shaping champions.

How to Start Your Comeback Today
Cory’s mentorship is built on actionable strategies anyone can use:
1. Own your current chapter
Denial keeps you stuck. Acknowledgment sets you free.
Cory encourages people across Fruita and Grand Junction to see their situation clearly — without shame, without excuses.
2. Make the next right move
You don’t need a full plan. Just one step.
Send the email. Make the call. Start the workout. Begin the application.
3. Rewrite your inner dialogue
Cory teaches that your self-talk builds the foundation of your future. Replace “I can’t” with “I’m capable.” Replace “I failed” with “I am learning.”
