Description

Tim Shriver has spent his life championing inclusion, not from the sidelines but in the arena. As the longtime chairman of Special Olympics, he believes the athletes he serves aren't just participants - they’re teachers. In this episode, Tim Green and his son Troy sit down with Tim Shriver to explore what Special Olympics athletes can teach us about freedom, dignity, and the power of being fully seen. From childhood lessons at the Kennedy dinner table to transformative moments in gyms across America, this is a conversation about flipping the script and learning what it really means to live without fear or judgment.
