Today I’m speaking with Sean Stephenson, A.K.A ‘The 3 Foot Giant’. When Sean was born doctors predicted he would die within 24 hours because of a rare disorder that stunted his growth and caused his bones to be extremely fragile and prone to damage.

He has since inspired millions of people around the globe including President Clinton, Sir Richard Branson and his Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. He’s appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Biography Channel did a 1 hour feature on his life, he has written loads of books and spoken at countless countries all around the world.
