One of the truly rewarding things about being a motivational speaker is getting to meet the people(?) who attend your seminars.  At  a recent Shove it Upwards! speaking engagement, I was privileged to have been introduced to Manipede, an entity who is truly working with what he’s got to live a fully-actualized life!  We spent some special moments together backstage, and I learned of his incredible story: back when he was a human, he was bitten by a chemically-altered millipede, and all too soon began to take on the characteristics of the arthropod that had gnawed on his flesh.

Undaunted by this turn of events, Manipede is thriving: he stands before us now a proud, fun-loving individual.  A party animal and an unabashed ladies’ man (well, ladies’ Man-ipede), this inspirational creature is even the star of his own movie, The Burbank Playas Present: Manipede!

Perhaps only eleven or twelve of us will ever find ourselves being bitten by a millipede and transforming into a frightening half-human thing.  When that does happen, how we deal with it will be totally up to us.  But with this well-dressed, upbeat freak of nature leading the way, we will know there is only one way to deal with it: empow-WOW-eringly!

Thanks, Manipede!
