The Size Up Episode 25. Adapt and Overcome

Pip’s guest this week is living his mantra of Adapt and Overcome. Gary Weiland was a Firefighter in Texas for 7 years when he experienced a series of very unfortunate events. His leg was amputated just below his knee. Gary decided that this tragedy was not going to end his career and passion for fighting fire. 10 months and 6 days after his amputation, he was back on the Fire Truck, full-duty, no restrictions. Gary’s taken his life of service to a whole new level, by proving that nothing is impossible. He has become the first amputee to qualify for the semi finals of NBC’s American Ninja Warrior. He also competes in the paralympics representing team USA, is a children's author and motivational speaker. Gary’s story of perseverance and his overall positive attitude are on display from the very beginning of the interview. Pip is also joined on this podcast by his younger son, Dex. He is a huge fan of Gary and has watched his epic run on ANW several times. Gary’s story will have you asking yourself that question. What’s my SIZE UP???
