It takes 3 things to succeed in life.

Passion for what you do, the work ethic to pull it off…

And understanding that no one succeeds alone.

These are what today’s guest, Chris Klug, learned after he managed to bounce back from being the recipient of a life-saving organ donation to become a three-time snowboarding Olympian and Founder of the Chris Klug Foundation.

In this episode, we discuss:

Why Chris fell in love with snowboarding in the sport’s infancy
How Chris was able to recover from his transplant surgery and medal in the next olympics
Chris’ struggle thanking his donor’s family and why he ultimately started a foundation for organ donation
