In the A-side of Episode 4 we meet a true original, a one-of-a-kind maverick whose story is one of adversity, positivity and fearlessness. The chapters of Maxwell Ivey's life include growing up in a Texas carnival family, losing his sight in high school, launching his own business and authoring three books with a fourth one on the way.
Max has been a mentor, a role model and a confidante for those looking for a spark, because he turned his adversity into a nickname, his nickname into a trademark, and that trademark into a business on TheBlindBlogger.net.
But he also shares the most influential person in his life and how one woman helped point the way with a why-not mindset that refused to accept his limitations or excuses. In fact, she helped co-write his latest song, "What's Your Excuse".
