Some lives are changed by a plan. Others are changed by a single moment.

A single class. A transformational teacher. A difficult journey. A new challenge.

Carlo Capua has built a life by pursuing those moments. He has taught in Japan and Mexico, run a marathon in North Korea, helped create a second-chance social enterprise that returned 165 people to the workforce, led municipal innovation, chaired international citizen-diplomacy efforts, completed an Ironman and 19 full marathons, and earned a place among six U.S. finalists for the 2026 Defender Trophy.

Now he helps audiences recognize the experiences that can redirect a life, and learn how to create those experiences for others.
