A Story of Triumph Over Adversity
- Have you ever worried about losing a job?
- Is an extended bike ride on your bucket list?
- Do you desire to write a book someday?
- Do assumed constraints limit your potential?
Walsh answered yes to all and shares his story of an improbable journey to self-discovery and resolve.
At age 56, unsure what to do with his life after being laid off from his job, Walsh stepped away from corporate life and cycled into the heart of America. From September 2018 to July 2019, he rode his bicycle 7,300 miles through 18 states and 528 towns.
Seeing America Up Close, one pedal rotation at a time, Walsh uncovers that cycling was a way to understand that the true meaning of a life well-lived is the journey.
Lessons from the Road:
- Always Dream Big
- Set Goals
- Take Risks
- Believe in Yourself
- Put in the Work
- Enjoy the Journey
- Keep Your Eye on the Prize, but Don’t Let it Consume You!
