Season 3 Episode #1 Maxwell Ivey is coming from the Houston area.
You can find Maxwell via theblingblogger.net.
About our guest - Born into a family of carnival owners in Texas, Maxwell unfortunately, lost his sight at age 12. Having a natural gusto for life, Max graduated college and became heavily involved in the Eagle Scouts. He also worked in the family carnival business alongside brothers until his father succumbed to lung cancer. Faced with his own mortality, Max made some life-altering changes. He underwent gastric surgery and lost over 250 pounds. He started his own business, buying and selling amusement rides, and learned how to blog using software for visually-impaired people. Overcoming many obstacles, Max made a name for himself online and now shares his experiences on The Blind Blogger and through several books he has authored.
Max, thanks for all the inspirational work you have done and continue to do to help all people but specifically people with differing abilities. Max, welcome to the show!
