The High Five That Changed My Life: Robyn Moriarty

The Extra Mile - The Official Charity Miles Podcast ·

2020/05/05

I met Robyn nearly 20 years ago, when we GAVE each other a high five. That one high five completely changed my life. Since it's #GivingTuesdayNow, I want to encourage you to GIVE someone else a (socially distant) high five. You'll make their day. You might even completely change the trajectory of your life. Also, since it's Giving Tuesday Now, I want to encourage everyone to make a donation to charity TODAY. Of course, it's important to support COVID-relief efforts. But I also hope you'll support

This is a time for leaders to step up. Which is why I'm thrilled to share this conversation with my friend, Gerard Adams. Gerard is a serial entrepreneur and host of the internet-television series, Leaders Create Leaders. Most importantly, he's from New Jersey, which is where all great minds come from. Gerard always knew how to hustle. After nearly getting busted for selling marijuana as a teen, Gerard decided that he preferred more legitimate business ventures.

The Extra Mile - The Official Charity Miles Podcast ·

2020/04/30

This may be the perfect interview for the times we find ourselves in. Jimmy Choi was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease when he was 27 years old. He spent the next eight years in denial, ignoring the Parkinson's, gaining weight, walking with a cane... until, one day, he fell down the stairs while holding his infant son. That was the wake up call Jimmy needed to turn his life around. First he got educated about Parkinson's. Then he started walking with his cane. Then he started walking without his

2020/04/27

George Weiner is one of the smartest people I know, particularly when it comes to charity. As the founder of Whole Whale, he helps charities every day make the most of the digital tools available to them. Whenever I need HONEST feedback, I call George. I'm always glad whenever I heed his advice. I always regret when I don't. Which makes this interview particularly sobering-- and steeling. While I'm trying to maintain a positive outlook, and while many of us are eager for things to "return to

To celebrate the NYC Marathon this week, today's interview is with the legendary Bill Rodgers, 4X winner of the NYC Marathon, 4X winner of the Boston Marathon, former American record holder, and so much more.

He ran cross country in high school and was "recruited" to Wesleyan University by none other than Amby Burfoot. While at
