About the Author

Most Barry Friedmans who write books are doctors, lawyers, great thinkers, and even experts in Native American Blankets. Until now, none of them have been 4-time World Juggling Champions. 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'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.
