Show Notes
Life is full of complexity -- just ask adaptive athlete Amy Bream, this episode's special guest. She was born with one leg, but that didn’t stop her from growing up to become a kickboxer. In 2021, she competed in the CrossFit Games, placing in the top five. And in 2022, she came in first at Wodapalooza — one of the biggest fitness competitions in the world. The key to her success? Controlling what she can. Join her, Ron and Chris as they discuss:
-How self perception shapes how others interact with you
-The power of showing up and believing in yourself
-Amy’s viral moment at the CrossFit Games
-Her partnership with Axonius
-Her advice for those struggling to show up in life
