Show Notes

Chris Norton was a promising defensive back until he had a life changing injury while making a tackle during a game.

That injury changed his entire life in a split second, causing him to be paralyzed from the neck down.

What Chris did AFTER his injury is nothing short of BREATH TAKING…

After years of hard work, he SHATTERED the odds and regained limited movement in some parts of his body.

He then set out to WALK across the stage to get his college diploma as a senior. The video of him successfully doing so went VIRAL and saw over 300 Million eyeballs online.

Chris and his wife created ANOTHER viral moment when Chris walked the full 7 yards down the aisle with the help of his bride to be.

His story was captured in the book The Seven Longest Yards and turned into a Netflix Documentary also called, “Seven Yards.”

I had such an incredible time talking with Chris and getting to see and feel his heart come through telling his story…

This interview has made a deep impact on me, so thank YOU Chris.
