My great-grandfather, he said it best, he said life is on the wire and everything else is just waiting.

For our family, it's in the literal sense, life is on the wire.

That is where we feel alive.

The lenders are wire walkers.

Is this it?

This is all you do professionally today.

I was going to go off to college to become a pediatrician,

but I always had this passion of walking a wire.

Somebody is born in a Willenda family.

How soon am I getting on the wire?

As soon as you can stand up. in fact before my children could even stand up,

I was holding them up walking on a wire or two feet off the ground.

Did your mom ever wire walk with being pregnant with you or no?

She did, six months pregnant, and she was still walking the wire with me.

What you go through, that balancing pole weighs 45 pounds,

it's not just stable, it's moving the entire time.

So the amount of forearm strength is fairly overwhelming.

We talk about Chicago, Times Square, Niagara Falls, Dennis Volcano.

Nick, you're marching for the effort is worst in golf.

How do you stay sane on that road?

If you fall, it's over.

I think our family has just turned that fear into respect.
