Before turning the startup into a nine-figure wellness brand sold in over 20,000 stores nationwide, Chen faced a life-altering snowboarding accident that left him paraplegic. The experience reshaped how he sees adversity and ultimately gave him the motivation to live more fully. In this episode, Ryan shares how he shed a victim mentality and the advice he would give his younger self.
