Lance Allred didn't exactly have luck on his side when he was born. Born in a small polygamist compound in rural Montana, he was born 80% deaf. At the age of 13, his family escaped the polygamist community, and had to start over completely. Standing at 6 feet 11 inches tall, Lance didn't start playing basketball until much later than most of his competition. He wasn't allowed to wear his hearing aids while playing, and therefore had to learn how to interact with his fellow teammates and players using other his senses and perceptions. Truly incredible.
He ended up getting a scholarship with the University of Utah and played with the Utes the year they went to the National Championship, but ended up transferring to Weber State University the year after due to difficulties with his coach. (You'll just need to read Lance's book to hear what REALLY happened)
Finally, at the age of 27 after paying his dues and playing in the minor leagues and playing basketball on every continent (except Antartica), he finally was drafted into the NBA and played with the Cleveland Cavs.
Lance reflects on how much of his identity was then taken away suddenly as he was cut in 2008 and totally had to reinvent himself.
Lance began speaking, coaching, and helping other people from the valuable lessons he'd learned after years of refinement and deep self work.
In his latest book, "The New Alpha Male," Lance gives and incredibly brilliant perspective on the challenges that the current male in our society faces. I literally couldn't put this book down! I resonated with so much, and whether you're a man or a woman, you'll be so inspired by his book.
I hope you enjoy this conversation with Lance as much as I did!

-What is the New Alpha Male?
-Nice guys vs "Good guys"
