More On Nik
On June 23, 2013, Nik completed yet another life-long dream, this one 6 years in the making, becoming the first person to cross the Grand Canyon on a wire. His network partners, Discovery Channel, allowed Nik to undertake the walk in the Wallenda family tradition, completely untethered, and broke new ground as a network, broadcasting the event live in 183 countries. At a height of 1,500 ft above the Little Colorado River, Nik faced the challenges of wind gusts measured at 48 miles per hour, optical illusions of the canyon walls, and a dusty and precariously moving cable. Viewers listened breathlessly as Nik described the intense conditions he faced to Terry, his father and safety coordinator, and his Uncle Mike, his lead engineer, and also as he thanked God and prayed for peace in the midst of adversity as he traveled the distance of 1,300 hundred feet across. After nearly 23 minutes on the cable and realizing the end was in sight, he began to thank those that had made the walk possible, before kneeling to the cable, saluting his fans, and sprinting in the final distance to the waiting arms of family and friends. Through television and other media outlets, the event reached an audience of 23 million in the U.S. along, and millions more worldwide, setting viewing and social media records in the process. Revealing only days later the added adversity of battling and being treated for a severe cold the day of the event, Nik once again exhibited his motto, Never Give Up, and continued in his mission to inspire those around the world to pursue their dreams.

More On Pastor Chad Veach
While we remain on high alert through the Summer and Coronavirus fatigue firmly sets in, we are bringing you one of the most frequently sought-out voices in times of crisis — globally-renowned faith figure, bestselling author and pastor of LA’s fastest-growing young adult church (first held services in LA at nightclub 1 Oak!), Chad Veach. Timely, as he redefines what modern leadership actually is at work, with friends, and at home. He boldly challenges the archaic prototype that you must be authoritarian, feared above respected, work-obsessed. (I saw a recent study that showed Americans are working more during quarantine, extended hours at home, despite the absence of long commutes, meetings and social events.)
With a forward by the world’s defacto business authority, John Maxwell, and rave endorsements from moguls Ed Bastian/ Delta Airlines CEO, Kourtney Kardashian, DeVon Franklin, and more, the book outlines unique practices seldom touted by the world’s most successful— i.e. Literally scheduling in time to be unproductive, essential self-efficacy beliefs to counter negative spirals (especially in isolation), etc. Whether the team you lead is you and your spouse/ family, or virtual team of thousands— it explicitly starts with you.
With a disarming prominence across Hollywood (Justin & Hailey Bieber, Chris & Katherine Pratt, the Kardashians, Rickie Fowler, Tim Tebow, etc.), Chad’s family first became the focal point of a tattoo craze when stars like Bieber, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, got “G” tattoos for Chad’s oldest daughter, Georgia, who suffers from a rare life-threatening brain disease. The most poignant detail here is that Chad maintains an unshakeable faith and hope for a future full of promise, which we could really use a dose of right now.
