SHOW INTRODUCTION:

Have you ever heard you’re not smart enough, talented enough, or that it’s just not in your genes to do what you want to do, to reach for your dreams, or to follow that special path you yearn to follow?

Well if this sounds even vaguely familiar, then do we have the show for you!

Today we’ll be talking with the Rock Star of No Excuses. His name is Kyle Maynard. He was born as a congenital amputee with two half arms, and two half legs…well, half by our standards, for boy is Kyle whole. He’s one of the top athletes in the nation, or the world, LITERALLY, in able-bodied standards, he’s climbed to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, and this year competed in the world championships in Jiu Jitsu.

Kyle is one of the most inspiring, motivational, and uplifting people you’ll ever meet. But he’s not infallible. What he does best is dusting himself off, throwing out garbage excuses (from himself or others) and  going for it!

And that’s what we’ll be discussing today, how we can all let go of our excuses, move past the BS, and do the things we’ve always dreamed of doing. That plus the sandbox, Jiu Jitsu, mountain climbing and cage-fighting, plus what in the world happened in shopping carts!
