In this compelling episode of Crafting a Meaningful Life, Mary Crafts interviews Bill Schuffenhauer, a former Olympian who shares his remarkable journey from adversity to triumph. Known for his resilience and determination, Bill recounts how he overcame a tumultuous childhood in Utah, marked by drugs, foster care, and low expectations, to become a celebrated Olympic athlete. He discusses his switch from track and field to bobsledding, emphasizing the importance of intention and accountability in crafting a meaningful life. This inspirational conversation focuses on the mindset shifts required to overcome failures and embrace challenges, resonating with listeners who seek to transform their own life narratives. Bill talks about his struggle with identity post-retirement and how adopting new success principles helped him navigate through life's adversities. We explore key themes such as taking accountability, the importance of a supportive community, and the powerful practice of gratitude in healing and personal growth. Whether you're setting New Year intentions or seeking a path out of a personal slump, this episode offers practical wisdom and motivation. About the Guest: Bill Schuffenhauer is a former Olympian and Olympic Silver Medalist who competed in the sport of bobsled. Despite a challenging upbringing that involved foster homes and exposure to drugs and crime through his family, Bill turned his life around to become a world-class athlete. He has represented the United States at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, winning a silver medal in bobsledding. After retiring from sports, Bill experienced a period of personal turmoil but rediscovered his purpose through programs like TMIC and Jack Canfield's success principles. Today, Bill is a motivational speaker and life coach, helping others to craft a meaningful life by design. Key Takeaways: Victim Mentality vs. Accountability: Emphasizing the transformative power of taking 100% accountability for one's life, as opposed to blaming external circumstances. Power of Intention: Establishing intentions rather than resolutions for meaningful changes in life. Embracing Challenges: Viewing failures as learning opportunities and stepping stones toward future success. Consistent Practice: The significance of daily practices in cultivating success principles and maintaining a growth-oriented mindset. Gratitude and Healing: How adopting gratitude can initiate healing and foster resilience in facing life's challenges. Notable Quotes: "Why not me? If that person can do it, then I can do it." "Failure is what got me to this point. You have to look at failure as a learning tool and not something that's holding you back." "What is the most important conversation that we're not having with ourselves?" "As soon as you decide to have gratitude, that's when the healing will start." "E plus R equals O. You have an event plus your reaction or your response, we can then dictate the outcome or not dictate the outcome."

