Three Legs, One Heart: How a Para-Triathlete Defies the Odds, Robert Anthony, Ep. 542

Robert was born with Fibular Hemimelia, a birth defect that led to his amputation at just 10 months old. Facing numerous challenges throughout his youth, including the absence of a consistent father figure, surviving abuse, and a life-altering house fire, Robert's journey was far from easy. However, these trials only fortified his resolve, transforming his struggles into a powerful narrative of resilience and determination. Now a devoted father and husband, Robert has turned his hardships into a source of inspiration for others. He has traveled extensively across the country, sharing his message of hope and resilience at conferences, corporations, and educational institutions, reaching over 100,000 students.

Andrew Running the Cape Town Marathon to raise Funds for Congolese Refugees, Ep. 539

In 2018, Andrew O’Brien nearly lost his leg — and with it, the belief that his body could ever carry him the way it once had. Today, he’s running 26.2 miles in Cape Town on May 24th to raise money for Congolese refugees through UNHCR, fueled by a love for Africa that was born during his first visit to Cape Town in 2019, was deepened in the internally displaced camps of Goma in the DRC in 2024, and cemented in the refugee camps of Burundi in 2025. This is a comeback story, a mission, and a whole lot of heart — and we’re so glad he’s back on the show to share it. 🌍🎙️ Link to the fundraiser: https://unrefugees-sanlam-capetown2026.funraise.org/fundraiser/andrew-obrien Listen to the first episode to get to know Andrew's passions:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/andrew-obrien-the-mindblowing-coach-ep-496/id1483227257?i=1000720545924  ***********Susanne Mueller  / www.susannemueller.biz  TEDX Talk, May 2022: Running and Life: 5KM Formula for YOUR  Successhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oT_5Er1cLvY Join Substack: https://substack.com/@susannemuellernyc?Enjoy one coaching session for free if you are a yearly subscriber. 800+ weekly blogs / 500+ podcasts / 1 Ironman Triathlon /  5 half ironman races / 26 marathon races / 4 books / 1 Mt.

From Wall Street to One Ally: Gina Chen's Journey of Purpose & Impact, Ep. 538

Gina Chen is the Founder and Managing Attorney of One Ally, a boutique corporate law firm redefining what it means to practice business law with both rigor and heart. A former M&A attorney at Davis Polk, Paul Weiss, and Mayer Brown, Gina has led and advised on over $10 billion in transactions, representing public companies, private equity funds, and high-growth businesses across industries. But Gina’s path to Wall Street began far from it. A first-generation immigrant who came to the United States at age nine, she has spent her life navigating the intersection of community and capital. Before law, she worked on sustainable farming initiatives in China, conducted post-earthquake rebuilding research as a Fulbright Scholar, and co-founded a nonprofit delivering vision care to thousands of rural students. Through One Ally, Gina now brings big-firm expertise to mission-driven founders, women entrepreneurs, and minority-led businesses seeking strategic, values-aligned legal guidance. She believes law should be empowering, accessible, and deeply human. Gina is passionate about mentorship, cross-cultural leadership, and helping founders build businesses that create lasting impact, not just financial returns, but generational change.
