On any given day in Marietta, Georgia, men line up for a haircut from Travis Sanders.

But what draws them in and liberates them to wait isn't simply getting their hair styled. It's connection, encouragement and a powerful reminder that hardship does not get the final word. Let me explain.

What would you do if you knew today was your last?

At nine years old, that wasn't a hypothetical question for me. It was my reality.

After being burned on 100% of my body in a gasoline explosion, I was given less than a 1% chance to survive the first night. Although I survived that night, and the following five months in the hospital, the prospect of death never faded. It felt closest, though, on the nights before surgery.

Because burned skin doesn't grow back, doctors had to take skin from one part of my body and graft it onto another. In my case, the only usable donor site was my scalp. So more than a dozen times, they took skin from my scalp and transplanted it, piece by piece, across my body.

Each surgery carried the very real risk that this could be the last.

To alleviate my anxiety and sadness, the night before became a celebration. My parents and siblings would come, we'd eat pizza, drink milkshakes, stay up late. Sometimes they'd bring gifts. On those nights, they did everything possible to diminish the fear and elevate me.

So let me ask you again: If tonight were your last, how would you spend it?

Erik Weihenmayer is an adventurer, bestselling author, and motivational speaker… but he's perhaps best known as the first blind person to summit Mount Everest. After losing his vision as a teenager, Erik refused to let blindness define his limits. Instead, he became a world-class climber, kayaker, and co-founder of No Barriers—a global movement helping people turn adversity into possibility.

Today, Erik shares how losing his sight reshaped his identity, how climbing became both his passion and his teacher, and how summiting Everest was never a solo achievement but a testament to trust, teamwork, and community. He opens up about learning to navigate fear, why saying "yes" to challenge is the doorway to growth, and how every one of us (regardless of circumstance!) can live a No Barriers life.

My friends, if you've ever felt limited by your circumstances, this conversation is for you. You'll leave inspired to rethink what's possible, encouraged to lean into community rather than go it alone, and reminded that your greatest obstacles might just become the foundation for your greatest purpose.

In a world overflowing with pessimism, cynicism, and negativity, what might happen if we chose something different? What might change if we instead stepped into life with hope, optimism, faith?

I get to see what that looks like almost every day through the life of my daughter, Grace.

She lives with a powerful posture toward every aspect of life: Yes.

Let me explain.

Masami Sato is the Founder and CEO of B1G1 (Buy1Give1), a global giving movement that has helped thousands of businesses turn everyday transactions into acts of generosity. A two-time TEDx speaker and best-selling author, Masami has helped inspire more than 394 million acts of kindness worldwide.

Today, Masami shares how a lonely childhood led her to travel the world with little money and even fewer words, how witnessing both poverty and generosity reshaped her understanding of happiness, and how holding her newborn daughter sparked the realization that none of us are too small to make a difference. She explains the simple but powerful idea behind B1G1: what if everyday actions, even something as small as buying a cup of coffee, could change someone else's life?

My friends, you'll leave this conversation inspired by the power of small acts, reminded that generosity isn't reserved for the wealthy or powerful, and encouraged to start making a difference today rather than waiting for someday.

Ten years ago this week, ON FIRE was released.

When the book first went out into the world, I wasn't expecting bestseller lists, translations into a dozen languages, or a feature film. My hope was far simpler: to honor the people who saved my life.

In sharing their stories, my hope was simple: to remind readers that they, too, could be part of someone else's miracle.

Because what made these heroes remarkable wasn't supernatural power. It was their decision to use their lives to elevate someone else's.

A superpower available to all of us.

My hope was that readers would recognize the heroes in their own story—and then choose to become one in someone else's.

And yet, something remarkable happened. Let me explain.
