David Shurna and Tom Lillig co-authored the book, What’s Within You: Your Roadmap to Living Life with No Barriers and they both co-founded, No Barriers USA. David is also the Executive Director and Tom is the Director of Account Management and the Board President. Their start goes back 17 years ago when the two of them decided it was time to create an organization that had a profound impact on the lives of others and the ability to shift one’s life path forever. There are no barriers to what you want to achieve. Find out more about David & Tom in this week’s episode!
Key Takeaways
Why did David & Tom write a book? “It’s part of being human to struggle. We all have experienced it.” What inspired David & Tom to start no barriers 17 years ago? J.R. is featured in this book! “What’s in you is stronger, way stronger, than what’s in your way” J.R. remembers meeting with a blind boy who had such a unique outlook on life and how he believed his blindness was the best thing to happen to him! Everything in life starts with a vision, but what do David & Tom mean by this? “In times of great darkness, the vision you have is what will fuel you through.” Just being able to open up and share the struggles you’re going through, and finding out others feel the same, really helps build connection and community in profound ways. Give someone a powerful moment that they can point back to and an ability to recognize that’s what changed them as a leader. “You have to know your why. Your core why”. How can you make people feel like they matter? Not everyone is going to elevate the world and start a great non-profit, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be incredibly passionate about the world we’re building and the roles we’re in. What makes effective teams? The ability to be vulnerable is a key to having people feel safe and like they matter.
