We Need To Talk with Paul C. Brunson · Born With No Limbs: I Didn't Want To Be Their Poster Child! Briel Adams-Wheatley · 23 Jun 2026 podcast

In the very beginning, I'd come out and I'd fall over on stage and the audience would be like, oh my gosh.

And then I would say, sometimes in life, we fall down, but we have to decide to get back up.

And then I would stand up and then the audience would, oh my gosh.

And then I'd go into my story of how my mom got me and then I would talk about

The bullying in junior high and that in life it's hard, but we've got to figure out who we are.

And that's where dance came in for me.

And then I would do a dance.

But my talk was written for me by somebody else too.

A dozen million times.

Yeah.

Like if I really sit down, I could literally do it off the top of my head right now.

My dad wrote it with another person.

The talking part, yes.

Doing the dance, no, because that was 100% me.

And that's what I loved and that's what I wanted at the time.

And I fought to get that into the speech and everything and make it more engaging and a chance for me to kind of take a break from being at the pulpit and do something that I can actually speak to, but through movement.

Yeah.

And I really, really thought that I was going to be doing it till the day I died.

Pretty much.

I'd watch 65-year-old men get up on stage and do their spiel.
