Collect Scars: Lilian Umurungi-Jung, Mumgry | Waste No Potential

Scars. We all have them. But do we see them as reminders of mistakes or marks of progress? At Waste No Potential, we are infinitely curious how people push their limits to find out what they are truly capable of. The thing is, when we push ourselves to the edge sometimes we end up falling off. Good, now we know how far we can go. We pick ourselves up, put on a bandage, and carry on with a new scar — little or big — to add to the collection of lessons learned.

Lilian Umurungi-Jung has had plenty of bruises on her path to success. She had “every job on planet Earth” before landing a position that was a great fit. Soon after, Lilian and her husband found out she was pregnant. Life was great. Until an unexpected twist, painful in the moment, caused her to rethink everything — and sent her on a path that would change her life forever.

Tractionite Emily Beach can tell her life story through scars. She has some doozies. An extreme sports enthusiast, Beach knows scars are part of the learning process and brings this mindset to her work and personal life. She has experienced more peaks and valleys than most have dreamt of, but one thing Beach has never allowed is a scar to stop her from her true potential.

Join us as we hear the stories of these determined individuals who don’t let obstacles stop them forging their unique path to success.
