Episode Description
This show celebrates those that work together and create greater outcomes than they could individually. My book Break Through to Yes: Unlocking the Possible within a Culture of Collaboration aligns with going the distance together. No one gets left behind. Remember the Africa proverb; if you want to go fast go alone. If you want to go far, go together. The Secret Marathon; Inspired by a story of courage a young woman and her legendary marathon mentor train in secret for the Marathon of Afganistan, only to uncover that for the runners, this marathon is much more than just a race. We have legendary marathoner (250 Marathons in One Year for Right to Play) Martin Parnell and filmmaker Kate McKenzie talking about this amazing story and the film they are creating. We, also, have the inspiring Shawn Anderson. In 2017, Shawn will finish his 7th book, walk across England and Ireland, take his "go the extra mile" message on a speaking tour in Central America.
