Barry Friedman

Let me get this out of the way: I'm a 4-time World Juggling Champion. Yep, modern day circus blood runs through these veins.

Sure, the other Barry Friedmans on Amazon are doctors, lawyers, great thinkers, and even experts in Native American Blankets - but none of them can juggle 3 ping pong balls using only their mouth.

Since 1982 I have been 1/2 of the Raspyni Brothers. We have traveled around the world performing at high-end corporate events, opening act for dozens of celebrities including the late Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, Howie Mandel, and even Tom Jones and Dean Martin. Yeah, been a long, strange road.

On Leap Day of 2012 I decided to "leap" sugar for the day. That decision has led to thousands of people around the world following suit thanks to the fact that I like to share what I'm up to. I created www.30DaysSugarFree.com along with a dear friend and together we coach people through one of the great Hero's Journeys imaginable.

I've worn many hats in my life and I wouldn't have it any other way. I crave an impossible challenge and a tight deadline. I am occasionally a TED presenter (six times), international award-winning performer, business coach, commercial pilot, tri-athlete, writer, and always a husband and father.

I enjoy running, biking, swimming, and mountain unicycling. I live in the foothills of the Sierra Mountains with my amazing sugar-free wife Annie, and our reluctantly occasional sugar-free son, Zed.
