Our guests were people willing to take action!!
It's not about being fearless but fearing less.
Courage is feeling the fear and doing it anyway.
The power of vulnerability is it draws people near.

Obstacles are opportunities we can learn and grow from.
Obstacle Course is a mindset, a decision and a life long habit. That's why it never ends.
Often, obstacles start as a feeling.
"I will always look back and remember that we hosted a show that encouraged people to not be overtaken by the tough things in life but to allow the tough things to toughen them up so they could move forward and do what's truly meaningful and great in the world."
