Join us for a night of stories, stigmas, and strategies about the power of the mind for health, high-performance, and evolution of self.
This event is not about tragedy to triumph, it is about the human experience of learning how to accept ourselves and life as it is, as we step into the unknown to discover ourselves, our dreams, and our potential.Â
Oh, and... lightning strikes, amputations, grief, gold medals, joy, and rebirth –nothing is off limits.
We are thrilled to share this exciting and informative event with you all!

Tyler, a bilateral below-knee amputee, lost both legs in a skydiving accident in 2017. After years of hospital visits, drugs, rehab Tyler is now relearning skydiving, wing-suiting, surfing and snowboarding. In 2020, Tyler became the first bilateral amputee wingsuit pilot in the world. Tyler won Bronze in the 2021 US Open Surf Championships, and just a few weeks ago won Gold in the 2022 Paralympic Games
Adam enjoys to move fast in the mountains, covering as much terrain as possible - skiing with snow gear in winter, running shoes or rock shoes in summer. Adam is a world record holder with multiple international ultramarathon podiums, multiple first ascents, and speed records on the trails and peaks around the Rocky Mountains.
Adam's journey as a mental health advocate has been directly impacted by his background in the outdoors. Following a mountaineering accident where he fell over 200-feet in 2016 and the death of his wife in an avalanche in 2020, Adam's passion stems from his own experiences with trauma.
