Brad Smeele was famous for doing gravity-defying tricks on a wakeboard that most of us can only watch in awe. Now, after a spinal cord injury left him a quadriplegic 8 years ago, his incredibly physical lifestyle and lens to the world is replaced with that of a professional speaker and newly-minted author. Join Brad as he talks with Red Nicholson about writing his no-holds barred memoir as not only a debut author, but as someone who had never imagined that he’d ever write a book, about how writing can be a way of confronting ourselves, and how the things that we create, end up creating us.
