In this episode, Nick sits down with wheelchair bodybuilder, motivational speaker, Chad McCrary. Nick dives in deep into the mindset of what it took for Chad to overcome the odds and be a true inspirational story.
Chad’s Background
A former firefighter and paramedic, Chad McCrary answered the call to help others. He took great pride in his work and was adamant about providing the very best care for his patients.
In a motocross accident in 2005, Chad’s ability to work as a firefighter and paramedic was taken from him. While devastated, Chad refused to be counted out and competed as a wheelchair bodybuilder merely six months after his accident.
Chad has since used his relentless effort to overcome every obstacle thrown his way. He is now an advocate for spinal cord research by teaming up with the Dana and Christopher Reeve Foundation.
Chad also shares his story about overcoming his addiction to pain killers and alcohol, along with being an advocate for suicide awareness.  Chad’s story will inspire and convince you that you too can beat the odds.
