Olympian, 9/11 Survivor & Wings4Heroes Founder Lyubim Kogan on Purpose, Resilience & Keeping Promises

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. In this inspiring episode, we talk with Lyubim Kogan—author, Winter Olympian, 9/11 survivor, NYU Stern graduate, and the visionary founder of Wings4Heroes.org, a nonprofit that helps amputee veterans regain purpose and confidence through paragliding and adventure Therapy.

A five-time first-generation immigrant, Lyubim’s life journey has taken him from Wall Street trading floors to global humanitarian missions, from surviving terror to standing on stage at the United Nations alongside icons like Brian Tracy. He co-authored Successonomics with Steve Forbes and now dedicates his life to uplifting wounded heroes by helping them quite literally fly again.

In this episode, we explore what it means to honor a promise, even when the path is uncertain and the reward is simply doing what’s right. Lyubim’s story is one of courage, service, and living a mission-driven life.

🎧 Tune in for a conversation on Trauma, healing, and turning adversity into action.
