#241: Chris Koch | If I Can.....
Whatever you are doing, stop and take 30 minutes out of your day for one of the most inspiring and uplifting podcast episodes I have had the pleasure of recording. Today's guest, Chris Koch, was born in the small farming and ranching community of Nanton in Alberta, Canada. Despite being born without arms and legs, it’s an understatement to say he has lived a full and active life. Growing up, he helped on the family farm and participated in sports, including baseball, soccer and snowboarding. In recent years, Koch has shared his story worldwide, spreading his message of “If I Can…” encouraging others to make the most out of life regardless of their situation. He constantly seeks out new adventures and challenges, conveying his message by example. He has travelled the globe extensively, often solo, crossing off bucket-list items, including bungee-jumping and swimming with sharks. Koch has also embarked on several fundraising challenges, including climbing all 1,776 stairs of the CN Tower and completing the Calgary Marathon.
