Olympian Encourages NAHU Members to Be Bold

By Susan Rupe InsuranceNewsNet

Olympian Ruben Gonzalez encouraged NAHU members to take chances and don't fear failure during a weekend conference in Orlando, Fla.

An Argentine luger, Gonzalez competed in four Winter Olympics between 1984 and 2010. He shares his experiences on the motivational speaking circuit.

Other highlights from Sunday in Orlando include:
