In this special live episode of Enterprise.ing, Paralympian and motivational speaker Josh Sundquist shares how embracing the motto “One More Thing, One More Time” can drive both personal and professional breakthroughs. He explains how deliberately challenging oneself, harnessing humor in the face of adversity and knowing when to ask for help can transform obstacles into growth opportunities.Check out Josh's Halloween costumes here! “I felt sure that I could work harder than anyone else in the world and compensate for the natural talent that other people might have more of than I do.

This message features short clips from the critically acclaimed TV series Best Foot Forward, which is based on the true story of Paralympic athlete Josh Sundquist and his book "Just Don't Fall." This series of 10 episodes was released on AppleTV+ in 2022. No copyright is claimed for Best Food Forward, and we assert that use of the short clips within this sermon is permissible under fair use principles in U.S. copyright law. Liquid Church is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, specifically, a non-denominational Christian Church, and the purpose of using this media is non commercial in nature.  Best Foot Forward is ground-breaking in that it doesn't just feature actors with disabilities, some of the crew behind the camera have special needs as well. The Executive Producer, Josh Sundquist, lost his left leg to bone cancer when he was 10, and the show is based on his life story. It's a very compassionate, family-friendly show with a powerful message about disability and inclusion that we need to hear. At Liquid Church, we have a huge heart for kids and families with Special Needs. It's core to who we are as Christ followers.   Why? We are simply following Jesus' example. Did you know that almost 70% of Jesus' miracles involved people with disabilities?! The Bible leaves no doubt: Jesus cares for the disabled. And, He had a unique vision for His church, to create the one place in the world where those with physical, emotional, and intellectual limitations are completely loved. For those who are differently abled, your disability doesn't define you. You were made in the image of God. You are His masterpiece! That defines you. And while God didn't give you your disability or pain, if you give it to God, He will use it for His purpose! He can turn your challenge or your weakness into good.  Watch this message from Pastor Tim Lucas, and discover how God's power is made perfect in our weakness. #LiquidChurch #BestFoodForward #SpecialNeeds

Just Don't Fall (Adapted for Young Readers): A Hilariously True Story of Childhood Cancer and Olympic Greatness by Josh Sundquist Amazon.com Adapted for young readers from his adult memoir, Just Don't Fall is the the hilarious true story about Josh Sundquist's battle with childhood cancer and how he worked his way to making the United States paralympic ski team. The inspiration for the Apple TV show Best Foot Forward! When he was ten years old Josh Sundquist had his leg amputated to treat bone cancer. But this is not a sad story; on the contrary, this memoir is a story of resilience, heart, and most importantly: humor. Young Josh had a lot of adapting to do after he lost his leg. He had to learn how to walk again. He had to accept that he wouldn't be able to try out for the travel soccer team. He knew his life would never be the same again. But when he sees a poster in the hospital elevator advertising skiing classes, he realized all might not be lost. Equal parts heartbreaking and hilarious, Just Don't Fall is Josh's story of surviving cancer with 50/50 odds, learning to be a professional skiier, and making his way to being a bestselling writer and motivational speaker. Inspirational and moving, Josh's story is one that can be appreciated by readers of all ages. About the Author Josh Sundquist is a bestselling author, comedian, Paralympian, and motivational speaker. Josh's internet videos have over one billion views and he has more than four million followers. Josh is an executive producer and writer on the streaming series Best Foot Forward on Apple TV+. The series is inspired by his childhood and his memoir Just Don't Fall. Josh has been featured in The New York Times, Forbes, NPR and CNN. His first memoir, Just Don't Fall, was a National Bestseller and his second memoir We Should Hang Out Sometime was optioned for movie rights by a division of Disney. His debut novel Love and First Sight was published in 2017. Josh's fourth book, Semi-Famous was released in 2022. His books have been translated into German, Italian, and Turkish and have been published in North America, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Turkey, Italy, and Austria. A childhood cancer survivor, Josh is an ambassador for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and makes regular appearances at events and in the media to raise money for children's hospitals across the country. He has been featured on the back of Doritos bags (specifically, Spicy Nacho flavor) for his work on behalf of amputees. He lives with his wife, Ashley near the beach in California.

Over-exposure makes the heart grow fonder, it seems. In the U.S., the movie A Christmas Story (1983) gets played on a loop for twentyfour hours, every single year at Christmas. And people love it! Meanwhile, in the Netherlands most people will probably never have heard about director Bob Clark's festive classic.  It's an episodic family film, centered on Ralphie, a boy who want a BB gun for Christmas. Adventures and larks ensue. And if you've grown up with it, like filmmakers Albert Birney and Kentucker Audley, chances are you'll varry it in your heart with deep, warm feelings. One of the most refreshing cinema experiences of 2021 was the brilliant and charming Strawberry Mansion, by the directing duo Audley and Birney. At least, for Dutch audiences, because in the States it will be released in February 2022. Kentucker also plays the lead. And you may have seen him before in Ain't Them Bodies Saints, or in V/H/S or the intriguing She Dies Tomorrow. But if you haven't seen Strawberry Mansion yet, please, treat yourself! In the episode, we also discuss what it implies when you say a movie "works" or not, watching a Christmas movie when it's nowhere near Christmas and director Bob Clark's other yuletide output.

