I am honored to have this chance to speak with someone who has learned many of the concepts we talk about on the podcast, like building a vision, and carving out a happy, fulfilled life, all without the use of his eye-sight. Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we cover the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning (for schools) and emotional intelligence training (in the workplace) with tools, ideas and strategies that we can all use for immediate results, with our brain in mind.  I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and educator with a passion for learning specifically on the topics of health, wellbeing and productivity, and launched this podcast to share how important an understanding of our brain is to our everyday life and results using the most current brain research. If there's a tool, strategy or resource that I find, that could be helpful to improve productivity and results, whether we are a teacher in the classroom, a coach or in the modern workplace, I will share it here. He started his journey as a speaker in high school. Aaron was asked to go on Good Morning America when he committed to play football at Tulane, he knew immediately that he had a message that would impact millions. This experience threw him in the deep end at 17 years old. Since then he has traveled the world sharing his message. Aaron leaves organizations and teams with both strategies to create true change but also with impactful insights that will allow them to rethink their past beliefs. Aaron is never one and done, he is there by your side to help you implement and act accordingly.  He works in a speaking, workshop, and consulting manor. Whether you want Aaron to come in for a keynote, breakout sessions, day-long workshop, or longer-term consulting, he has a structure for all. Aaron's biggest accomplishment and what he is most proud of is when he was named a team captain of the Tulane Football Team and went on to become an NFL free agent. Successful organizations and companies like Pinterest, Deloitte, PlayFly Sports, Evolution Mining, and many other events and teams invest in him regularly. He has appeared on Good Morning America, as well has been in CBS, NBC, Sports Illustrated, The New York Times, Entrepreneur, NPR and many others. When I first came across Aaron's work, I think it was by accident, as I might have been on an email list for the work that he does. It didn't take me a minute to read what he's accomplished in his life to write back to him that I was hoping I could have him on our podcast. Then I listened to his TEDx, on “Finding Diamonds with Your Disadvantages” and saw that this young man was LIVING many of the practices and principles that we write about on this podcast. He even quoted the quote I opened the last episode with that “we must be willing to do things that others aren't willing to do.” We set up a call to speak, so I could learn more about him, and see if he would be open to sharing his story for those who tune into our show, to see how he's been able to overcome adversity, how he did it, and what would could learn from his life's story. I also want to let listeners know that if they find Aaron's message as unique and helpful as I have, that I'll include his website, so you can reach out to him, to see if Aaron could work directly with your team or organization. He's nothing short of amazing: inspirational, motivational and creative and innovative. Let's meet Aaron Golub, and see what we can learn about overcoming adversity in our daily life. Welcome Aaron, thank you for coming on the podcast and sharing your unique and inspiring life story with us. To start off with, I think it's true that in life there are no such thing as accidents. I think you agree with me on this one after I listened to you speak. Your TEDx is about finding diamonds with your disadvantages. I thought about this for some time this morning while hiking… I do think that your story (that's already reached millions) is one that should be heard by as many people as possible, so thank you again for coming on the podcast and spending some time with me here. Q1: I saw something you posted on Twitter as I was looking to learn more about you, and you have a post there that outlines your story and you say “growing up I wasn't athletic or confident.” Can you start with what life was like? Q1B: What is long-snapping and how did you play football without full eye-sight? Q2: At what point had you had enough of the challenges you face? How did you get to the point where you learned to see the diamonds where most people could only see the disadvantages? I know this took time… Q3: Life is difficult for all of us. Most people run into some sort of huge life challenge at some point. You've learned specific strategies for overcoming adversity. Can you share what they were? Q3B: Where did your courage or sense of self come from? Q4: So as you began playing football in high school, trying to find your place, what was that like, and when did you notice that you still needed something else that would come from you to reach higher levels of success with your sport? Q5: I thought your strategy of cold calling EVERY college coach in the country was brilliant. Probably because I've spent years in sales, and no one likes cold calling, but it's another difficult task that takes you to places where the diamonds are, where most others will give up. I want to know how you did this? Did you just get a list of D1 schools, and then look up the coaches and then call them? What did you say? Q6. When did you learn to stop looking at challenges through the eyes of being a victim, and that the world is out to get you, and start thinking that things in life happen for you, not to you? Q6B: You definitely didn't just rise to the top without having to face more adversity and challenge, right? You were ranked as one of the top players in MA, and then what happened? Q7: So now you've found the team that's the best fit for you, and you had an overturn with the coaching staff and you had to do something else that most people wouldn't want to do. You had to have that difficult conversation of “are you going to give me a shot?” How did that conversation go? Q8: Was there a time when things shifted and it was almost like you looked back and things became easier for you? The challenges that you face on a daily basis just seem like things you can handle? Q9: At what point did you start going into companies and organizations to help others overcome adversity and challenge? Q10: What's a message you want people to take away from today? Q11: If someone hears this, and would like to contact you to work with their organization, what's the best way?

“Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done.” – Robert A. Heinlein And I want to add a quote I heard often over years, that "To believe in the things you can see and touch is no belief at all. But to believe in the unseen is both a triumph and a blessing.” Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we cover the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning (for schools) and emotional intelligence training (in the workplace) with tools, ideas and strategies that we can all use immediately, with our brain in mind.  I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and educator with a passion for learning specifically on the topics of health, wellbeing and productivity, and launched this podcast almost 4 years ago, to share how important an understanding of our brain is, for our everyday life and results. For today's episode #278, keeping in line with our Season Theme of Going Back to the Basics to Build a Stronger, More Resilient 2.0 version of ourselves, we look back at EPISODE #124 on “How to be a Neuroscience Researcher in 4 Simple Steps”[i] I knew even before writing this one, that I had to spend some time getting creative. Science and research can be so very boring, especially if I were to just read through Pubmed.gov with some steps for all of us to navigate through the research, for our daily use. I can't imagine getting excited about that, and that's not what I wanted this episode to be about, so of course, I'm jolted out of sleep, in the early hours of a busy workday, to jot down some ideas that could bring the science into our daily lives, in a way that we can find evidence-based, science-backed answers to inform whatever questions might be keeping YOU up at night, or at least crossing your mind in the day, and make this episode a bit more memorable, interesting and useful for you. To do this, I went back to EPISODE #265 where we covered “Improving Creativity in Our Schools, Sports and Modern Workplaces”[ii] to revisit what makes something truly “creative” according to science, using the work of Dr. Andrew Huberman. He said “To Show Creativity—It must Reveal something new to us (entertaining, thrilling or useful) and it changes the way we access the world—acting as portals into the world and ourselves.”  On this past episode that I wrote just before Christmas of last year, I gave three examples of past guests who've come on this podcast who have done just that, and have shown their creativity to change the world in our schools, sports environments and workplaces of the future. You can review this episode and these examples, but for today's episode, I'm hoping that I can show you how to use this research portal, Pubmed.gov to change the way YOU access the world, and take some things that you might be wondering about, and see how science can inform how you see the world, revealing something NEW, entertaining, thrilling or useful. Now this is an episode worth waking up at 1am to write. Before dive in here, I've got to go back a bit in time, because I did name this podcast Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning, knowing full well that this link to science could help all of us to improve our results not only in our schools (where most of my work has been spent the past 3 decades) but also in our corporate workplaces, and sports environments. I remember in those early days planning this podcast, I was told to keep my message simple and focus on one area (schools) as you will be confusing your end listener. I remember thinking I don't want my end listener to only be working in our schools. I was hoping these ideas would appeal to a wider range of listeners, around the world, and today I've got to give a shout out to all of you who tune in, because I do keep an eye on our numbers (even though I've been urged to focus on the message and what we are learning each week, but I'm human, I do wonder “is the time I'm spending here, really helping others as much as it's helping me?” This morning, I'm motivated just a bit more than usual, as we are approaching an important milestone in the podcasting world, as we are just a few hundreds away from that 300K download mark, with a reach into 178 countries, around the world. I'm so glad that I listened to that inner voice that was urging me to keep the topics on this podcast broad, to improve productivity and results beyond our classrooms, and into places that my mind couldn't conceive at the time. So thank you for all of you who tune in, wherever you listen to this podcast in the world. I always say that without listeners, there would be no podcast, and without our guests, I wouldn't have any content to wake up early and write about. So, I will keep my promise back to you, that as long as we have listeners, that I will find the time to keep producing episodes that brings the most current research into practice, in our daily lives. While my days are now dedicated to promoting The Science of Reading in our schools, something I've been passionate about for a very long time, we will continue our theme of Going Back to the Basics this season, with some new guests coming up, to help strengthen our understanding of this connection between science, our productivity and results. Going back to EPISODE 124 on “How to Become a Neuroscience Researcher in 4 Simple Steps” I want to explain why I thought this was important to write about in the first place. I remember back to when I was first told “you know, you need to add science to your work” from Jeff Kleck, who we spoke with on EPISODE #246[iii] launching me into a world that I didn't think I was capable of learning. I went to school to be a teacher, (focused on Physical Education and English) expanding into Behavioral Students when I first began. I was not a neuroscience researcher, but found myself fueled by the challenge of understanding something that he understood, and I didn't. “If this educator, with a background as a football coach could grasp this work, then, why couldn't I?”  