Stephen Hopson, born deaf, tells stories from his life and lessons he learned

On this Writers’ Voices, we’ll be speaking with Stephen Hopson. Stephen was born deaf, but had the dream at a young age to become a pilot. He made aviation history, as an adult, by becoming the world’s first deaf instrument-rated pilot. For 15 years, he also had a very successful career on Wall Street. In 1996 he had an epiphany that inspired him to leave Wall Street behind to pursue a career as a motivational speaker and author. His first book, “Obstacle Illusions; Transforming Adversity into Success” tells stories from Stephen’s life, from childhood to adulthood, and shares lessons he has learned along the way.
