My guest today is Scott Chesney. Scott is a father of two beautiful children, husband, a motivational speaker, life coach, Ambassador for the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, a member of the Seton Hall University Leadership Advisory Council and star of the documentary Ride The Wave, a captivating film about Hope, Resilience, Courage, Passion, Gratitude, Family, Friends, and Love!

Scott and I have become friends over the past few years because of the Surf group we are both a part of. Scott has been navigating life with paralysis for nearly 35 years after awakening at the age of 15 from a sudden spinal stroke.

He has yet to let paralysis dictate the direction of his life and he has, on top of all the accolades and achievements, traveled the world and amassed a resume of transformational experiences, powerful insights, and inspiring stories that cut to the core of the human spirit.

We take this hour to discuss his injury, love for the ocean and letting positivity guide you.

Highlights:

  • Scotts life before his spinal cord injury.
  • Being drawn to the ocean from a young age.
  • What it took to get back into the ocean.
  • Adaptive surfing.
  • Ride the Wave Documentary.
  • Going with the ebb and flow of life.
  • Ongoing access issues and what we can do to open the outdoors to everyone.