This season we are exploring all the different ways the David Eccles School of Business has impacted our alums, and today we are exploring the benefit of generational engagement with the Eccles School and the U, for businesses, communities, and families. We're back for more stories about the impact the David Eccles School of Business has on their lives and careers, and for this episode, host Frances Johnson is joined by Jeff Young, Executive Vice President at YESCO. In this episode, host Frances Johnson is joined by Jeff Young, Executive Vice President at YESCO, a custom electric sign company. Frances talks to Jeff about his multi-generational family business, its origins, and its evolution, including key projects like the 2002 Winter Olympics and the massive screen installation at the Las Vegas Sphere. Jeff discusses the deep-rooted connection between his family and the University of Utah, including a 100 year legacy of family alumni. He also emphasizes the impact of the David Eccles School of Business on their success. Jeff highlights the importance of continuous learning, leveraging networks, and investing in education for the company's growth. This episode underscores the reciprocal relationship between YESCO and the Eccles School, illustrating how education and community engagement drive long-term business success.Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University.fm.Eccles Business Buzz is proud to be selected by FeedSpot as one of the Top 70 Business School podcasts on the web. Learn more at https://podcast.feedspot.com/us_business_school_podcasts. Episode Quotes:Why investing in the U is a growth strategy for business owners [25:34] If you go to the Small Business Administration statistics, we know that businesses just don't… You have a higher chance of failing than not. And with the headwind we have in our economy, in our world, you've got to pursue every possible avenue to create a successful trajectory. And that means hitting all channels. If you are not investing in yourselves and in your organizations and your people, you're going to fail, probably. And the university… I can't think of a more beautiful, well-situated campus, meaning the business school campus, a set of buildings, and a group of more capable people to help host events, and a more capable group of people who can help bring material and content to the training than the University of Utah. I mean, I'm practically looking at it out my window. I'm facing north. Having grown up in, basically, in the University of Utah neighborhood, I have a real deep feeling of love and appreciation for everything that you do and the value you bring. And so, we, as an organization, you just wonder where we'd be without the benefit of having this university so close and all the insights, thoughts, skills, aptitudes that have come because of that.How Jeff's ties to the U and the Eccles School help sustain a multi-generation family business[10:02] Frances Johnson: I'd love to hear from you how your connection to the U and to the Eccles School has helped sustain your family business into so many generations.[10:13] Jeff Young: That's really a great question. Without the knowledge of how family businesses operate within the state, we've been able to meet dozens and dozens of other family businesses that strangely are also centennial-long businesses, and it's amazing to know that our grandfathers knew each other. Our grandmothers knew each other. Our fathers and mothers knew each other. And in current generations, a lot of them have gone through the University of Utah. And so, it's great to have the familiarity and that point of reference. And so, the business building in particular, we know where to go. We know who the people are, and it just feels like home to us. And we look around the room and see everyone else in that conference, and we say, "Yeah, we started here. We're still here. And we continue to decide to be here for all the right reasons." So, that continuing education and connection is vital. On how Eccles School equipped Jeff for success[4:00] The challenges we're facing today are much different than they were when we went to school. But the aptitude to want to learn, to apply, and to continue to learn and apply remains true. As recently as this morning, I had my face in a book. I've just purchased it. I've got 90 people coming to a training next Tuesday. This training has to be fresh and to the point, and pertinent to what they're facing. It's a sales group, right? And you say, "Okay, here's some additional tools that you can apply in your life to make your lives better." And the idea that we're not fearful of learning more is we've got to continue the learning and the application of that learning. Every day, every week, every month. That spirit of that is as alive today as it was when I was walking in and out, it's a new building, walking in and out those buildings that are long since gone. It's as fresh today as it ever will be. There's no way that I could do any of that today as well as I am if it hadn't been for the education I received at the University of Utah. There's just no way.Show Links:Jeff Young | LinkedInJeff Young | Family Business Magazine ProfileYESCO.comDavid Eccles School of Business (@ubusiness) | InstagramUndergraduate Scholars ProgramsRising Business LeadersEccles Alumni Network (@ecclesalumni) | Instagram Eccles Experience Magazine

It takes a village to raise an Olympic hopeful. And sometimes, that village has to change ZIP codes. Brooklyn DePriest is a snowboarder for Team USA, hoping to make his Olympic debut at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Games. He competes in slopestyle. Brooklyn grew up in Northern California in a Sacramento-area suburb called Rocklin. The DePriests spent their winter weekends in Tahoe. Brooklyn's snowboarding talent quickly became apparent as competitions would result in him standing on podiums. By the time he was 12, his parents were advised that their son had the potential to go pro and maybe even go to the Olympics. The catch? He'd need to move for more specialized coaching. The problem? The entire DePriest family loved their home and neighborhood in Rocklin. "There were probably about 10 families involved in the neighborhood," Brooklyn DePreist said. We would ride to school on our bikes and skateboards every single day. We all played the same sport, so we were on the same sports teams." Neither of Brooklyn's parents came from a winter sports background. "The coaches are telling us, like, he has real talent, but we're like, does he? I don't know," Courtney DePriest, Brooklyn's mom, said. The DePriests made the tough decision to relocate to Vail, Colorado, where both their sons could attend a good school while Brooklyn pursued his Olympic goals. Seven years later, Brooklyn DePriest is a contender to compete at the 2026 Winter Olympics. This is one of the most candid conversations I've ever had with an athlete's parents about the sacrifice entire families make to follow Olympic dreams. On this Dying to Ask: The Road to Milan-Cortina: How the DePriests made the call to go all-in on Brooklyn's snowboarding future when he was only 12 The pressure young athletes feel to perform when their parents sacrifice so much How Olympic hopefuls handle the mental health challenges of injuries Learn tricks to calm your brain while your body is healing And did they or didn't they?

