Ryan Wolfington learned firsthand that huge success might not bring contentment. He sailed through life with everything—family wealth, a taste for parties, and high ambition that led to his own riches—but he felt empty. Fortunately, he found purpose in helping prepare youth for healthy, meaningful lives centered on listening to their own inner guidance but also steered by those with lived experience. He tells Spanny how the organic growth of his Inspiring Children Foundation came to intertwine with the parallel philosophy and efforts of the singer Jewel. This episode ties to Talks 331 with Cherrial Odell, a graduate and now an intern for ICF, as well as to the Spaniard's series on Jewel's memoir ”Never Broken,” Books 1216 through 1220. ...

This is the first interview in a special series spotlighting the Inspiring Children Foundation. I'm starting off the series with co-founder Ryan Wolfington.  Ryan and I met during a social hour of the Mindful Leadership Summit in Washington DC where I was doing interviews for the Meditate This! Podcast.  I'm standing at my table just cleaning up and putting away my mic, and this lone wolf appears out of the crowd and asks what I'm up to, and the next thing you know we've been standing there talking for about an hour and half.  I found a lot in common with Ryan, certainly a passion for meditation and mindfulness, eating plant based, but something about him seemed a little off.  You know different from most people I've met.   As I talked to him over the next couple days of the summit, it became apparent that Ryan operates completely on intuition, doing what he feels is right, with little or no agenda.  Quite honestly, until I sat down with him for this interview two months after that initial meeting, he was a total enigma.  But then I learned that Ryan used to be a much different person, perhaps more "normal" if you will.     He grew up in Philadelphia, part of a big Irish Catholic family, and from a young age he and his twin brother Sean were a on a path to greatness, full of ambition.  Ryan aspired to be a titan in business, but something got in the way if his aspirations.  That something was what you might call the abyss, a feeling of nothingness, emptiness, or meaninglessness in life.  He was a 26 year old, president of a company making almost a half million dollars on track to achieve everything he ever dreamed of and then found himself lying in bed one day, feeling like he was dying crying out to god for help. After an event you'll hear about in this interview, Ryan examined his life with a deep heartfelt sadness and honesty.  He eventually harnessed the same energy he had once used on his way to becoming powerful in business, to becoming a complete human being, living by intuition only and with deep sense of meaning.  He underwent a personal transformation that has led him to living with peace, happiness, and joy.  Meaningful relationships are important to Ryan, and we start off this interview talking about the earliest and most meaningful relationship in his life with his twin brother Sean.  In Part 1 we cover his personal transformation and then continue in Part 2 discussing the start of the Foundation and the challenges along the way.  There is a lot in here, a lot of insight, wisdom, emotion, and honesty. And by the end you will see clearly why the Foundation has positively affected the lives of so many children.  Something they often say in the Foundation is if you do right you feel right.  It's as simple as that.   And nothing sums up the message of this interview better than that.   So please welcome, Ryan Wolfington, co-founder of Inspiring Children Foundation.  Thanks for listening, PF www.DeepSitPodcast.com

In Their Own Words - An Introduction to the Inspiring Children Foundation Today we are kicking off a series of interviews spotlighting an amazing organization called the Inspiring Children Foundation.  You are going to hear from a group of inspiring individuals, many of whom are just teenagers.  But let me be the first to tell you that these "kids" have wisdom beyond their years.    The Foundation was started by Ryan Wolfington and renowned Las Vegas tennis coach Marty Hennessy, and is designed to provide children, many of whom come from difficult and disadvantaged life situations, the tools necessary to become their very best in academics, athletics, interpersonal skills, and leadership positions.   They are becoming professionals in life. It is done using a variety of tools including mentoring, project-driven learning, entrepreneurship, a focus on education and athletics, and a special emphasis on mindfulness and self-awareness.   It started about 16 years ago, with the simple goal of helping one child make the right life choice of staying in school and staying out of trouble.  There was no Foundation or even a vision of what was to come.  It was simply Marty and Ryan showing interest in a child who was taking tennis lessons, a young teenager named Frideric, who they saw as extremely vulnerable to peer pressure and potentially making some poor life choices.      Since those early days, the impact from the Foundation is nothing short of amazing.   Thousands of kids have been served by the Foundation. There is a select group of children chosen for the what's called the Leadership Program.  Ninety-Five percent of them have earned academic and athletic scholarships to colleges such as: Stanford, Princeton, Oxford, Yale, Georgetown University, Harvard, University of Pennsylvania-Wharton School of Business,  Vanderbilt, United States Air Force Academy, The Citadel, Villanova, Williams, Vassar and many others.  The Foundation is funded through donation, but I know first hand from being there that it thrives on volunteering and sweat equity, if you will, on the part of parents, the children, and community supporters.  They operate a very tight budget and the return on donation is high.    From the $3 million donated to the foundation over the years, over $18 MILLION IN COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS have been earned by the youth.  What you are going to pick up immediately is the clarity with which these kids see life.  They have learned to trust in themselves, and have become leaders among their friends, families, and communities.  It makes me think about a growing concern that the education system in this country is broken, and kids are not well prepared for the life ahead of them, much less able to handle the moral and ethical challenges they will confront in high school and college.  But after several visits and spending time with these kids, my hope is renewed that the blueprint drawn up by the Foundation can set a new standard for educating and preparing youth to be whole humans, capable of deep and meaningful relationships, living with mindful awareness, in the pursuit of wisdom.  And to that end, the Fuller Graduate School of Psychology is in the process of documenting the foundation's success and creating a curriculum that can scale even further.  Currently the Foundation's program is being duplicated by 22 organizations around the world.  You may have noticed that the music behind the opening montage and the one you will hear as we head out is by the singer-songwriter Jewel, who took notice of the Foundation and how they align with the principles she personally developed to navigate a very challenging early life of her own.  She started a non-profit organization called Jewel Never Broken to teach these lessons and has now partnered with Inspiring Children to provide online resources for mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and wellness, through her site, JewelNeverBroken.com.    So I'll let some of the kids take us out on this episode with their thoughts on the Foundation and how it has affected their lives.  Then tune in for my conversation with co-founder Ryan Wolfington, whose fascinating and insightful story of personal transformation is where this all got started.  Thanks for joining me on Deep Sit and I hope you enjoy my interview series spotlighting the Inspiring Children Foundation.  Thanks for listening, PF All interviews will be available on www.DeepSitPodcast.com
