What is Normal?
Normal is one of those words people use a lot but do we really know what it even means? The standard of normal has obviously shifted over the years. Just look at the standard of beauty.

Live YOUR Legend
There is a revolution going on. It’s been going on for quite a while now. Invisible and quiet to some but outstanding and paradigm-blasting to many. And many more are joining the ranks.

Leap, Flop, Bend…Do Your Thing & Change the World
The Fosbury Flop sounds like some disaster in the food industry doesn’t it? It’s actually a high jump technique that revolutionized the sport in the 1960s. It’s that backward-arch over the pole that we see today. AND it’s a fantastic story. It’s inspirational. It’s about the human spirit and an open heart. Triumph over… Continue Reading
