It’s sometimes the chance encounters of our life that lead us to fulfil unexpected potential. That’s exactly what happened with our guest in this episode, Conan Visser, Founder and CEO of I Can I Will. It was a last ditch attempt to help their son for one set of parents who went to Conan as a personal trainer for their son. Along the way, Conan discovered the incredible impact that relatability and believing in young people with special needs can have. We hear the full story of how I Can I Will began, how it led to a world record and how it is a catalyst for breaking stereotypes and limitations for youth with special needs.
