Alex Lewis, our guest in this interview, is one of those people.

Before Alex lost his limbs and his lips, he was—as he describes himself—just a regular guy, with a partner and a two-year-old son, who ran a restaurant and who was primarily a stay-at-home dad.

All this, however, changed in November 2013 when he fell ill.

If you’d like to engage more with this interview, you can also watch the videotaped version on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/wW5PIqnc2II

Some of the Questions:

• What happened in November 2013 when you thought you only had a common cold? What did those days seem like and when did you know something was not right?
• Is there something you would say to the “old you” (the one with limbs) that you feel could have helped you to live a better life?
• I read somewhere that you really liked the book Man's Search for Meaning by Víctor Frankl. What parts of the book spoke to you the most?

What You Will Learn from this Episode:

• When and why Alex decided to fight and not remain a victim
• How he has learned to accept the changes that had happened to his body and to feel okay with them
• Why Alex received a personal invitation from Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay

We at The IPS Project are delighted to present the IPS T-Shirts: t-shirts that change the world. 

Not only does each t-shirt design tell a story and carry a message of light waiting to be spread in your life and to those around you, but, with each purchase, you also get to choose the cause you would like to support where part of your money will go.

The causes that these shirts support vary from the environment to animals, to those struggling with mental health issues, suicidal thoughts, loneliness, and diseases such as cancer.

For further information about the IPS T-Shirts and about the good causes you can support, simply go to https://theipsproject.com/shirt/ and take a look at these stunning t-shirts that can change the world.
