From the Pistol to the Paddle - Wally Green
October 21, 2022
Not many Americans can say they've visited North Korea. Even fewer have competed against them in any type of sport. Wally Green took an incredibly unlikely path to help spark change in international relations. From growing up with guns & bad influences to finding his life-saving calling in Ping Pong, Wally does not back down from failure. His optimism is infectious and his light-hearted nature (and bravery) is something that will stick with you long after listening. Enjoy!
