    My friend Stephen Hopson was interviewed for the Tuscon Citizen:

    Bruzzese: Turn adversity into dreams come true

    Hopson’s new career is based upon the premise that he knows how to take adversity and turn it into success, and he believes that it is a message many people want to hear from just a regular guy faced with his share of obstacles.

    Years of scandals in the corporate world have soured audiences on pep talks from well-paid executives, but the skepticism softens when a speaker like myself who wears a hearing aid and speaks with a ‘distinctive voice’ walks onstage and talks about overcoming adversity,” he says.

    The fact that I have never heard a sound in my life, and yet managed to build a successful career … brings tremendous credibility to the table. After people hear me speak, they cannot possibly go back to work making excuses for themselves.”

    Stephen is an awesome individual, and I do not say that lightly. Check out his site and stop making excuses!
