Walt Bleser isn't one for titles, although he has a few - President, CEO, athlete, but the most important to him are father, husband, leader, and survivor. A few years ago, Walt narrowly avoided an almost always fatal type of heart attack called the “widow maker” – he was a competitive cyclist and barely into his 40s at the time. Walt was also Type A, in a demanding job with an equally matched travel schedule, and had just welcomed his first child. Needless to say, there were warning signs that he had been ignoring.
Throughout our conversation, Walt shares insight into some of the most pivotal moments of his life. He talks about the chip on his shoulder that pushed him from being an average student to graduating near the top of his university engineering class and onto a Master’s degree. We also dive into the concept of “false summits,” the need to constantly seek more but never feel fully fulfilled. He has pivoted and found a new pathway in his professional career, while also finding ways to serve the community in his personal life. Walt is open and honest, humble and changed. Please join us for this conversation; there are so many valuable takeaways.
