In this part 2 interview we meet the most influential person in Max Ivey’s life. If you haven’t heard Max’s backstory, I urge you to check out Episode 4a. His tale of life in a carnival family, losing his sight and how he turned his greatest challenge into his greatest calling card is a uniquely inspirational ride.

His transition from carnival ride broker to published author was due in large part to his greatest influence -- Lorraine Reguly -- a woman who overcame her own share of adversity and published a book on how she fought her way back from a life-threatening depression. Lorraine is now an author, English teacher, and public speaker who guides people on the how-to of book editing and publishing.
