	Description:		Born in Nanjing, China, Scout Bassett was abandoned after losing her leg in a fire when she was around 18 months old. She spent the next seven years in an orphanage, living through difficult conditions until she was adopted at age 7 by a family from the United States. She obtained her first running prosthetic at age 14, and then went on to run competitively at UCLA and would be recruited by a head performance director for U.S. Paralympics. In today's episode, we dive into all of this, plus talk about her time competing as a triathlete until she quit her full-time job in 2015, sleeping on couches and inside her car as she trained for the Paralympics. Scout talks about the lessons she's learned through her #hurdlemoments about resilience, her time hosting the Paralympic coverage for NBC, and offers up tips on how to chin up when life feels impossible.
