WATCH AN ALL-NEW EPISODE!

Surviving & Thriving is the three-time Emmy-nominated show produced by Bolder Broadcasting, the team behind the nationally syndicated Growing Bolder. Surviving & Thriving is produced in partnership with WESH-TV.

Hosted by Growing Bolder's Wendy Chioji, a three-time cancer survivor, and WESH 2's Jim Payne, Surviving & Thriving is the show that shares stories of men, women and children, who by their example, give us the courage to keep fighting through our own challenges.

There's one challenge we will all face in life, if we're lucky -- the challenge of aging. In this episode, you'll meet a renowned abstract painter who has no plans of living his final years quietly. See what inspires Harold Garde to paint daily, even in his mid-90s, and why he sees his actions and art as acts of rebellion. Plus, a former soldier explains how his wartime experiences in Iraq inspired him to enroll in med school -- in his 40s! And Jim takes you inside the studios for a very special day of media training with Special Olympians. Find out why he's spent more than 20 years volunteering with these amazing athletes.

Those stories and much more in this episode of Surviving and Thriving.
