350+ Record Holder David Rush Challenges Kids to Break Records

A man who has broken over 350 world records just told kids everywhere they can do it too.

David Rush, an Idaho-based record breaker known for everything from balancing objects on his nose to incredible juggling feats, recently joined Tinkercast's interactive game show "Two Whats?! and a Wow!" The episode gives curious kids a chance to learn about his wild career while playing along with fun facts about his unusual life.

Rush didn't start breaking records for fame. He began his journey with a specific mission: inspiring children to get excited about science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Through hundreds of attempts, failures, and eventual successes, he's shown young people that persistence pays off.

During the podcast episode, Rush shares stories from his record-breaking adventures, including party tricks like balancing a cashew on your nose and flicking it into your mouth. The author and speaker has tackled challenges ranging from balance stunts to fitness feats, documenting his entire career on his personal website.

But the best part comes at the end, when Rush issues a direct challenge to listeners. He encourages kids to find records they can break themselves, reminding them that many challenges work great with friends.

Why This Inspires

Guinness World Records recently created an Under-16 category specifically so young people don't have to compete against experienced record breakers like Rush. This opens the door for countless kids who might have felt intimidated by adult record holders. Rush's message is clear: world records aren't reserved for grown-ups or naturally gifted athletes. They're for anyone willing to practice, learn from mistakes, and keep trying. His entire career stands as proof that determination matters more than natural talent. By using his platform to encourage the next generation, he's creating a ripple effect that could inspire thousands of future record breakers.

The episode is available now on Tinkercast, along with links to the full list of Under-16 records waiting to be broken.
