Paralympic Champion Chris Waddell joined me this afternoon and we discussed his amazing life. Chris was a college athlete (Middlebury College) in 1988 when he fell while skiing and sustained a back injury which rendered him paraplegic. Within a year of the accident he was back on skis (mono-ski) and continued to be part of the Middlebury College ski team. Chris went on to become a highly decorated paralympic champion in both the winter AND summer paralympic games. In 2006 Chris retired as a professional athlete and embarked on a journey to deliver a new message by creating a re-newed identity. He summited Mt. Kilimanjaro in 2009 and re-discovered himself. His story is truly inspirational and a testament to the human spirit. 

Thank you for your "failures" Chris. You're quite a loser!
