In this week's episode, we shine the spotlight on people who are helping projects soar -- whether it's a tribute to planes or precious birds of prey. Plus, inspiring work from a man who refused to listen to the word "no."
Segments Include:
- The Purpose and Beauty of Birds of Prey
- They are two of the most under-appreciated groups around -- birds of prey and the people who dedicate their lives to helping them. Find out what made Carol McCorkle and her husband change careers to educate us on the plight of raptors, and see how their Avian Reconditioning Center has become a big part of their outreach.
- The Power of Persistence
- It's the definitive American success story. See a need, fill it and make millions. Of course, it's never that easy. But it can be done. Patrick Gottsch is living proof. Eight years of having doors slammed in his face didn't keep this former farmer from building a global media network.
- The Sky's the Limit
- What would you do if you had all the money in the world and a whole lifetime to spend it? Kermit Weeks realized early on that for him, the sky's the limit. Literally. He now owns the largest private airplane collection in the world. But it wasn't until recently that he realized the planes were just a vehicle to help him reach his true destiny.
- Sliding the Slopes
- GB's Wendy Choiji hits the slopes to show how people who've spent decades in wheelchairs are zipping down mountains and embracing their need for speed.