Subscribe to the podcast via RSS, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher. FEEDBACK The Shades of Magic trilogy by V.E. Schwab (rec’d by Courtney) A Madness of Angels: The Matthew Swift series by Kate Griffin (pen name of Catherine Webb) (rec’d by Danielle) QUESTIONS 1.  Hello my bookish friends from afar who nurture my love for bookish awesomeness. I have an urgent request for something in the literary realm that can let my mind escape the f-ed up craziness I’m currently undergoing with my soon-to-be ex who dropped a big ol’ bomb on me and told me he’s leaving me. I’m in all sorts of personal crisis at the moment and I’d love something to read at night after I tuck my two little girls into bed and have the psychic space to escape the insanity of my situation and dive into another world for a while. I know you typically only do one type of rec per request but I’m asking for two. Here goes: 1) a kick-ass female protagonist who lives from the land, or in a world where a multitude of place-based knowledge and skills serves her well; yet, without enduring rape and all the other crap that tends to be tossed upon this kind of character in literature. I’ve loved living off the land books since I was a kid: e.g., the Little House series, Scott O’Dell’s The Island of the Blue Dolphins, and the entire Jean M. Auel’s Earth’s Children series. I’d love a new-to-me book or, even better, series that can have me rooting for some incredible women. Pie in the sky wish: that there would be a novel or series featuring something like this set on Themyscira featuring Diana and her amazon community. 2) another fabulous female protagonist who gets knocked off her feet by a jerk of a husband who ambushes her with a sudden and unexpected demand for a divorce and all kinds of f-uppery, who then rises up like a phoenix from the devastating flames (I had to say it) in fantastic style and overcomes the many obstacles in her way, eventually sliding into first as she wins the race to financial freedom, independence, and peace within. Bonus if she eventually meets a goddess of a lover who nurtures her tender heart and soul (this protagonist is bi and is kind of over men and their – generalizing here – serious power issues). Always the most bookish love to you both. Thanks in advance if you can help out. And thank you for your super rad, killer, lovely, awesome and amazing podcast made even more wonderful because I love getting to know you both via your feedback and choices of words and the stories you share. It all rocks and what you are creating and sharing is really, really great. -Nicole 2. Hi! I’m a teacher at a rural school and I’m trying to diversify my curriculum. I teach special education and I co-teach in the general education as well at the high school level. I’ve been working on this goal for the last year or so, but I can always use some recommendations to help me along. I usually read books aloud in my specifically SPED classes, and they have enjoyed books like “Boy21” by Matthew Quick, “The Westing Game” by Ellen Raskin, “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins, “Love & First Sight” by Josh Sundquist, and a smattering of short stories from “My True Love Gave to Me” and “Grim” anthologies that I have pulled from in the last couple of years (thanks to Book Riot). Right now, I’m reading them “Whale Talk” by Chris Crutcher, a personal favorite, and my kids are really enjoying that one as well. As you can tell, the reading level varies. Because I read the information aloud to my students, I can get away with some of the higher-leveled books or stories because we spend so much time in discussion. I’d love to see what you have in store for us! -Taylor 3. Hi! I need some help finding good introductions on books about feminism, institutional racism, slavery and honestly, any other social topics to help break through to some of my MAGA family members. I was a little overwhelmed when I walked into the bookstore, so hopefully you guys can help parse down titles to start with. Some shorter titles would probably be best, and non-fiction titles would be great too! Thanks so much for everything, my reading list is much more diverse partly because of this podcast! I appreciate it so much. -Ashle 4. No deadline, but I would love a recommendation soon. I was recently hit with the news that my partner of ten years wants a divorce. I usually go to novels for solace, but my two favorites are Dpt. of Speculation and I Married You for Happiness, and I don’t think they will help right now. I’ve found plenty of self help books, but I’m looking for good stories of people starting over after a divorce or loss, and moving forward with life. Especially if those stories involve people who can’t afford to drop everything and “eat, pray, love” around the world. Thank you, Amanda and Jenn-you’ve recommended so many perfect books in the past, I hope you can help. -KJ 5. Hi ladies, I’m a podcast/audiobook addict. So, naturally, when I’m at work, I’m either listening to Book Riot podcasts, or a book. After hearing Every Heart A Doorway recommended a million times (maybe a slight exaggeration, but probably not much of one…) I FINALLY listened to it and fell in love with Seanan McGuire. I have listened to all of the Every Heart a Doorway series, as well as Sparrow Hill Road and loved them all. Do you have any recommendations for similar authors? I love that her books feel like a fairy tale, while still using familiar language (unlike high fantasy where the language is often unfamiliar). I also appreciated how inclusive the Every Heart a Doorway series is. Thank you so much for all the workday entertainment! -Traci 6. I recently saw the new Star Wars and was unimpressed (to put it mildly) with its idea of queer representation. Could you recommend a fun space opera adventure with actual substantial queer rep as well as POC? I’m already rereading Becky Chambers’ series so I need something new. I’d be open to a romance novel, but nothing too steamy. -Emily 7. This is probably a long shot. I used to be an avid reader, then I had my son who is now 15 months old. I am able to listen to books on audio at work, which has been awesome for getting me back into reading. I’ve been trying to find a book with a specific set of criteria. I really want to find a book with a character that I can really relate to, but in the fantasy genre. I’m 25, so not necessarily YA, but YA is fine, I would love the book to have a protagonist that is a young Mom, with a young child. Where I’m having trouble is finding books that are fantasy, that have this request. I’m really hoping you can help me. I love the Podcast!

Josh Sundquist was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer when he was just 9-years-old and told he had a 50% chance of living. From there he spent one year undergoing chemotherapy and eventually had to have his leg amputated. The doctors, though, declared him cancer-free four years later and then three years after that —Guess what? He was training as a ski racer. Today, he is a Paralympian and he has an absolutely remarkable story. Josh is also a motivational speaker and author of the bestseller Just Don’t Fall. Earlier this season he shot a really cool video with our mutual brand partner, Chase. It was really inspiring. If you go to somoneypodcast.com, you can grab the link to watch it.
