Dr. Paul Wichansky joins us for one of the most inspiring conversations we've ever had. Dr. Paul Wichansky is a motivational speaker who has shared his story with over one million people nationwide and with foreign exchange students from 20 countries.  His presentations highlight the topics of diversity, disability acceptance, anti-bullying, youth empowerment, and leadership.  Starting his speaking career at the tender age of 10 years old, his experiences are a testament to the enduring power of love, perseverance, and resilience.

Paul was born with cerebral palsy and has hearing loss.

Though doctors told his parents that their toddler son would never walk, Paul never gave up on his dream.  This former special needs child has transformed obstacles into unique opportunities for self-improvement, learning to walk and achieving many other goals, and even earning his doctorate.  He has always believed that our challenges can be our greatest gifts in life.
