In this episode of the Plant Trainers Podcast, we share stories of inspiration in a time where we think many of us need to be inspired. Inspiration can be found in all different shapes and sizes. Sometimes we realize that we are being inspired and sometimes we only notice that it occurred when looking back. The best kind of inspiration is one that is completely unexpected. We have all had our turns to inspire and be inspired. Many of us touch the lives of others in a meaningful way on a daily basis. We don't always get thanked, but if our intention is to create positive energy and help other people we will always get something back whether we realize it or not. If everyone is continuously inspiring and paying it forward, quality of life will begin to improve. We share three stories that are like colourful threads in the fabric of life. From impacting students to engaging with other like-minded educators, come along with us as we also imagine riding bikes through the ups and downs of life with Adam and the late Sammy.
