What up, Get Up Nation®? My name is Ben Biddick, the Creator and Host of the Get Up Nation® Podcast and Co-Author of Get Up: The Art of Perseverance with former Major League Baseball player and CEO of Lurong Living, Adam Greenberg. Recently I had the honor and privilege of speaking with David Yates, the CEO of Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Clearwater, Florida. David leads this organization that preserves our environment while inspiring the human spirit through leadership in the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of marine life, environmental education, research, and conservation. David also Co-Produced the film Dolphin Tale that inspires entire generations with the story of how the staff at Clearwater Marine Aquarium rescued and rehabilitated an injured dolphin named Winter. He is also the Executive Producer of Dolphin Tale 2 and writer of the documentary called “Winter, the Dolphin That Can.” While Major League Baseball fans of the Philadelphia Phillies flock to Clearwater, Florida, during Spring Training to get an early look at the how the team is preparing for the baseball season, people flock to Clearwater Marine Aquarium year-round to find inspiration and comfort in the presence of human beings and marine life inhabiting our earth together to overcome adversity. David, thank you for taking time to speak with me and inspire Get Up Nation® with the amazing work you and your staff do here in Clearwater, Florida!

What up, Get Up Nation®! My name is Ben Biddick, the Creator and Host of the Get Up Nation® Podcast and Co-Author of Get Up: The Art of Perseverance with former Major League Baseball player and CEO of Lurong Living, Adam Greenberg. Recently I had the honor and privilege of speaking with Rene Michele, the author of “Battle Scars Are Beautiful: From Victim to Victory.” She is a survivor of sexual abuse that began in childhood and is committed to teaching others how to both identify and prevent childhood abuse. As a speaker she shares with individuals, organizations, and communities how “lack of self-worth, dysfunctional family systems, and maladaptive thinking all contribute to children not being able to identify or protect themselves from dangerous situations.” Rene is the first in her family to attend university and after achieving her degree, went on to earn qualifications in Counseling, Management, and Advanced Resume Writing where she helps others recognize their greatness and communicate it effectively to advance her clients into their greatness. She is the successful owner and Director of Career Path Resumes and the Director of a Crisis Care Community outreach organization. Today she continues to work in the child safety and disability sectors. It is my honor to welcome Rene to the Get Up Nation® Podcast, as she is a profound example of what Get Up Nation® is! She refused to allow experiences of domestic violence, bankruptcy, abusive marriage, repeated sexual assaults, and episodes of mental illness define her life. I can’t wait to share with you Rene’s fierce and resilient voice that will help you find the inner tenacity you may have never known you had. Rene, thank you for joining me on the Get Up Nation® Podcast!

What Up, Get Up Nation®? My name is Ben Biddick, the Creator and Host of the Get Up Nation® Podcast and Co-Author of Get Up: The Art of Perseverance with former Major League Baseball player and CEO of Lurong Living, Adam Greenberg. Recently I had the honor and privilege of speaking with WNBA star Renee Montgomery. She currently plays starting Point Guard for the Atlanta Dream, is a 2-time WNBA Champion, was the WNBA’s Sixth Woman of the Year in 2012, was a member of the WNBA All-Rookie Team in 2009, and an Eastern Conference All-Star in 2011. A graduate of the University of Connecticut, she honed her craft under the guidance of legendary Coach Auriemma. Renee led Connecticut to 138 wins and only 11 losses in her 4 year career at UCONN. She helped take UCONN to the NCAA Women’s Final Four twice, to four NCAA regionals, and 4 Big East regular season titles. She started 147 times, 139 of those were consecutive, the most by any player in UCONN program history as well as the most nationally. When she left Connecticut and launched her WNBA career, she was the only player in program history to rank in the top 10 in points, assists, steals, and three pointers. During her Senior year at UCONN, she led the team to a 39 and 0 record--one of only 5 perfect seasons in NCAA history--winning the National Championship. She was selected by the Minnesota Lynx in the first round and was the fourth overall pick in the 2009 WNBA draft. She’s won numerous awards including 2009’s Nancy Lieberman Award and 2009’s Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award in addition to her achievements on college and professional courts. I’m honored Renee took time to join me to share how she stays #resilient in her pursuit of excellence. Please enjoy Episode 59 of the Get Up Nation® Podcast!

What Up, Get Up Nation? My name is Ben Biddick, the Host of the Get Up Nation Podcast and Co-Author of Get Up: The Art of Perseverance with former Major League Baseball player and CEO of Lurong Living, Adam Greenberg. Recently I had the honor and privilege of speaking with Jordan Theurer. I had the honor of being connected with Jordan by Marc Holley who owns Atlas Defense. Marc is an amazing person who stepped up when I wanted to help Renee Parks and her husband celebrate completing chemotherapy. Check out Renee’s amazing journey on Get Up Nation Podcast Episode 3 and check out Marc Holley’s Atlas Defense at the link below where he coaches his clients in personal security to develop confidence through competence. He served in the Marine Corps and lives to impact veteran mental health. Which brings me to Jordan. Jordan is the first Get Up Grant Winner of 2019. Get Up Nation provided him with $50 to get some gear he needed for a race he only had 4 days to prepare for. When we get into this episode you will understand why I believe Jordan is deserving of our support. He is doing amazing things and overcoming tremendous adversity. He is an Ultra Runner who just completed the St Croix Winter Ultra 40 mile race in Hinckley, Minnesota, on January 12, 2019. He pulled a sled in the middle of the woods at night for 40 miles on 4 days notice! Initially he thought he earned twentieth place but found out afterward he placed fourteenth by finishing the race in 11 hours, 27 minutes, and 14 seconds!

