Paula George – or Georgie as she's commonly known – has a story that will blow you away. She has lived the most remarkable life – with the most inspiring mindset – and she's our favourite type of guest, a humble legend. Georgie is a very private person – and her story, till now, has largely gone untold. Her life started on the back foot in Wales. Georgie wasn't just the only person of colour in her village, but also her family. She was abandoned by her mother, forced into foster care and experienced a childhood filled of prejudice and hurt. But she found safety in sport, where she became a star. She played netball and rugby for Wales, then switched to England and became the first black captain of the England Red Roses. She was one of the first professional women's rugby players and eventually went to six World Cups in two sports. She then became the digital content creator for the All Blacks, married a Kiwi and became a Kiwi, had twins, and a cancer diagnosis. Five years ago she was given four to six months, with survival chances at 25% - but Georgie's still here. And now, she's doing incredible work with the Tania Dalton Foundation where she helps Kiwi kids build their own resilience and happiness. And most recently she's become a part owner of The Northern Kahu: the first all-women owned franchise in New Zealand. Georgie doesn't seek the limelight, she had a taste of fame during her rugby days and hated it. It took a lot for her to share her full story with us and we're so grateful she did – it's a story that will help, inspire and entertain.

In episode #114 I'm speaking to Lisa Thompson; a world-class mountaineer, cancer survivor, and someone who has made a habit of tackling life's toughest challenges — both on the mountains and off. She's summited Everest, K2, and completed the Seven Summits, which means she's stood on the highest peak of every continent. But what makes Lisa's story so special isn't just the mountains she's climbed—it's how she's used those experiences to push through fear, adversity, and self-doubt. Lisa's journey into mountaineering started with a bit of defiance, and after battling breast cancer, she didn't just return to climbing — she came back stronger, eventually becoming the second American woman to summit K2. Through her company, Alpine Athletics, she now helps others prepare physically and mentally for their own adventures. Her book, Finding Elevation, has been getting some incredible reviews. Chuck Garcia, CEO of Climb Leadership International, describes it as “beautifully written” and a story anyone facing challenges can relate to. Johanna Garton, author of Edge of the Map, called it “an honest and gripping look at the world of high-altitude mountaineering,” while Garrett Madison, the world's premier Everest guide, highlights how Lisa's writing brings readers into the intimate world of fear, self-discovery, and pushing limits. This is episode #114 and Lisa Thompson!

Last week's edition of the IBJ Podcast featured Chris Gahl, executive vice president and chief marketing officer for Visit Indy, unpacking the strategy for promoting Indianapolis to a worldwide audience during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. As promised, we have a follow-up interview with Gahl this week that is so different from last week's that we needed to carve out a separate space for it. Gahl is one of the most recognizable figures among those who promote Indianapolis—and one of the most important voices for the city's brand of Midwestern hospitality and inclusive values. He's known for his sunny disposition and easy way for expressing enthusiasm for almost any topic. But his adult life was shaped by childhood tragedy—the murder of his father. Thomas E. Gahl, a U.S. probation officer for the Southern District of Indiana, was killed in 1986 by a parolee in Fountain Square. It of course was a catastrophic event for Gahl, his mother and his younger brother, Nick. Even today, he's sorting through the repercussions of the loss of his father. The tragedy reverberated in a different way in 2018 when Gahl was diagnosed with cancer. A father of two boys himself, Chris couldn't help but see the potential for his sons to suffer a similar loss. Under the care of a legend in the Indianapolis medical community, he got a clean bill of health last year. And he generously agreed to talk about the lessons from his cancer journey and his father's death for this week's edition of the podcast. The IBJ Podcast is brought to you by Taft.

Wenora shares her experiences with warmth, humor, and wisdom, offering valuable insights for anyone facing adversity. We delve into the cultural taboos surrounding cancer in her community, the critical role genetics played in her health journey, and why involving loved ones in our health decisions is so essential. Wenora's story goes beyond survival; it's about how she turned her experience into a passion for patient advocacy, making a lasting impact in the cancer community. Key Highlights: 1.

He almost made it on Team USA for two different Olympics, in events that many say make up the best athlete in the world: the decathlon. In this episode of the "Run the Race" podcast - which you can easily subscribe to - I talk to Spud Alford about training for Olympic dreams for almost a decade, a battle with cancer where they gave him 6 months to live (40+ years ago), prayers of healing, God radically changing his life, creating board games revolving around sports, and chasing a world record involving sprint speed even now at nearly 70 years old. (4:57) Spud talks about a conversation with God while at University of Southern Miss and watching Bruce Jenner in the Olympic while working at Sears prompted him to go after the eventually-boycotted 1980 Olympics. He became the 8th highest ranked decathlete in America! (12:14) Overcoming injuries and training again for the 1984 Olympics, even using steroids to do so, he got a diagnosis of deadly and dangerous testicular cancer. Fast forward to a prayer from a stranger, and doctors amazed by his healing. He fell just short of the Olympics. (22:46) Drifting from God for years, he now shares his testimony all over, also played Jesus in a big church production for almost 2 decades, and led now pastors to God. (29:15) Regrets about missing out on the Olympics? Spud also gives us his favorite and worst of the 10 decathlon events, which he focused on during almost his entire 20s in age. He also authored 2 books, explaining what one title "God If You Are Real" really means - it involves tragedy and triumph. (36:19) He's also faced depression, now focused on guarding his thoughts. (40:39) And Spud created a business called Zelosport, creating 7 board games including "finger football" that led to a national championship of that game. (44:25) Now, at 69 years old, Spud continues working out - this time trying to break the world record for his age in the 100 meter dash, hoping to do so at the Masters Olympic Games! How's he training? Spud also talks about the neurology and feeling of speed, running fast. This time around, he'll be glued to the track and field events at the Paris Olympics (I give you my favorite sports I'll be watching too). (52:52) Spud closes us out in prayer.
