OBL 006 - Overcoming Your Addictions and Limitations with David Powell

David Powell is an inspirational speaker whose passion is to inspire and motivate people to live life to the fullest, and to follow their dreams, regardless of their circumstances. His journey began at birth being born without hands and malformed legs, and as a child he got around in an electric wheelchair using his feet as his hands. After the separation of his parents, David relocated to Dallas, TX. He then became a patient at Scottish Rite Hospital for children and started walking with the help of prosthetics. With his feet no longer available, he once again adapted and learned to do everything he did with his feet, with his arms. In high school, David lost his mother to a drug overdose, and a few years later he fell into drug addiction and alcoholism until the age of 29. But David once again beat the odds and overcame those struggles. He is now fulfilling one of his lifetime dreams of becoming a motivational speaker to provide people with helpful messages. David is living proof that anything can be achieved with the correct mindset.
