Casey Smith: Inspiration is Alive & Well in Michigan

In this show, we interview the remarkable Casey Smith, a senior at Central Michigan University. Although Casey would describe himself as an "average Joe" he is anything but that. At one point weighing 385 pounds, Casey decided "enough" and was determined to turn his life around. Note only did he succeed in bringing down his weight, he realized his vision of creating a non-profit called "Cleat Repeat" (http://www.cleatrepeat.org) that distributes sports equipment to needy children. Michigan may conjure up images of depression and despair, but as Casey' example shows, there is inspiration and magic in us all if we are just willing to do the work to make it grow.
