We all know that there is a constant push-pull between doing what's safe and predictable and getting out of our comfort zone and turning our businesses and our lives into an adventure. But, how do you get out of your own way? I mean there are a lot of very good reasons to stay comfortable and simply accept your lot in life… right? Well, our guest today might heavily disagree!  Our guest on this episode is…Lowell Taylor.

Lowell and Julie are an enthusiastic and dynamic couple who persevere through obstacles every day. Lowell suffers from Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) and is legally blind.

He is currently training for Para-Triathlon and Para-Cycling (road and track) events with a dream to compete in the Tokyo Paralympic Games in 2020.