Jordan is a United States Army Veteran and a survivor of alcoholism. In the darkest times of his addiction he discovered the book Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen by Christopher McDougall. It was the spark Jordan needed to begin his journey toward sobriety and health. Some ridiculed him when he first articulated he was going to be an Ultra Runner in the throes of addiction, but here he is now making his dream a reality. Jordan, thank you for joining me on the Get Up Nation Podcast!

Get Up Nation®! My name is Ben Biddick. I am the Creator and Host of the Get Up Nation® Podcast where I serve individuals, organizations, and societies to develop and sustain resilience and perseverance. I am Co-Author of Get Up: The Art of Perseverance with former Major League Baseball player and CEO of Lurong Living, Adam Greenberg. Welcome to episode 57. Recently I had the honor and privilege of speaking with Forbes 30 Under 30 nominee Matt Lebris. He’s an entrepreneur, public speaker, and branding expert. He’s experienced plenty of adversity in his life and has learned valuable lessons along the way. From his parents’ divorce to an athletic injury that shattered his dream of playing professional sports, to watching his mother battle cancer, to financial, educational, and professional struggles Matt learned the importance of resilience. He discovered the power and purpose of serving others. He began to rise in ways he never had. He graduated with multiple degrees. He mobilized an entire entrepreneurial community and met Daymond John of ABC’s Emmy Award winning show, Shark Tank, and the Founder of FUBU. After a 5 minute conversation, Matt boldy told Daymond that Matt would be working for Daymond one day. In 2 months, that became a reality.

For the last 2 and a half years, Matt has helped develop Daymond’s personal brand through different content initiatives such as digital media, books, podcasts, and more. Matt is also the Host of The Decoding Success Podcast which is built upon the principle that there is no longer a secret to success. The answers are out there for us to take, apply, experiment, and navigate accordingly. Matt dedicates himself to helping his listeners and fans possess the keys, insights, and knowledge to propel your life to the next level.

This brings us to where we are today, in this brilliant moment, where Matt has articulated his mission to positively impact 1 billion lives. I’m privileged to help include Get Up Nation in this billion who will be positively impacted by the journey and service he has to share. I want to thank Ashton Cantou, Life Mastery Coach, Speaker, and Philanthropist for connecting me with Matt. She was guest 37 on my show, and appreciate her service in helping others achieve the success they desire for their lives.

Matt Lebris, thank you for joining me on the Get Up Nation Podcast!

What Up, Get Up Nation®? My name is Ben Biddick, the Host of the Get Up Nation® Podcast and Co-Author of Get Up: The Art of Perseverance with former Major League Baseball player and CEO of Lurong Living, Adam Greenberg. Recently I had the honor and privilege of speaking with Sam Johnson. Sam is the Chief Programs Director at The Independence Fund, a non-profit organization committed to empowering catastrophically wounded, injured, or ill Veterans to overcome physical, mental, and emotional wounds incurred in the line of duty. What I love about those who serve at the Independence Fund is that they’re dedicated to improving the lives of both Veterans and their families. I’m honored Sam took the time to share with me how the Independence Fund helps people transition from adversity to resilience through their Mobility, Caregiver, Adaptive Sports, Advocacy, and Family programs. This organization identifies unmet needs for both veterans and their caregivers and strives to fill that gap so these families, who have offered and sacrificed so much, can thrive. Sam, thank you for joining me on the Get Up Nation Podcast!

She’s also the founder and owner of The Movement Paradigm where she shares her passion for an integrative approach to health blending Eastern and Western medicine, rooted in neuroscience, functional medicine, and movement science.

What Up, Get Up Nation®? My name is Ben Biddick, the Host of the Get Up Nation Podcast and Co-Author of Get Up: The Art of Perseverance with former Major League Baseball player and CEO of Lurong Living, Adam Greenberg. Recently on Get Up Nation ® social media, I had the honor of meeting a person who has experienced tremendous adversity in her life named Tiffany Annette Young. She is a pediatric cancer survivor and domestic violence survivor. Tiffany also survived cancer as an adult. Due to the effects of retinoblastoma cancer and its treatment at a young age while her family served in the United States Armed Forces in Germany, she was frequently viewed as different. After listening to how Tiffany endured and persevered through ridicule, bullying, illness, post-traumatic stress, and moments where she considered taking her own life, I am honored she joined me on the podcast to share her journey. She shares how she has committed herself to using her experiences of adversity to empower others. She shares how she takes great satisfaction and a depth of gratitude from moments where the gift of her life has been able to influence the lives of others toward their fulfillment. She is a master of creating big impact though “little” acts because of how she sees. Although cancer threatened to rob her of her vision as an infant, she can see with clarity the depth and brilliance of everyone around her regardless of their societal stature. She is truly making her life count and giving Get Up Nation a gift that helps us all to see how we can live a life of truly positive impact. It is with great honor that I share with all of you Episode 53 of the Get Up Nation Podcast.
