    More about Spencer:
    Spencer’s charisma and dynamism captivate audiences every time he speaks. Whether addressing corporate leaders, non-profits or the education world, listeners are mesmerized as Spencer describes his journey after losing both legs from the pelvis down at the age of five, to when he climbed, and summited, Mount Kilimanjaro using his hands and wheelchair. Spencer is a top-ranked keynoter, author of the best-selling book Standing Tall: My Journey, and star of the documentary Redefine Possible: The Story of Spencer West, which debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2012.
    Produced by: Spencer West and Jake Clement

    I accidentally found this channel because I thought, “No way people on the internet actually ask you those invasive questions” and ended up finding such a dope person. I’ve been looking to delve into philanthropy myself. Hi new best friend.

    I have Apotemnophobia, thank you for doing this. I have always feared coming off as an asshole to those who have amputations because of this phobia. I don't know why I have it or where it came from. I'm ashamed of it. Nothing medically traumatic ever happened to me which is what the experts say can trigger this. When I was kids There was an older guy with missing fingers who used to pretend he was really picking his nose and it came off inside 😳 maybe that just scared me to death? I don't know. But thank you for doing this, it helps me not feel like a creepy jerk and I hope I can get over it with youtube "exposure" therapy.

    Your a great guy! Love your energy, I’m also in a wheelchair, I have muscular dystrophy very weak and so is my upper body, unfortunately I’m progressing and there’s no cure but I stay faithful and positive, I still have a lot of hard days and the pain and anxiety is horrible, thank you for sharing your achievements 🙏🏼💕👏🏼👏🏼 I’m very happy for you, my biggest achievements are my 3 beautiful children who are now young adults that take care of me, love them so much, but sometimes I still want to kick their little asses 😂🤣sending great vibes to everyone!

    From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Mat 4:17
    We all deserve hell and we are all condemned already the Bible says we all fall short from the glory of God. He provided a Savior for us so that we could have everlasting life, peace and joy in him. He is our hope and our salvation.

    Forgive me, young man, but I envy you your nephew. We lost my beloved nephew to suicide and, we believe (though can’t be certain) schizophrenia when he was 21. But I understand the draw of being a gay uncle, and I wish you the best. I’m looking forward to more videos (subscribed!).
