1. How To Live Your Own Dreams with Virgin Sport CEO Mary Wittenberg

Enoughness with Lisa Carmen Wang

What if your prosperity was quantified by the number of people you inspired? Or how you overcame in the face of tragedy? Or perhaps in the way you empathize with people daily? If success was measured by your goodness, would you be flourishing? We often think of success as a monetary value or a name on the side of a building, but what if our guest today were to tell you that her success stems from fulfillment? And not necessarily her own. Our guest today is not only inspiring others to find fulfillment in their lives but is using their success to fuel her own fulfillment. Mary Wittenberg is the CEO of Virgin Sport, a movement that is revolutionizing fitness while inspiring people to move together. Mary helps orchestrate large festivals meant to bring people together in hopes that through the power of movement and exercise, she can connect cultures and inspire people to live healthier lifestyles, not only physically but emotionally. Mary regularly accentuates the importance of kindness and empathy in creating a better tomorrow. Everything that is shared at a Virgin Sport festival, whether it be laughter or a healthy hunger for competition, is meant to be echoed throughout communities everywhere, especially after the event ends. Through kind hearts, and a few push-ups, Mary has created an environment that will ineluctably push us into a better tomorrow. “Make the most out of every day. Look forward to tomorrow.
