Episode description

Maxwell Ivey was born into a carnival family.  As a kid, he helped out with everything he could.  Problem was, his vision was starting to go.

By the time he was a young adult, he was totally blind.

In our conversation, Max tells the story of his transformation from "morbidly obese failed carnival owner to a respected amusement equipment broker" in the best shape of his life.

Known as "The Blind Blogger", he's always up for new challenges and opportunities.  With three published books, his own podcast, and blog, he's trying to help others find the courage to the same.
