On Butterflies of Wisdom today, Best-Selling Author, Win C welcomes Juan Carlos Gil. Juan was born November 16, 1981, in the city of Medellin, Colombia. In 1986, Juan moved to Miami Florida.  When Juan arrived in America, he was only five years old, and he did not speak one word of English.  Juan was born prematurely and as a result, have two disabilities. Juan is legally blind and has Cerebral Palsy.  Juan had to have numerous surgeries on his eyes and legs.  Juan’s family and he moved to Miami, so Juan was able to receive better health care and education. While Juan was in elementary school, in 1991, his P.E. teacher told him about wheelchair racing.  That winter, Juan started his first wheelchair competition in the Orange Ball Sports Ability Games that was hosted by Miami Day Public School System.  At these games, Juan started wheelchair racing in an everyday wheelchair or hospital chair. Many countries that came to the game saw that Juan had the determination and potential to be an active wheelchair racer.  For example, the Canadian and the Israeli Para-Olympic coaches invited Juan to race for their countries.  At this time, Juan was only ten years old!  Juan had to decline their offer because he was still in school. Juan continued to race until he went to high school and the Florida School awarded him a grant for the Deaf and Blind that allowed me to obtain a push-rim racing chair.  This gave me the ability to race around the nation which made him triumphal. In 2001, Juan had the opportunity to go to the junior national sport ability games. Juan was one of over five-hundred athletes that went to New Jersey for three weeks. This was during the summer, and we went there for various track and field events. Juan was the only athlete that came who was visually impaired. Overall, Juan came in third place for his races. Juan’s determination and tenacity have helped he progress to successfully coming in second place for his races even though Juan wanted to be in first place. Four years after Juan graduated from high-school, Mary Bryant approached him while Juan was doing his first marathon in Miami in the push-rim that was given to him while Juan was in high school. Juan was on the first bridge in the Miami marathon when Mary Bryant approached him and asked him if Juan would consider handcycle was racing the year after with Achilles International Track Club. Juan wanted to give it a try so Juan took the offer and told her that he would. In 2007, Juan was doing the Avis North American racing tour when Achilles gave him a hand cycle.  With this hand cycle, Juan has done many marathons and bike races across the country as the only legally blind person, like the M.S. 150 (Multiple Sclerosis 150-mile bike ride.) and the A1A marathon. In 2008, Juan was awarded Avis’ We Try Harder Award. In February of 2008, Juan participated in the A1A marathon, and he came in second place. When Juan did the A1A marathon, he saw the beauty of what Fort Lauderdale has to offer with its pristine beach front. Juan’s goal in A1A was to finish in one hour and forty-five min

On Butterflies of Wisdom today, JC (Host) and Best-Selling Author, Win C (Co-Host) welcomes Kimberly Caccavo and Katharine Nowlan. Kimberly received her BS in Chemical Engineering from UC Berkeley. She was a research engineer focused on metals used in the space shuttle and later on ceramic heat engines. She LOVED it. She then entered the business world, received an MBA from UCLA and held a variety of executive positions. She ran the telephone directory business; helped privatize a Latin American phone company; started a cable company; worked in Hollywood and had her consultancy helping people start businesses. Kimberly has been GRACEDBYGRIT many times: she helped her single mom balance a checkbook when she was eight years old; she married young and was widowed; she survived a kidnapping attempt; now she is graced with a great business and an entertaining family. Kimberly is married to Jim Caccavo and has two children (a teen and a pre-teen). Kate makes it happen as COO of GRACEDBYGRIT. She manages her team leading by example and never sacrificing fun. She starts an impromptu ab workout in the office one moment and leads a company meeting the next. With her cheerful, positive attitude, she shows her employees why working for GRACEDBYGRIT is her dream job each and every day. She is a natural people-person and loves working with women. She received her BA in Sociology and Psychology from UMass Amherst. As an entrepreneur, she owned her company, Absolutely Organized. She staged clients’ homes and organized their small businesses. Kate was also an executive for a non-profit in which she planned events, coordinated fundraisers and launched new programs. Her experience as an athlete, running and swim coach and entrepreneur have taught her to think of ways to improve efficiency and results continuously. Her background has also taught her what women want and what women should wear in order to perform and look their best. Outside of the office, Kate is raising two teenage daughters (talk about gritty!) while squeezing in yoga or a run almost every day. When she isn’t folding laundry (hello, teenage girls) she finds time for her boyfriend, family and friends usually while sipping an extra dirty martini.
