Summary

Habit of Movement with Gilbert Tuhabonye If you are anything like me, running can feel like the last thing you want to do in the mornings.

0:00.0	Hey everyone, welcome back to the Going Scared Podcast. This is your host, Jessica
0:08.8	Honeger, founder of the World Changing Brand New Day Collection. And we gather here every
0:14.7	week to discuss how we can live lives of courage by leaving comfort and going scared. Today
0:23.1	is a really special conversation. I actually recorded this back at the beginning of December.
0:30.0	And was planning on releasing it during another series, even though it was made for this series,
0:36.9	it's all about movement. But as you'll hear from his story, how he began to run is about so much
0:43.0	more than just moving your body. And I actually have been having a hard time with my exercise routine.
0:49.0	And if you've been listening long enough, you know that that is one of my cornerstone habits. And
0:55.8	just I think traveling again this year and being off my schedule, also this is crazy, but my
1:03.0	daughter can drive herself to school now. And I always drove the boys to school. And Joe would

1:44.1	and inspiration to people all over the world. And he's also a genocide survivor in Burundi,
1:50.9	which is a part of the same genocide that was in Rwanda. We just don't hear about it very much.
1:57.2	But in 1993, as a high school junior, Gilbert escaped a horrific massacre in the long to see who
2:04.6	to wore a Burundi where he endured unbearable torture. He witnessed mass murder and barely
2:11.0	escaped his own death. And he shares about that today. And more than 8,000 miles from Burundi
2:18.8	Gilbert is a testament to the triumph of the human spirit. And he actually is right here in Austin.
2:25.2	He's a retired professional runner, philanthropist, author and community leader, where he lives here
