THE KELLY CARDENAS PODCAST

PRESENTS

James E. Dixon was born with poor blood circulation that necessitated thirty three surgeries before his 11th birthday, and eventually resulted in unilateral amputation below the knee. James learned to overcome his disability by playing sports like basketball and was offered a Division III scholarship. He began weight lifting in college, which sparked a lifelong passion that led to record setting achievements. After graduating, he gravitated towards people-focused careers: sales, restaurant entrepreneurship, television, exposition host, and ministry. James hid his amputation along each career path, but eventually shared, changing his life and creating a platform that offers hope to others. Today his motivational speeches are featured weekly to 1.4M subscribers on the YouTube’s Absolute Motivation channel and to 32K followers on Instagram. He is also a model for Under Armor, slated as the 2023 NFL combine Keynote Speaker, and a proud father of three who residing in the Indianapolis area.