I thought. So that's where it all began for me, and why I think it's important to share that we all start somewhere and that's usually with a blank slate. I think about those early days when I opened up David A Sousa's famous book “How the Brain Learns”[iv] and almost slammed it shut, thinking “this is way over my head” as I saw these graphs on how memories are formed, and it just seemed so complex. So, this episode today is to show you that if I can figure this out, anyone can. Let's revisit the 4 steps I suggested in our earlier episode with some more thought and creativity behind the steps. STEP 1: First you want to think of your hypothesis: or something you are interested in, that you will back up with the most current research. I used my presentation slide as an example with “How Stress Impacts the Brain and Learning” in our earlier episode and in the 4 steps, I show you how to navigate through Pubmed.gov on this topic, how to find a study that does in fact prove how stress impacts learning, and then add this study to your work, or a presentation you might be doing. ANDREA'S HYPOTHESIS: In today's episode, I want to get creative, be a bit more innovative, and think beyond something we all KNOW impacts our brain and learning (like stress). What about something that science has yet to prove? This is where my curiosity goes, and you can see from some of the speakers we've had over the years that I'm interested in learning what science has to say about our dream world. Specifically, WHY we dream, and WHAT if anything, can we learn from our dreams?  What can science teach us about our dreams? This is my creative hypothesis. FIND YOURS: What's yours? What would you like to understand better and see if science could inform what you would like to know? Think about what you would like to learn, and if you need your brain jogged for a minute, I saw a recent Twitter post that self-development researcher, Greg Lunt put up the other day, about 7 peer-reviewed, research-based life hacks from Dr. Andrew Huberman's podcast.[v] Click the link in the show notes, and you can see 7 examples of important life hacks, that are all backed by science. If you listen to each of these life hacks, see if you can listen to Stanford Professor and host of the Huberman Lab, who I mention often on this podcast, through a different lens. Remember, that we all start our journey somewhere. We never know where our interests will take us, and how far each of can go into the world. Don't let the fact that we weren't taught many of these concepts in school to put up a barrier for what we could learn using science.  In some of the Deep Dive book studies we've done, I'm sure you will agree with me that we've uncovered that we all have unique talents and abilities, that when developed (or fanned into a flame) and used, have the ability to take that person to heights they might have only imagined in their dreams.  DID YOU KNOW THAT Stanford Professor, Dr. Andrew Huberman grew up as a skateboarder in the Bay Area, and didn't have direction or a vision for the life he has created today? He was taken in by skater Tony Hawk's parents when he was 14 and this gave him a place where he felt accepted, where he belonged and this changed the direction of his life forever. I'm sure that as we research most people who have risen to the top of their field, you will see that they had to overcome significant adversity, to arrive there. Nothing comes without effort. How to Sleep Better How to Burn Fat How to Grow Muscle How to Build Habits How to Focus How to Ease Pain How to Stop Hiccups See if you can come up with something you want to dive deeper into. I'll use mine since I've been logging my dreams since 1999, I can find patterns and themes, and lessons that I think might be important, but what does modern day science say about this? I went over to English neuroscientist and professor at the University of California, Berkley, Matthew Walker's research that focuses on sleep, and found a series on his podcast where he dives deeper into our dream world.[vi]  It's here where he mentions Dr. Robert Stickgold's research on “Memory, Sleep and Dreaming.”[vii] STEP 2: GO TO PubMed.gov[viii] and read the article on your topic of interest. When I searched for Robert Stickgold and dreaming, his article came up and took me straight to Pubmed through using Google. Or I could go directly to Pubmed.gov and type his name into the search bar with dreams and see all of the articles he's written on this topic. Try it for whatever topic you would like to connect evidence-based research to. STEP 3: Read through the studies with titles that interest you and see if you can uncover something new that can add value to your daily life. This is where you can spend a lot of time, or maybe go the other route, and you take one look at the article and X out of Pubmed thinking this is too difficult. Remember we all start somewhere. Dr. Huberman was once a skater kid, and now, I've never seen anyone navigate through the research like he does. Don't let it intimidate you. I mention this on our past episode that the parts of the research study that are important are the title, that tells you the topic and hypothesis, or what the researchers want to prove. Then there's a middle part that give you some details about the study that you can scan, and don't worry about all of the language. I'm sure many researchers aren't sure what it all means either. Someone who is an expert in research will inform this part of the study, that will help to find an accurate conclusion, that you will want to read.  