Grit, Grace, & Inspiration | Shift Your Mindset, Find Your Purpose, & Live Inspired

We all face barriers in our lives. And if we are not careful, those barriers can easily rob us of our opportunity to live out our lives to our greatest potential.

Erik Weihenmayer would prove to himself and to the world that blindness is yet another barrier that can be overcome. In 2001 Erik would become the first blind person to summit Mount Everest. He would then go on to climb to the highest point on all 7 continents. And when the mountains became too routine he would turn his focus towards kayaking the world's rivers.

Join me as I sit down with Erik to talk about his adventures, his wins, his losses, and all the moments in between.

A HUGE thank you goes out to Erik and the entire team at No Barriers for helping to remind us all that what's within us is greater than what's in our way!

Ali Ingersoll is a day trader, marketing consultant, disability advocate, writer, blogger, editor, and public speaker. She started her advocacy mission after being repeatedly denied medically necessary equipment by insurance companies over the last 10 years since becoming a C6 quadriplegic and full-time wheelchair user after a shallow water diving accident. With an insanely positive spirit and a heart of gold it would prove to take way more than a life-altering injury to keep Ali Ingersoll from living life to the fullest!

Fred Haywood was born on the island of Maui a decade before it became a state. The son of a sugar plantation doctor, he grew up playing with the neighbor kids, who were Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese, and white. He and his four siblings played in the waters off Kahului Harbor on their balsa wood surfboards and El Toro sailboats.

When Fred was seventeen, he left home to join George Haines’s world-famous Santa Clara swim team. In 1967, he and Mark Spitz were the first high school students to win the National Championships in Dallas, Texas, and Fred became the fastest backstroker in America.

Fred continued his winning ways in the sport of Windsurfing as he broke the world speed record in Weymouth, England.

In Fred's later years he became one of

the most successful realtors on the island of Maui.

Today, Fred Haywood is sharing his life's story in his book, Racing with Aloha!

"Be inspired to move through life without regret"

This year marks the 20th anniversary of 9/11. 20 years ago on the morning of September 11, 2001 the United States of America was attacked in the most cowardly way imaginable - Using our own passenger planes as weapons.

I was blessed with an opportunity to reflect back on that day while talking with Christina Ray Stanton, the author of:

Out of the Shadow of 9/11: An Inspiring Tale of Escape and Transformation

I hope that our conversation will inspire you to reflect back on your own experience of 9/11... It's a day that should never be forgotten.

Out of the Shadow of 9/11 by Christina Ray Stanton

In memory of all whose lives were lost on 9/11/01 we will never forget!

Bradford and Bryan Manning are two blind brothers on a mission to cure blindness. At a young age, they were diagnosed with Stargardt’s Disease, an eye disease that causes blindness over time. Thankfully they had two spectacular parents who raised them with the mindset that anything in this life is possible, they may just have to fight a little harder to get it.

While working in very successful careers life found a way to lead Bradford and Bryan in a different direction. They would create Two Blind Brothers, a small charitable clothing company that donates 100% of its profits to drive life-changing research for a cure for blindness. Two Blind Brothers focuses on quality, comfort, and "sense of touch”.
