#41. Chris Norton on the Seven Longest Yards


Listen Later

Welcome back everyone!

Today I have an incredible story for you. I had the amazing opportunity to sit down with Chris Norton. 

After a devastating football injury in his freshman year of college, Chris was told he had a 3% chance of moving anything below his neck again. However, after years of intensive rehab, Chris somehow defied the medical community and was able to walk across the stage for his college diploma. 

Since then, Chris has become one of the most sought-after motivational speakers, inspiring people with his message of hope, resilience, and faith. In 2018, Chris was named to ITA Group's list of "The Hottest Event Keynote Speakers". Chris and his family also started the SCI CAN Foundation, which has raised close to one million dollars to help others with spinal cord injuries and other neurological disorders.

One of his greatest feats was when he walked down the aisle to marry his wife Emily. They have since fostered 17 and adopted five children. Chris and Emily have recently written a memoir "The Seven Longest Yards: Our Love Story of Pushing the Limits While Leaning on Each Other". Chris and Emily's story of love, challenges, and commitment will be available in July 2019.  

Please enjoy one of the most inspirational interviews with Chris Norton.