In Stickgold's dream study, he was looking to show how our dreams can consist of “fragments” of our waking life, and he explained someone's waking life experience, and how it corresponded to something they dreamed about. Dr. Stickgold concludes that “waking experience is reactivated in the sleeping brain, (so what we think and experience in our waking life CAN show up in our dream life) leading to a process of “consolidation” by which new, labile (emotionally charged) memory traces are reorganized into more permanent forms of long-term storage. Dream experiences recalled from sleep bear a transparent relationship to recently encoded information, and provide a useful window into consolidation-related activities of the sleeping brain.” He concludes that “recent work from (his) laboratory has established a direct relationship between the “replay” of recent experience in dream content, and enhanced memory performance in humans.” This blows my mind. I'm still learning, and think I could study this paragraph for some time, but my search for understanding with what's going on in the dream world, and waking world is getting clearer. While I don't think I ever want to have someone else interpret my dreams (which they are doing these days with templates and researchers can now predict WHAT someone is dreaming about with MRI scanners). But I do think that understanding how our brains dream, and what we are dreaming about, with themes and connections we can learn from in our waking hours, could add significant value to our daily life, especially if we take what Dr. Stickgold's research said, and look at how our dreams could possibly enhance our memory performance. Putting the Research into Practice: I looked at a recent measure of my REM sleep, using my WHOOP device, that logged my REM sleep as 50% higher than my 30 day average recently. I know what I did to ensure I had a good night sleep, (starting with going to sleep an hour earlier than usual) and then logged what I recalled from my dreams that night. Now I wonder, “how are these dreams useful?” How did this increased REM sleep enhance my memory and important things I was learning that day?  I had a very busy week, and this data was very useful for me to see BEFORE this busy week began. I wonder: “Can this study about my dreams that I read on Pubmed.gov improve my memory or give me “enhanced memory performance” like Stickgold's research concluded, or even combined it with the WHOOP data, and ask, “could my focus, alertness and performance be improved with more REM sleep?” This is where curious minds, who want to learn can use science to inform our questions. I'll continue to follow Mathew Walker's work on the impacts of sleep on our brain, while measuring sleep, and continue to connect the research on Pubmed to uncover new ways for improved focus, productivity and performance. STEP 4: Keep learning and reading about what YOU would like to prove or understand better.  I wonder, did you learn anything new from the topic you looked up on Pubmed? If you did, I'd love to know what you learned. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION: And with that, I'll review and close out this episode where we looked at “How to be a Neuroscience Researcher in 4 Simple Steps”[ix]  and take something we are curious about, connect the science to it, and then actually use it in our life. STEP 1: Think of your hypothesis: or something you are interested in, that you will back up with the most current research. Get creative here, and think of something that you are curious about, like I'm curious about the dream world. To Show Creativity—It must Reveal something new to us (entertaining, thrilling or useful) and it changes the way we access the world—acting as portals into the world and ourselves.”  STEP 2: GO TO PubMed.gov[x] and read the article on your topic of interest. Don't be intimidated by the language you will see in these research articles. Just read enough that you can figure out the title (what they are looking to prove) the middle part (how they plan to prove it) and the conclusion (what they learned). STEP 3: Read through the studies with titles that interest you and uncover something new. How does what you learned from the research help what you are working on in your daily life? Like my interest in the dream world, where do your interests sit? Health, wellness, productivity? What are you interested in studying? STEP 4: Keep learning and reading about what YOU would like to prove or understand better. With time, the research is advancing lightyears beyond where we could imagine just a few years ago. Who knew before looking at what's new with this research that someone could measure me while I'm dreaming and now predict what I'm dreaming about? Who knew that an understanding of my dreams could help with my memory performance? We wouldn't know this without those who conduct the research, that are there for any of us to read on Pubmed.gov and I hope that this episode has made being a neuroscience researcher less intimidating. If you have spent the weekend, or longer, reading through Pubmed articles to learn something, then by all means, you can now call yourself a neuroscience researcher, and I hope that you've now taken something you were curious about (from the unseen world) and brought some clarity to it, in your life. With that, I'll close out this episode, that I hope you have found to be helpful, and useful in some way.  I want to thank you again for tuning in and helping our podcast to continue to grow over the years. I'll see you next week as we look at “Building Resilience[xi]” and we do have some fascinating interviews lined up: INTERVIEWS COMING UP NEXT: Gabrielle Usatynski,[xii] the author of the NEW book The Power Couple Formula, that is based entirely on Jaak Panksepp's 7 Core Emotions. I can't wait to dive deeper into Jaak Panksepp's work with her, especially after having the chance to meet with Lucy Biven earlier this year. Then we have Aaron Golub[xiii], who was the first legally blind D1 athlete to play football at Tulane University. We will be focused on leadership strategies that overcome adversity. Dr. Janet Zadina[xiv], a pioneer in the field of educational neuroscience is coming up later this month as we look at learning and the brain, where neuroscience in our schools began, and her vision for the future.

