003: A Paralympian's Quest to Summit Mt. Kilimanjaro - Chris Wadell
Manage episode 438340647 series 3595862
Chris Waddell was in college when a skiing accident left him paralyzed from the waist down. The moment he learned that he would never walk again was a moment of reckoning, and it was in its own way, only the beginning.
What followed was an incredibly accomplished career as a Hall of Fame skier, 7 Paralympics, 13 medals, and a new mission to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro as an unassisted paraplegic.
Commitment, fear, success, identity, and craft are all interconnected themes that are evident in Chris Waddell's incredible story.

✨The Other Side of Success is where we share stories of people who win big - and when they failed hard. By sharing true tales from the trenches, we expose an important truth of success: that failure along the way is not only inevitable, but required.
This is true in business, in entrepreneurship, in relationships, and in personal accomplishment - really, in the effort to build ANYTHING that matters.
It's not about glorifying failure, it's about humanizing success. Because, behind every success story, there's a tale of epic failure waiting to be told.
