Rodney, thank you for joining us on the show today.

Justin, how you doing, brother? Thank you for having me, man. It’s an honor and a privilege to be here, man. I mean I’m very excited about being here, man. Love the work that you’re doing in the world also. Thank you for that introduction, and thank you again for having me here, brother.

Yeah, I appreciate it. We’ve been wanting to connect for some time, so I’m really looking forward to this conversation. You are an inspiration, not only for myself but for so many other people. The people that you would get in front of, that you talk, that you have an impact on. You have such an amazing, powerful story of overcoming diversity. You’ve taken that, and I’ve seen you at work. I’ve seen the impact that you have on others. You have such a powerful, powerful message that helps people overcome their challenges. And helping them process through … just things that come up in life and business and so forth. Can you share a little bit about your background and what you’re doing in the world?

Yeah sure, man. It all started from a long time ago. I was playing football as a young teenager, and I suffered an accident, man. I was lined up on the right side of the field getting ready to make a play. I wanted to make a play. I was running down as fast as I could. I made a tackle, and I hit this guy. Boom! I went down.

They rushed me to the hospital. They did some test, and they found out that I was paralyzed from the neck down. They told me that I wasn’t gonna be able to walk again, for the rest of my life.

Be someone that could make a difference in the world. I started on this journey
