The last thing you’d ever think – if you read my friend TOM SULLIVAN’S bio – is that he’s blind. In fact, Tom is one of America’s most famous blind people. He’s written and produced movies & TV shows, sung THE NATIONAL ANTHEM at THE SUPER BOWL, and written more than a dozen books including IF YOU COULD SEE WHAT I HEAR and LEADING LADY. Tom wrote Leading Lady with his dear friend BETTY WHITE. When he’s not SKIING or PLAYING GOLF or RUNNING MARATHONS, Tom’s uplifting people as one of America’s most sought after MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS.
Prepare to feel uplifted by this episode. That’s pretty much its headline.
Though blind since just after birth, Tom never wanted blindness either to define him or limit him. . And it hasn’t!
Some pretty remarkable people have mentored Tom along the way – including DR. MARTIN LUTHOR KING, JR and actor MICHAEL LANDON.
We also talk a lot about writing – and what it takes to be successful as writing partners. It’s not the case that good writing partnerships demand equal typing time. Some writing partners contribute intangibles – like the unique way they experience the world.
If you’re in need of a spiritual lift, a brain cleanse or even just a few minutes of something positive, spend some time with Tom. You may even find that what he says opens your eyes.