Okay, what's life really like when you're legally blind? How would this disability shape your life? Would you relocate thousands of miles to play American football and go to University? My guest today is Aaron Golub and that's exactly what he did.Aaron was the first legally blind person to play division one college football. The next step is to play in the NFL. You've got to be highly talented to get a place at a college at this level of sports. But life has never been easy for Aaron, this is a guy who has had to dig deep throughout his life to get the results he wanted. His disability has defined him but in the most positive of ways and he admits in our conversation that if he were given the chance to be born with perfect eyesight he wouldn't do it! That, for me, says everything about this outstanding young man.This is a conversation about grit and determination, it's about personal drive and setting big goals for your life. Aaron is one of those guys whose wisdom belies his age. His level of gratitude for everyone that has helped him and who put their faith and trust in him is evident throughout our conversation.So this is me and Aaron Golub – entrepreneur, speaker and all round great guys talking about his life so far and his dreams and goals.  This is a conversation about not giving up and also putting the time in to achieve what you want. Facing down adversity and coming out a better person.This is a guy who really knows what he wants, he works hard every day and strives to improve every day, even if it's just 1%. He knows all about the compound effect!But ultimately this is man who truly understands that putting others above yourself is the foundation of his success.Please connect with Aaron on all the socialsLinked InInstagramTwitterWebsiteThank you so much for listening.

On the contrary, he decided that he never wanted to settle with being average and that he needed to achieve something greater.The post Aaron Golub, Making the Choice to Succeed (#183) first appeared on Mike Malatesta.

In this episode of the Aww Shift Podcast, our guest is Aaron Golub. He is a motivational speaker and became the first legally blind athlete to play football in a Division 1 game when he was at Tulane University. He was a captain in his senior year and went on to also become an NFL free agent. Aaron never let his limited vision get in the way of his success. Aaron’s grit, determination, and effort enabled him to earn a spot on the Tulane team, and the respect of his teammates, coaches, and fans. His planning, passion, and perseverance enabled him to be successful. Today, he will share with us how his work ethic made him overcome the challenges in his life and how he made the impossible, possible.   [3:57] Why should we listen to you? I faced a lot of obstacles in my life and I find ways to persevere and overcome all of them. I don't care about other people’s opinions, and it's something that allowed me to achieve the goals that I've set forth for myself in the past, and hopefully will allow me to achieve the goals that I have in the future.   [5:02] Valuing your own Opinion I care about opinions in the sense of respecting everyone's opinions. I love constructive criticism. I respect everyone’s opinions but the only opinion that I truly value is my own. [5:27] Your own opinion is the only thing that matters. That’s the only one that you really should value. You should respect everyone's opinion, take advice from others, have constructive criticism, but at the end of the day, you only need to value your own.   [6:13] What’s different about you? I think the biggest thing is that people don't understand what it means to work hard or persevere or be the hardest working person in the room. [6:40] I was the hardest working person on my team and I think that everyone around me at that time would agree. [6:58] Hard work and Perseverance are doing things when no one else is around or when no one else has any idea what you're doing. Doing things that you don't want to do.    [7:52] Hard Work I think it probably built up. I started playing football in seventh grade. In the beginning, I wasn't good. I was terrible. [8:30] It was the intensity and practicing long snapping every morning. I want to be a starter and play in college, I want to do all this. I had to develop a plan and outwork everyone if I want to be as good as them. I had a lot of obstacles and something just clicked and I wanted more for myself.   [9:21] Aaron’s Disability I was born legally blind. It shifted little variances when I was younger. It's pretty steady now, but not getting any better or worse. I have no vision in my right eye and very limited in my left [10:04] I have a hereditary disease called Peters Anomaly, which is very rare. And I was fortunate when I was an infant, that through surgeries, they were able to save my left eye from going completely blind, and still gave me some vision. So I'm very fortunate about that, but it is something I was born with and less with my entire life.   [10:56] Did it scare you to play football because of your disability? I wore a visor because my blindness was a concern. I wear a clear visor most of the time, and I was the only college football player allowed to wear a tinted visor. We had to get it specially approved because it's like glare with the sun on my eye.   [11:37] Playing at Tulane University I loved it. I'm from Boston, Massachusetts so it was a very different culture shift, but I enjoyed it. Everything about Louisiana, about New Orleans, about playing at that school was awesome whether it be the teammates, the camaraderie, the fans, or the culture of the city, It is such a great environment.   [12:19] Where do you live now? I'm back in Boston now. I moved around a little after college. I left New Orleans and moved to DC to work but I didn't enjoy what I was doing so I came back to Boston and was able to network my way back into a role that I love up here. I think that a skill I learned through football and through my years is the ability to network and create relationships.   [13:15] What do you speak about to your audiences?  I speak to whether it be sports teams, college, or pro things, sometimes it would be companies, events, or nonprofits. I've spoken to a wide range of people and it depends. I speak on topics whether it be perseverance, overcoming obstacles, the topic of things in life happening, the value of creating a plan, and following through.  [14:06] If someone wants me to talk about something and shifts my speech, I'm going to do it. I'm not going to lose the opportunity because I can't talk about something. I'm going to sit down and rewrite a speech and make it work so I can work with them.   [14:41] What do you foresee for your life The biggest thing for me is I want to impact people daily. I want to help others and create relationships. That's my goal. And the biggest thing that I think that others can use from there is to create a routine and create things that you do every day. Things that help push the needle forward no matter how small it is and persevere through the challenges. [15:44] I want to be one of the most well known and sought after speakers in the world. I'm not there yet. I'm nowhere near that but I think with my work ethic and my determination, I'll get there in the future. I just need to keep following the process and look up to people and others that I've been connected to.   [16:19] Why did you choose Football? I’ve always loved football. I played some other sports recreationally growing up, like basketball and baseball when I was a little kid, but that didn't work out too well.    [17:50] Teammates I took the approach of needing to prove myself. I needed to earn the respect of my teammates and coaches. And that's what I did, and they saw that I worked hard on the field, in the classroom, in the weight room, and I was a true friend,  [18:10] I would go to bars with my teammates. I would have fun. I would go to parties. It wasn't a strict thing. I built that relationship with my teammates, and because of that, we became very close and they were all supportive and happy to do whatever they could to help me succeed.   [19:05] Who are the people that supported you? My parents were always very helpful and supportive. My dad was a big role in me playing football in college. He would never ask if I wanted to go snap, but if I asked if we can go to school in the morning and snap? He would always say yes, and he would always get up and go with me and catch my balls because he would never ask me to do it. If I wanted to put in the work in the effort, he would go with me and help me succeed. [19:38] My sister has always been phenomenal and supportive and helping me with anything I needed.   [20:53] What promise did God make to the world when He created you? I think that this person is going to be unique, going to be different. The promise that, if he puts in the hard work, the effort, is patient, does all the right things and follows his dreams, he can be successful and just as successful as anyone else. I think it's not necessarily a promise, but it's a challenge. [21:41] I'm so blessed and thankful that I was born legally blind. I wouldn't change it for anything in the world because it's allowed me to pave the way for others in sports, in business, in life, and meet incredible people, and go to incredible places. I'm thankful that that challenge was put in front of me at birth and I know that if I continue on this path, I'll be extremely successful down the road.   Key Quotes: [5:28-5:32] “The only opinion that matters for anyone in this world is their own.” Learn more about Aaron Golub and his inspiring journey on his website at: https://www.aarongolub.com/   Follow Aaron on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/aaronjgolub/

We are honored to present a discussion with Aaron Golub, former long-snapper at Tulane. Aaron was born with no sight in his right eye and very limited sight in his left. That didn't stop, or even slow Aaron down. He played high school football (on the line!) and dreamed of playing in college. Aaron followed his dream and through hard work and perseverance, he became the first legally blind player to play Division I college football. This isn't about football though, and we can all learn something from Aaron's story. Aaron is currently a motivational speaker and it's difficult to imagine someone better suited for a calling.
