Bonner Rinn - Living With Cerebral Palsy, And Leaving Dark Motivation Behind

Talking points: motivation, resiliency, transformation, Mt Kilimanjaro, Kona marathon, family secrets, doubt, shame

I'm proud to have known Bonner for some time now, thanks to him being a member of the Alliance, my private men's group. But the reason I wanted him on the show is to share his powerful story and how he's alchemized his life and his troubles into something that serves others. Many others, as you'll find out when you hit play.

I strongly recommend checking this one out if you or someone you know has any form of disability. It's important not just to help each other along, but to gather perspective on the extra hurdles many of us face, how they're managed or overcome, and the radical change that can stem from all of the above.

(00:00:00) - Intro and Bonner's defining moment

(00:10:21) - Growing up with cerebral palsy

(00:14:31) - The different kinds of family rules, and how came to hide his CP

(00:20:44) - How Bonner used athleticism to both get attention and distract himself

(00:32:00) - The story of Jakey

(00:42:10) - How "dark motivation" got Bonner to the top, but couldn't get him down

(00:58:15) - Challenges of completing the Kona Triathlon

(01:04:10) - Next steps, and a return to Kilimanjaro
