Most people don't go that route, but that was my story." (Brad Jensen) "It was listening to stories of people who are really authentic and shared that they had a darker past and overcame things that made me realize that where I came from did not determine where I was going unless I let it." (Maria Ayne) "It's those little chips, those little steps at a time, that seem so meaningless. We don't realize how much they compound." (Chase Chewning) "If you're not growing, you're dying. [...] No matter what your past was and how lucky you think you are or deserving, you have to keep moving." (Maria Ayne) "If you don't know who that person is you're looking for, just build that person." (Chase Chewning)   About the Guests Brad Jensen is the owner and CEO of Key Nutrition.
