Oksana Masters is a world-renowned Paralympic medalist, author, and motivational speaker. She has won a total of 17 Paralympic medals - seven of which are gold - as well as multiple world and national titles in a variety of sports. I recently had the honor of speaking with Oksana about her life, achievements and the inspiring message in her new book, 'The Hard Parts: From Chernobyl to Paralympic Champion—My Story of Achieving the Extraordinary'.

Highlights from our conversation:

• Oksana Masters' story and her journey to success
• The amazing family and people who got Oksana to where she is today
• Ignoring the naysayers and working hard to achieve her dreams
• Using your past experiences as a tool to create an amazing life

Enjoy!
