A Product That Changed a Life In More Ways Than One: Interview with Gary Stern

Born in Baltimore, MD. 
He and his mom ended up in a small town near the Kennedy Space Center on the Atlantic Ocean.  

  He was constantly in the ocean where he learned to surf and sailboard. He'd get to visit his brother in Colorado where he got the snowboarding and mountain biking bug.  
   
     Gary, graduated as a Physical Therapist from the University of Florida.  He had every job imaginable to help pay the bills.  Lawn service, landscaping, restaurant, retail, construction - the list goes on and on.  He had the opportunity to work with professional athletes and public figures from all over the world at the Steadman-Hawkins Clinic in Vail, CO, quickly establishing a reputation for helping these patients extend their careers.  

     Life's trials weren't over yet though.  His father died of cancer in May of 1998 and I moved back to Florida to take care of his mother who was also diagnosed with cancer.  He was blessed to meet his wife Danielle soon after moving back to Florida.  He got married 2 years later.  He went into pharmaceutical sales working for GlaxoSmithKline in an attempt to increase his salary while allowing more flexibility of my schedule to care for his mom. She passed away in May of 2000.

     He needed an outlet and quickly found one in cycling.  Training and racing became his "therapy".  He went on to race successfully for 15 years, racking up numerous wins in mountain biking and road racing including 5 Florida State Time Trial Championships.   This led him to meeting his coach and good friend, Simon Kessler.  He never realized how important this meeting would be to his life's direction.

     Simon called him up and asked him to take a look at a product he was suggesting to his coaching clients.  

     That became a life-changing journey! Gary was able to "retire" from his pharmaceutical career and never look back. He had the opportunity to travel all over the world to share the message of time and financial freedom.
