This is a very exciting new episode of The Motivational Intelligence Podcast. Sean Johnson and Dave Naylor interview Keith Heiden, a man who has lived an incredible life. He was diagnosed with a degenerative eye disease due to a bad case of strep throat when he was only about 12 years old, leading him to become legally blind. That didn’t stop him from creating an extraordinary life! Keith regularly bowls perfect games, golfs, races sailboats and is the father to four children. He also works at a heat treating plant. Despite his limitations, he has never let his vision get in the way of challenging himself and trying new things.
