Why would anybody in his right mind want to jump on a sled and hurl himself down an icy mountain at over 80 miles per hour? Get to know The Luge Man, Ruben Gonzalez, in this episode to find out why. At the age of 21, Ruben Gonzalez took up the sport of luge and started training for the Olympics. Soon after, he made his Olympic dream come true and, at 47, became the first person ever to compete in four Winter Olympics in four different decades! Ruben joins host, Dr. Tracey Jones, to share his epic story with us and how his experiences made him the incredible leader he is now. He gives his insights on what it takes to pay the price of leadership, how to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, and, with his book, The Courage to Succeed, provides wisdom on having the heart to endure and stay in the game long enough to learn the skills and win.
