proud co host of our show. Thank you so much
for joining us on this journey as we get to

NFL cheerleaders, to extreme sports legends to New York City
firefighters who survived nine to eleven.

I walked on arrestling that hoping to get a deadbeat
dad's attention, and didn't work.

We found out the shooter had been taken into custody
before we ever found out that Ched was the other
man down.

Speaker 5 (00:41):
I cried because I wanted my mom to be what
I thought was the version of normal, a normal mom,
and I just knew she wasn't, and she's sitting there
doing drugs.

The debreed came down, and I didn't have an airpac
and I have my nose to the ground and I'm saying, no,
this isn't going to end like this.

We believe everyone's got a story worth telling, not only
about the peaks, but more importantly about the valleys and
what's gotten them where they are today.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
We can't afford to get better over this. We're gonna
have to get better.

Speaker 7 (01:13):
Every single person I meet is better at something than
I am, and whether open harm and open mind, I
have an opportunity to learn what that is and learn
from that person.

Speaker 5 (01:21):
Discipline, the hard work, to finally be chosen, and to
know you made it. There really is nothing like it.
