Report: Unstoppable at Bold
A special section of the Bold conference was devoted to stories of resilience
When it comes to inspiring business owners, it would be difficult to improve upon the powerful ‘Unstoppable’ segment of the 2021 Bold conference, featuring amazing stories of six entrepreneurs who demonstrated tremendous grit, resilience and creativity in growing their businesses.
Logan Aldridge lost his arm at the age of 13 in a wakeboarding rope accident, but refused to let that determine his path, going on to become a Crossfit competitor, coach, and co-founder of the Adaptive Training Academy (ATA), where he serves as the director of training.
ATA supplies equipment and training to enable people with disabilities to undertake a wider range of exercises.
CEO and co-founder of Boxed, Chieh Huang, reminded the audience that anything is possible through his humorous journey of turning his company into a success after beginning in his garage, and now reaching annual revenue over US$100m and a CEO rating of 98 out of 100.
Alison Hadden used the latest psychological research and drew from her own personal experience battling advanced triple-negative breast cancer to explore why humans avoid the topic of death, the motivation behind her No Time To Waste project.
Through a combination of wit, intensity, and insight, Hadden challenged the audience to confront this universal inevitability head-on in pursuit of a highly intentional life, focused on gratitude, human connection and joy.
