Masami Sato is the Founder and CEO of B1G1 (Buy1Give1), a global giving movement that has helped thousands of businesses turn everyday transactions into acts of generosity. A two-time TEDx speaker and best-selling author, Masami has helped inspire more than 394 million acts of kindness worldwide.

Today, Masami shares how a lonely childhood led her to travel the world with little money and even fewer words, how witnessing both poverty and generosity reshaped her understanding of happiness, and how holding her newborn daughter sparked the realization that none of us are too small to make a difference. She explains the simple but powerful idea behind B1G1: what if everyday actions, even something as small as buying a cup of coffee, could change someone else's life?

My friends, you'll leave this conversation inspired by the power of small acts, reminded that generosity isn't reserved for the wealthy or powerful, and encouraged to start making a difference today rather than waiting for someday.

Ten years ago this week, ON FIRE was released.

When the book first went out into the world, I wasn't expecting bestseller lists, translations into a dozen languages, or a feature film. My hope was far simpler: to honor the people who saved my life.

In sharing their stories, my hope was simple: to remind readers that they, too, could be part of someone else's miracle.

Because what made these heroes remarkable wasn't supernatural power. It was their decision to use their lives to elevate someone else's.

A superpower available to all of us.

My hope was that readers would recognize the heroes in their own story—and then choose to become one in someone else's.

And yet, something remarkable happened. Let me explain.

Chris Seilkop is a four-time Paralympian and longtime member of the U.S. men's sitting volleyball team. After losing his leg in a lawnmower accident at just seven years old, Chris refused to let tragedy define him. Instead, fueled by resilience, family support, and a love of sports, he built a life defined by perseverance. Along the way, he competed on the world stage, served others through his work with the YMCA and mentored individuals navigating life after amputation.

Today, Chris shares how the childhood accident reshaped his life, the community that helped him move forward, and the mindset that carried him from a hospital bed to four Paralympic Games. He reflects on heartbreaking losses, meaningful victories, and the perspective that helped him keep going.

My friends, if you've ever faced a setback that made you wonder what comes next, this conversation is for you. You'll leave reminded that life's hardest moments do not get the final word.
