Listen "Luca Patuelli"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we have Luca Patuelli - a Canadian breakdancer who goes by the stage name 'Bboy Lazylegz'. He's also the Vice Chair of Disability Without Poverty.Luca was born with Arthrogryposis, a condition that limits the use of joints and growth of muscles in his legs and causes stiffness in his shoulders. At the age of 15, prevented from skating on his knees after an alignment surgery, Luca took to breakdancing and started using his crutches as part of his dance movements. Soon, Luca became popular, viral—in fact— in a time before YouTube and social media. He exemplifies 'Possibility' through and through. Today, Luca is a father, motivational speaker, a breakdance judge for both able-bodied and disabled dance contestants, and a touring artist having performed in 41 countries till date. Luca's personal stories and infectious positivity will inspire you to overcome odds, and find a passion or activity that will distract you from your self-doubts and insecurities.Watch a TEDx talk by Luca titled 'No Excuses, No Limits'.
