Approach

It would have been easy to share Mino’s journey as a straightforward recovery story: 18 months from his accident he started and completed his MBA. He got 4th in the Crossfit WheelWOD Open. He’s gone skiing, skydiving, and canoeing — which are pretty scary even when you CAN use your legs.

But we wanted to uncover a deeper story by asking a simple question: how?

And it was this question that grounded us, and allowed Mino to share an honest look at the most difficult time of his life in hopes that he could make a difference in someone elses life.
