"What happens when a child raised in poverty, by a mother who couldn’t read, becomes one of the world’s most admired neurosurgeons?"
In this powerful and inspiring episode, Kent Hance sits down with Dr. Ben Carson, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and world-renowned pediatric neurosurgeon, to explore the extraordinary journey of a man who defied every odd.
Dr. Carson shares how a TV game show inspired his decision to apply to Yale, and how a fellowship in Australia prepared him to become Chief of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins by age 33. From performing groundbreaking surgeries—including hemispherectomies and intrauterine procedures—to leading HUD with a mission to promote self-sufficiency, Carson’s story is a testament to resilience, faith, and the power of education.
