The accident not only stripped him of his chance of Olympic glory, it nearly killed him.
At 26 years old he’s lived a life full of breakthroughs, astonishing recoveries and heartache. He remains upbeat and recently established LoveYourBrain, a social profit organization dedicated to providing support for the 1.7 million people in the U.S. who suffer traumatic brain injuries each year, as well as their families. LoveYourBrain is currently launching a national Yoga and Meditation Program, providing affordable, accessible yoga to brain injury survivors and their primary caretakers.

At 11 she was given the chance to learn to grow mushrooms. This changed the course of her life and now at 24, Chido travels around Zimbabwe and the world teaching others to...Chido Govera lives in a poverty-stricken community in Zimbabwe. As a child, she had to provide for her younger brother and blind grandmother. She tended a field where she attempted to grow maize, sorghum and millet. But the crops always failed.
At the age of 11, she found a way to grow edible mushrooms using the waste from these failed crops. This turned into an opportunity for the community.
She was able to provide food not only for her family and community, but she could help other orphans that could not afford to pay their school fees. She has used her idea to educate and help people throughout Africa and beyond.

These have ranged from oyster growing, being a wholesale fishmonger, running a lobster hatchery and running Anglesey Sea Zoo for 23 years.
The last decade has been focused on starting The Anglesey Sea Salt Company, Halen Môn, and turning it into a successful business. All these have been started with his wife, Alison.
Alison Lea-Wilson moved to Wales aged 18 to attend Bangor University. She trained as a teacher but didn’t like the constraints so she chose self-employment enabling her to try out different roles as a fish merchant, aquarium owner, sea salt maker as well as bringing up three children.
Her skills lie in making connections, establishing relationships and fierce attention to detail: the perfect foil to her husband who gets excited and does things at the slightest provocation.
If she talks it will be to show that you don’t have to have big, unique ideas, just have the confidence to try things, work hard and be nice to people.

Since he was a kid, he's always seen obstacles as opportunities: to make ourselves vulnerable, to learn about each other, to stretch way beyond our boundaries.
Looking at life this way is generally exhilarating. But it can also be exhausting. So a year ago, when his work with the Watch the Throne tour wrapped up and he suddenly had some free time, Hunter did what most of us would do. He slept. And in that sleep, the deepest I had in a very long while, he dreamed of SHADOW.
SHADOW is the world’s first alarm clock that helps people remember and record their dreams. It transcribes your dreams, pulls out the keywords, strips away any data that could identify you, and pushes it to a giant global data cloud—where other SHADOW users can see global dream patterns and find dreamers like them around the world.
Why does he care so much about dreams? Because we sleep for a third of our lives, and we forget 95% of our dreams within five minutes of waking up. But some really pivotal things—laws of physics, technological advancements, classic works of literature—were born of dreams. We’re socialized to think of sleep as inactivity, but certain parts of our brain—the parts that handle things like problem-solving and memory—are most active while we’re sleeping. That’s a huge amount of potential we’re forgetting each morning.
Like astronauts gazing back on Earth for the first time, SHADOW is a way to see the world from a different angle. It’s also a bit of a gamble. SHADOW wants to create a global dream community and assemble the world’s largest dream database.

Situated in a historic 1890′s brick warehouse in the Port of Oakland, Linden Street Brewery is focused on bringing a lost tradition back to Oakland in a way that honours beer styles native to the West Coast and contributes to the revitalisation of the Bay area and its people.

Tamsin moved to Canberra and started work at a social research agency doing policy and program evaluations for federal government departments. While challenging and interesting this was a very transient life that involved a lot of travel, and every time she ventured out to the far-flung regions, which she did quite often, Tamsin felt overwhelmed with homesickness for a farm, and a way of life, she didn't have.
So in the end, she succumbed and bought one, a rundown, difficult, steep but fertile 113 acres on a windy hilltop in Poowong East. Although Tamsin had never done a day’s farming in her life, she learnt how much you can get done when you have no idea what is meant to be impossible.
These days Tamsin runs a small business on the farm called Tamsin’s Table, and lives with her eight and a half-year-old daughter Martha and, after many years on her own, she shares her life with her companion Allan.
