When life shifts in ways we never expected, how do we find new strength?

In this episode of The Repivot Project, my friend Ed Hock shares his journey living with Inclusion Body Myositis (IBM) — a rare muscle disease that redefines what it means to be strong, resilient, and adaptable.

We talk about early signs, unexpected lessons, navigating daily life, and why showing up — even when it’s hard — matters more than ever.

Whether you're facing your own pivot or supporting someone you love, Ed’s story offers honesty, hope, and hard-won wisdom.

Listen in. Share widely. And remember: every pivot holds the potential for growth.

The idea for better packaging first sparked when P3RD.EARTH Founder, Ariadne Dimoula, was a kid swimming in the Penobscot River and saw fast food litter everywhere. She went home and asked her mom, Claudia Lowd - a pulp and paper chemical engineer, if paper mills could make better packaging than the styrofoam forever trash. Fast-forward more than ten years to when Ariadne was in Mexico scuba diving with sea turtles and later drinking a coconut with a plastic straw on the beach, when it hit her again, harder. “We are feeding animals trash.” Just like everyone on her sea turtle trip, Ariadne was there to celebrate the beautiful marine life, but was harming it with her tropical vacation behaviors.
