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.
