SUCCESS with Olympian Kim Vandenburg

“Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.” ― Winston S. Churchill


Hosts Kenneth Jeon and Brigitte Jia interview Olympic Bronze Medalist, Kim Vandenburg focusing on the theme of success. Kim says that one has to fail to succeed and explains what she learned from her failures. Having fun is critical to success and she makes sure the students she teaches are happy, enjoying the process, and empowered. Giving 100% effort and learning from mistakes is the meaning of success for Kim. With swimming, she has made life-long friends from around the world. A chapter is read from Be the Star You Are!® for Teens by Dr. Bernie Siegel where he encourages readers to do what will make you happy and success will follow. Arjin Claire offers a segment of Innovation Nation where he explains why wars have helped nations overcome obstacles to survive including the telegraph, longer-range weapons, ironclad warships, naval mines, the Gatling gun, the first ambulance, the Space Age, Velcro, and vaccines. Innovations lead to success in a multitude of different ways, and more are constantly on the horizon. Failure is the best teacher to success.

Happiness is success. A successful life is your choice.” Cynthia Brian
