In this episode, we will hear from Tom Allred, whose life began with severely underdeveloped legs and over a hundred surgeries before, at age 12, he made the bold decision to become an above‑knee amputee—and in doing so unlocked a world of independence and possibility. From roaring down highways on a motorcycle and commanding eighteen‑wheelers behind the wheel to representing his country in sitting volleyball at the 1988 Paralympic Games, Tom has spent decades defying expectations and embracing adventure.

Now at 75, he channels that same spirit into mentoring new amputees, teaching the skills that turn fear into confidence, and proving every day that limb loss is not a limitation but an invitation to live fully.