What happens when your entire identity is built on being the best in the world? For Jana Pittman, one of Australia's most famous athletes, the singular goal of Olympic gold was repeatedly torn away by devastating injuries and gut-wrenching losses. You might think her biggest pivot was swapping the running track for the bobsled, becoming one of the very few athletes in history to compete in both the Summer and Winter Olympics. But that wasn't it. Her real pivot was walking away entirely from being an elite athlete to become a doctor - all while raising six children. In this episode of Pivot Club, Sarah Davidson speaks with Jana about this massive career change. They unpack how you cope with failure when your mindset is "silver is the first loser", and how you go from being one of the best in the world to a complete beginner back at the bottom of the ladder, surrounded by people half your age. Jana shares the unfiltered story about how this profound pivot emerged from a period of intense personal and professional struggle - through divorce, miscarriages, failed exams and the financial lows of moving back into her own garage to make ends meet. Join us for a raw lesson in resilience, a look into the unseen "messy middle," and a powerful reminder that your lowest moments can be the fuel for your greatest chapter yet.

The Fact: Those are Figure Skating jumps. In competitive Ice Dancing, athletes are actually forbidden from performing these types of multi-rotation jumps. It is a common mix-up, but the two are separate disciplines! Surfing as a “One-Off” Showcase The Claim: Andrew thought Surfing was a one-time showcase sport for the Summer Olympics, similar to breakdancing. The Fact: Unlike breakdancing (which was only for Paris 2024), Surfing is a permanent Olympic sport. It debuted in Tokyo 2020, appeared in Paris 2024, and is already confirmed for the Los Angeles 2028 Games. The History of Ski Jumping The Claim: Luke suggested that ski jumping started at the Calgary 1988 Olympics with Eddie the Eagle. The Fact: Ski jumping is actually one of the original Winter Olympic sports. It has been in every Winter Games since the very first one in 1924 (Chamonix, France)—64 years before the Calgary Games. When the Games “Staggered” (The 2-Year Gap) The Claim: Andrew and Luke discussed the Games being “staggered” (Summer and Winter in different years) starting after 1988. The Fact: The change actually happened after 1992. Both the Summer and Winter Games were held in 1992 (Albertville and Barcelona). The first time the Winter Olympics were held in their own separate year was Lillehammer 1994. Canada's 2010 Gold Medal Record The Claim: Luke estimated that Canada won about 10 gold medals in Vancouver 2010. The Fact: Canada actually won 14 gold medals in 2010. At the time, this set a world record for the most gold medals ever won by a single country at any Winter Olympics.

So, just imagine.Juste à côté du futur site des Jeux Olympiques d'hiver de 2026, des chercheurs ont trouvé un champ d'empreintes de dinosaures. Right next to the future site of the 2026 Winter Olympics, researchers found a field of dinosaur footprints.On parle de l'un des plus importants au monde, vieux de plus de 200 millions d'années. We are talking about one of the most important in the world, more than 200 million years old.Alors, qu'est-ce qu'il faut retenir? So, what should we remember?Premièrement, c'est l'ampleur de la trouvaille. Firstly, it is the scale of the find.Le site se trouve dans le Parc National du Stelvio et il s'étend sur des centaines de mètres. The site is located in the Stelvio National Park and stretches over hundreds of meters.C'est un photographe qui l'a repéré sur une paroi rocheuse super abrupte. It was a photographer who spotted it on a very steep rock face.On parle de traces qui ont 210 millions d'années. We're talking about traces that are 210 million years old.C'est juste énorme. It's just huge.Deuxièmement, les dinosaures qu'on a identifiés. Secondly, the dinosaurs that have been identified.La majorité des empreintes, qui peuvent atteindre 40 centimètres quand même, et bien elles appartiennent à des Prosaauropodes. The majority of the footprints, which can still reach 40 centimeters, well, they belong to Prosauropods.Ils se déplaçaient sur deux pattes et avec de sacrées griffes. They moved on two legs and had serious claws.Selon le paléontologue Cristiano Dal Sasso, l'organisation des traces n'est pas du tout un hasard. According to the paleontologist Cristiano Dal Sasso, the organization of the traces is not at all a coincidence.On voit des empreintes parallèles, ce qui suggère des troupeaux se déplaçant de manière synchronisée. We see parallel footprints, which suggests herds moving in a synchronized manner.En bref, cette découverte c'est bien plus que de simples fossiles, c'est une véritable fenêtre sur la vie sociale de ces dinosaures. In short, this discovery is much more than simple fossils, it is a real window into the social life of these dinosaurs. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.
