Show Notes
Happy first week of Spring! Today we are sitting down with Chris Nikic, the first man with down syndrome to complete an Ironman triathlon, and his father Nik. Together we discuss how Chris overcame the mental and physical pain of training to accomplish his goals, and the rhythms he implements to become 1% better each day. There is so much we can take away from this conversation and apply to our daily lives.
- If you are looking to enter the Spring season with intention, join us in a two-week tech detox. Less Scrolling More Strolling was designed to help us look up, away from our phones, and see what God has to show us in the beauty of seasons.
- To hear more from Gabe on this topic, you can check out his article, In Defense of Down Syndrome Children, Like My Son.
- You can find Chris's book out now, 1% Better: Reaching My Full Potential and How You Can Too.
- As we aim to live fueled by a rhythm of rest, we have partnered with Abide. Their resources are a tangible way to experience the beauty of God's Word.
- Join our email community for encouragement, advice, and to submit questions for the RFL podcast!
