Wilton sat down with Brad Butler II, an award-winning motivational speaker, student advocate and success coach.
Before he made guest appearances on FOX, CBS, NBC or participated win speaking engagements with the NCAA, Brad was a student taking special ed classes and was the son of parents who were drug dealers that later became drug addicts.
But, Brad didn’t let the adversity stop him from achieving his goals. In fact, when he was younger, he asked God to take the burdens from his family and to place them on his shoulders.
In the midst of chaos, Brad found a way to discipline himself using sports to overcome his shortcomings. His belief is that no goal is accomplished without trial, triumph and testimony. Sit back and listen as he discusses his passion of being a student-athlete advocate, the importance of using his gifts from his purpose, overcoming special ed classes, staying focused and more.
