Always Forward | Foreseeable Future Foundation Founder Griffin Pinkow

Elevator no. 259: Griffin Pinkow is the Founder of Foreseeable Future Foundation, a national nonprofit that has helped more than 5,000 visually impaired and blind individuals live active, independent lives through sports, recreation, and community. After losing his vision as a teenager to a degenerative retinal disease, Griffin refused to let it define him. He's completed four marathons, built a nonprofit that's raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the community, written a bestselling children's book, and is now training for a spot on the Paralympic tandem cycling team.In this podcast: Griffin walks us through the moment his doctor told him he was going blind and had no answers for how much or how fast. We talk about the guidance counselor who changed his life, the blindfolded "dining in the dark" events that turned empathy into action on his college campus, and why "always forward" became more than a tattoo, it became the entire operating system for how he lives.Link to for more information on Foreseeable Future Foundation
