How does a deaf child make it in the NBA and go on to be a KeyNote motivational speaker with a TEDx under his belt? For this episode, I had the privilege of interviewing Lance Allred, the first deaf NBA player, KeyNote motivational speaker, and bestselling author. Hearing Lance's story will make you question the gravity of any obstacle set in front of you.

For instance, we conducted our podcast interview as a video call and then converted it to the MP3 file because Lance can read lips. This is one of the most inspirational interviews you'll ever hear.
