Dean Furness returned to Bloom to share how when we stop comparing ourselves to others, we can accomplish great things. He shared how, after losing the use of his legs in an accident, he discovered a powerful new mindset focused on redefining his "personal average" and getting better little by little.

Dean Furness is a data and analytics professional. An accident in 2011 left him as a paraplegic without the use of his legs, but after several years of rehabilitation, hard work and encouragement from his physical therapist, he competed as a wheelchair athlete in both the Chicago and Boston Marathons. Dean continues to train for marathons and aims to inspire others through a positive approach to owning each day.
