Forty-one years ago, Bob Bowler walked into a Special Olympics event during his lunch break. He had no plan, no role, and no agenda—only a desire to serve. That small step turned into a lifetime of impact: raising funds, starting sports programs, and founding a camp for children with special needs that now serves over 335 campers and draws more than 500 volunteers each year.

In this episode, I share Bob's story and the three leadership lessons I learned from him:

• Find joy in other people's dreams coming true

• Serve expecting nothing in return

• Choose positivity over negativity

Bob's example shows that leadership starts with initiative, service, and discipline. His story might inspire you to take the next step in your own journey.
