Chris Koch is an inspirational speaker, a philanthropist, a damn good uncle, a true born farmer and has a zest for life that most desire for their entire lives. Being born with no arms and no legs, this did not slow him down and he shares why with the way that he was raised and the outlook his family had to do less for him, so that he would learn more. Chris travels the world sharing his message with others with his brand “If I Can” and he truly embodies everything that it represents along his adventures and in daily life. Beyond all of this, he’s a down to earth human with a great heart and I was honored to get to spend some time with him in this chat.
