| Episode 172: Defying Limits and Inspiring Change with Bonner Paddock Rinn | 19 mai 2023 | 00:55:15 | |
In 2008, Bonner Paddock summited Mount Kilimanjaro, the world’s tallest freestanding mountain. Four years later, he earned the elite triathlete title, Kona Ironman. Thousands have done each individually. Bonner is the first person with cerebral palsy to do both.
When Bonner was born, his umbilical cord had coiled twice around his neck, depriving him of oxygen, causing parts of his brain to die. That cord didn’t take his life, but it changed it forever.
Diagnosed in his youth, Bonner swore he wouldn’t let this neurological disorder limit him, and for twenty-nine years he guarded the truth about his health. But the sudden death of a friend’s young son who also suffered from CP forced Bonner to re-evaluate his life. No longer would he be content striving for normal. Instead, he would live life to its fullest, pursuing one breathtaking experience at a time—while raising money for special needs children along the way—and never turn down a challenge for fear of his physical limitations.
His monumental climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro was documented in the film Beyond Limits and helped raise money for the construction of a new childcare center in Orange County, providing early treatment for children with all types of physical disabilities. Bonner took his vision global and has been building more centers around the world to help children live better lives. When he completed the Kona Ironman… which is 140 miles of racing…. in 16 1/2 hours, he raised over $560,000 for special needs children.
His is a remarkable journey that has taken him across the globe and introduced him to a fascinating cast of characters who have supported his inspiring quest. An athlete, adventurer, and philanthropist, he is no longer defined by his limits, but by the moments that pushed him past them. Bonner's book, One More Step, shows us that we can all conquer our own challenges and embrace every moment life has to offer. What you’ll learn in this episode:

How does a poor kid from the housing projects make it to the corporate boardroom? For Steve White, it’s the result of an uncompromising attitude and work ethic. President of Comcast’s West Division for eleven years, Steve launched his career in 1996 as Regional Vice President. A commitment to his why and the influence of mentors enabled him to demonstrate consistent growth for his teams and divisions, which led to increasing leadership responsibilities.

| Episode 147: Preparation + Passion + Opportunity = Growth with Andrew Cohen | 30 mars 2022 | 00:46:53 | |
Andrew is the CEO and Co-Founder of Work Better Now, a virtual assistant company that is revolutionizing the talent recruiting industry. Before launching Work Better Now, he was a business advisor for the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Program. Andrew and his partner, Rob Levin, saw a gap in the virtual assistant market in 2018. They knew that every business could have an assistant that delivers REAL value to their operation, but there was no way to connect affordable, top quality candidates with the businesses that needed them the most. The business model was a natural fit for Andrew, and Work Better Now has hit 30% team growth in the last 6 months. Andrew has a unique and inspiring journey. An entrepreneur at heart, he discovered early on that growing and scaling businesses was closely connected to helping others make things happen. Now, he’s at the leading edge of a new frontier in recruiting and business development. Andrew is passionate about helping clients grow their businesses while also providing never-before-available opportunities for his team at WBN. Work Better Now connects top talent to thriving businesses in ways that weren’t possible ten years ago.
