175: True Story of Living a Life of Impact, Despite Disability With Alvin Law & Kevin Bees Profit Maximisation Expert

A victim of the infamous morning sickness medication, Thalidomide, Alvin was born without
arms in 1960. By five days of age, his own family abandoned him, leaving him in the hospital
in the care of a social worker who was the only person who didn’t write him off.

A Certified Speaking Professional, is a designation owned by less than seven percent of
professional speakers worldwide. He is a best selling author of Alvin’s Laws Of Life…5 Steps
to Successfully Overcome Anything! He is actually in not one, but Two Halls of Fame. The
Canadian Professional Speakers and the Canadian Disability Foundation each inducted him
for his remarkable achievements and the epitome of resiliency and determination.

Alvin loves to use his story as proof that “Attitude” is so much more than an overused word.
As another cliche goes…It Is Everything! In fact, science is even acknowledging that it
changes our internal body chemistry and is the key to winning the battle with mental health
that has become such an important issue in our world. Alvin should know. He began his life
with the odds stacked completely against him.

He has an actual Emmy award for a short feature film on ABC-TV in America. He played a
credited role on the hit TV show X-Files, and a film by renowned director Harmony Korine
called Julien…Donkey Boy (Yes, it was weird). He’s also appeared on over 100 telethons and
since 1976, had been directly involved in raising over $225,000,000 for charity.
