Kikkan is an Olympic Skiing SUPERSTAR!  Period.  Kikkan debuted at the Olympics in her hometown of Salt Lake City in 2002.  How cool is that?  She then competed in 4 MORE Olympic games throughout her incredible skiing career.  Kikkan helped shape the United States Olympic Ski Team into the powerhouse that it currently is.  She’s a trailblazer and ultimate leader and teammate.

Kikkan is a 5x Olympian.  She’s a 17x National Champion.  She has 29 World Cup Podiums.  Kikkan has 13 World Cup Victories.  She was the first American Woman to win a World Cup event.  This woman is just simply amazing.

Then, 3 months after Kikkan reached her lifelong goal of becoming a Gold Medal Olympian, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.  The way she tells the story is both difficult to hear but also so inspiring to listen to.  Kikkan is taking on cancer just like she took on any competitive event.  She doesn’t quit.  She works her butt off.  And she refuses to give anything less than her best. 

Enjoy this episode because it has every emotion within it and Kikkan gives us so many takeaways we can implement into our own lives.

Connect with Ryan.  Instagram: @LookMomNoHands

Ryan is AMAZING!  This guy will inspire you from the second he begins speaking.  He is incredible!  Ryan is a Father, Husband, baseball coach, motivational speaker, and full time web designer. 

What I didn’t tell you yet was that Ryan was born with severely shortened legs and no hands.  Ryan has a “disability.”  But Ryan refuses to let his disability define him.  This guy has taught himself to do things that I couldn’t even believe.  He does not take “you can’t do this” for an answer.  EVER. 

He drives his own car.  He texts.  He is a web designer using the same computer and mouse that you and I would use.  He has learned to FLY A PLANE.  He has had some of the most amazing experiences anyone could ever have.  And why?  Because he refused to be defined by his disability. 

This episode will have you laughing, getting emotional, and being inspired to take action in your own life!

Boro has been a friend of mine for over a year now.  We met at a Tony Robbins event called “Unleash the Power Within.”  Boro has such an unbelievable story of how he came to the United States.  He has taken more risks in his young life than most people have in 90+ years on this planet!  And those risks are paying off now. 

Boro is one of the most fun, outgoing, honest, and uplifting people I have ever met.  On a personal note, Boro and I have been FaceTiming each other once a week to share stories, laugh, and help each other continue to LEVEL UP even during tough times with Covid.  This guy is a great human!  Enjoy his inspiring story and I hope you get some great takeaways during this interview.

Lauryn is a United States Olympian Sprinter AND Bobsledder!  Lauryn is the FIRST American Woman to win Medals in BOTH the Summer and Winter Olympics!  To me, that is just so incredibly impressive and special that words don’t even do it justice.  This woman is on another level and it blows my mind!

Lauryn is such a humble champion and does such a great job speaking about her life before, during, and after her massive successes in sprinting and bobsledding.  She has transitioned her life in a beautiful way post Olympics and keeps finding ways to challenge herself while also adding value to people all over the world with her entrepreneurial skills. 

This is such a powerful interview and I am so honored to have Lauryn on the show!

Sidney Kushner is an incredible HUMAN BEING!  He founded a non-profit called Connecting Champions as a 19-year old and has run it for over a decade.  He lost a close friend to cancer at a young age and that inspired Sidney to take his life on a completely different path.  The world is a MUCH better place since Sidney took this new path because he is changing the lives of many young people battling cancer.  It is so beautiful what he’s doing!

Sidney was named a Top 100 Student Entrepreneur by Stanford University.  He was featured in Forbes and Harvard Business Review!  He was honored as one of Pittsburgh’s “30 Under 30” as well.  This guy is the most humble, impressive, down-to-earth person I’ve ever met.  He’s changing the world and this episode is a MUST LISTEN/WATCH.  Enjoy the brilliance of Sidney!

Andy Newell helped take the United States Ski Team to a completely new level over the course of his skiing career.  He has competed in events all over the world and skied for the United States Olympic Team 4 times in his amazing career! 

He has some fascinating videos if you YouTube “X Ski Films” as I believe Andy is the FIRST cross country skier to do ski tricks/jumps that you have to see to believe.  I watched a bunch of these videos before we did the interview and it blew my mind!  Get ready for a fun, energetic interview.
