S2E5 - The Sky's NOT The Limit

There's nothin' to it but to do it! Fletcher Cleaves is proving that it's not your circumstances that define you, but rather how you react to those circumstances.

At the age of 18, he had it all -- he'd worked hard to get a scholarship to Lambuth to play football under the formidable Coach Hugh Freeze. But everything changed in an instant after a car accident caused by a distracted driver left him paralyzed from the neck down. But instead of letting that moment define him, he doubled down on the hand he was dealt.

Fletcher turned his tragedy into triumph as spokesperson for AT&T's "It Can Wait" campaign, a motivational speaker, disabled travel advocate, author, non-profit creator, and all around rockstar!

BONUS: He also shares about his New Memphis Embark experience!
