On this episode of Teeter Talks, I am thrilled to be accompanied by the inspiring Joshua Cassidy! Joshua is not just a Paralympic athlete; he's also an artist, motivational speaker, coach, and devoted father. With an impressive 31 Canadian championship titles in wheelchair racing across various distances, including marathons, he's left his mark on prestigious events like the Boston Marathon. Beyond the track, Josh spreads positivity through motivational talks and coaching, all while nurturing his artistic talents with a BAA in Illustration. Fueled by the belief in limitless potential, he's on a mission to uplift, lead and inspire others to chase their dreams. Join us today as we dive into these topics:

  • Reflecting on childhood memories and Joshua's journey with neuroblastoma diagnosis as an infant, illuminating the transformative perspective it granted him.
  • Discovering wheelchair racing in highschool and Josh’s journey in taking it to the next level.
  • Recognizing the significance of self-awareness in leadership across all roles, fostering collaboration, and exemplifying authentic humanity in leadership.
  • Discovering harmony in life and mastering the art of self-sufficiency while embracing the power of collaboration.
