Ellen Degeneres

'Against All Odds' with Zion Clark

This is the incredible story of ZION CLARK, whose life has taken everything away from the first day.

Born without legs due to “caudal regression” syndrome, and abandoned by his mother at birth, he spends his first 16 years between one house of trust, until he discovers the wrestling and love of a new mother .

He is a Guiness World Record holder has featured on Ellen, CNN, Fox News, ESPN and features in the Netflix Documentary ‘Zion’ scoring two Sports Emmy's and nominated for Short Film Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival.

Became the first American Athlete to compete in both the Olympic (wrestling) and Paralympic (wheelchair racing) Games in Tokyo (2020) and when he isn’t qualifying or training he stays busy as a motivational speaker

The moral of Zion's inspirational story is that things don't always go smoothly in life...but in order to succeed, you must adapt to your individual circumstances.

Priding himself in hard work, Zion offers that there are no excuses...or shortcuts! It's all about faith, passion, and perseverance.

One of the most inspirational episodes as founder Glenn chats with Zion about his journey and shows that there are no excuses that should stop you from doing what you love and what you want to do in life even when odds may be presented to you..

We are so excited this week with the release of our upcoming episode for the ImperfectlyPerfect Podcast with the incredibly talented Willa Amai @willaamai

What an absolute honour to chat with an artist at such a young age making waves around the world with her music and songwriting, sharing her gift and openly speaking about her struggles with anxiety to let people know it’s ok not to be ok.

Coming up on the episode, we hear all about Willa’s journey from the age of 12-years-old, being introduced to multi-platinum, Grammy Award-nominated producer, Linda Perry @reallindaperry (P!nk, Adele, Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera), where she played a fragment of a piece she had written and told to go back within 3 months with 5 more songs.

Not only did she go back, but with 6 songs.

Perry realized there was much more to this young musician and signed her to the label/publishing/management company she co-founded.

We hear all about her ability to put her feelings in to her songwriting, sharing her struggles with anxiety and using the power of that gift to tell her story which has seen her go on to achieve some amazing respect and recognition in the industry.

At 14, Willa won acclaim for her gently breathtaking rendition of Dolly Parton’s “Here You Come Again” (recorded with Dolly herself and featured on the talent filled Dumplin’ soundtrack). Esquire praised the duet as “truly exceptional” and “one of the few moments that an accompanying voice is able to keep up with Parton’s.”

Refinery29 hailed their interaction as “a passing of the torch.”

In addition to her duet with Dolly, Willa had the opportunity to join another of her musical influences when Brandi Carlile invited her to perform a duet at the Great American Music Hall.

Now 17, Willa has begun sharing her music with the world, showing the extraordinary depth of her narrative voice and the subtle power of her songwriting.

With her eagerly awaited first album ‘I can go to bed whenever’ releasing June 4, produced by Linda Perry and recorded in Los Angeles at Perry’s Greenleaf Studios with the album’s focus track "Too Close" comes out the same day

We are excited and so should you be !!!
