Thank you so much, James Dixon, for coming to the show. Welcome.
I'm honored to be here not just because of the opportunity to talk with you, but because you speak to so many people about the most important thing there is which is true education.
It's very much needed right now so thank you for being here. I want to ask you. You're now playing the top-level game. You're a motivational speaker and bestselling international author. Do you have an amazing movie coming out?
Yes. I have a movie coming out. 2024 would be big.
From what you learned at school, how much of that has helped you in becoming who you are now?
I’m glad you asked that. The most important figures in my life have been educators. I wish I could say that it's a culmination of, “No, it's just the right time for all these things or right decisions I made,” but literally when I was in elementary school the first time I was in a play and being subconscious about my being an amputee, I had a drama teacher that incorporated a scene that allowed me to hop across the stage and had every other kid do the very same thing so she created something with me in it.
Another moment I remember an educator building confidence in me and putting me in public speaking and saying to James, “I want you to get up and speak,” and it was kind of a spark plug to the will that I have in life now. Another situation that I can remember is teachers intervening, telling me not to drop out of school, and not to give up because of the hardships of being poverty-driven or living in the Inner City.
I think about even the educators who stepped in and wrote the letters of recommendation that allowed me to go to college. Educators were my heroes. If it wasn't for them stepping in and intervening as a parent to a kid who didn't always have both parents active in his life. Those educators are much more than educators. They are influencers of a whole new kind.
Educators are influencers of a whole new kind.
Do you remember their names?
I do. Miss Hyman was one of them. She was the first one that ever made me feel loved by an educator. I can remember Miss Fox. She was in high school. She's the one that held me accountable and she was so difficult and hard on me. I was like man, “I can't stand it. Everyone else just lets me coast but Miss Fox demanded more of me.” I think about Miss Teeters. She was the one who told me about what I could be. They talked to me about dreams.
Also, Miss Lau. It seemed like they were all women there but there was one male there but Miss Lau was the one who wrote the letters. They got me into the college and didn't ask her to she just came to me. She said, “It’s time for you to think higher, and said, “I've got a letter of recommendation.” She didn't just get one from herself to me. She got a local senator to write one for me. You can't beat that. Educators do so much more than share information and make sure kids are tested.
Yes, and it helped you so much to become who you are now.
Without them without those building blocks, I don't have a foundation. Educators are everything.
Do you think there are some skills that we're not teaching the kids in the school to come into the real world?
I can think about the more we got caught up on social issues and got into conversations about politics. Those things didn't prepare you. They didn't give me the assets or anything. They don't give kids that now. I wish my kids had the instructors I had because they were able to take the outside world noise and push that away and focus on the development of skill set back. When I was in school, we started off with something called shorthand. They were teaching us different thing typing skills.
I had to learn to cook, how to sew, and things that translated into my everyday life that I would always be able to utilize. Maybe not the shorthand anymore because now they just text and everything's abbreviated but if you have an educator now, the sad thing is many of them get handcuffed from the things they know these kids need. Imagine being there and you're not just in the suburbs of the hot wealthiest kids and you're there too with generational wealth that you're dealing with. You're dealing with kids who don't have wealth. You're dealing with kids that are on fixed income, the poor kids, and stuff like that.
You're dealing with that and you're like, “What do I give this kid? An expectation that nothing's free and that you have to go after it. How do you get into that?” It’s because if you say anything, you could lose your job by saying something like, “Welfare is not for you. You don't need a free lunch. I promise you that you can have many more things in life, but you have to work for it.” That could be translated negatively in our environment now whether you go back and say, “The teacher said Mom because you get free stuff that you're lazy,” or whatever it is. The teacher is not saying that but they're staying for that kid, “You can aspire to be more,” but sadly, I found that a lot of teachers don't have the freedom to say things.
They can get suspended.
When I was in school, there were two genders and now you can't even say that. There used to be a lineup. There were boys on one side and girls on the other. What do you do now? “Those that identify as boys, this side. Those who identify as girls, this side. Those identify as furries, on the middle, and those who identify as any other animal.”
It's a different world and I have so many coaches that are coming into our program. That's why they're leaving because accidentally they mispronounce their pronouns or the word that they want to be called. If it's a cat, they have to call them a cat. For that, they could get suspended and out.
I was talking to some educators in Indiana. I remember speaking at school. An educator came to me and said that they have had a number of kids who said, “I have been trapped. I'm a girl.” “I’m a girl but I know I'm a boy.” They become a boy, they change their name, and they get acknowledged for it. Only for the kids who have done that in sixth grade, then they get the high school, and they want to date so they switch back.
They were like, “We have completely allowed these kids to say they are one thing and we have conformed to it.” How would a twelve-year-old know what they are and how their life should go? You would never give me the keys and let me drive at twelve because you say, “I'm not prepared. I'm not mature. I don't know the finances for the insurance and for the liabilities but yet we allow you to make sexual decisions that can alter the course of your life and touch so many other lives in generations ahead.”
Also, why is it the school is a place that needs to be explored?
I think that there is this thing where there was a generation of teachers who went into it because it was about a mission in life. Someone changed their life, they went in, and they said, “I'm going to go. I'm going to impact people. I'm going to change lives. I'm about to speak into kids’ lives and tell them what they can be. I'm going to transform the future,” and then there's a generation who took the jobs who were like, “I got a degree. I can’t find a job. I've got these crazy philosophies or whatever in life and I don't have any real passions, but I got a degree in the qualifications to teach, I can go do that.”
They fall into a room instead of being called into it. You take the passionate educator who was born for this and for every educator that might see this, thank you. For every one of you, you know that this was a calling, this was a choice. This was a sacrifice. You are on this not by happenstance but by purpose. I'm sorry that you are assigned to work beside people who no longer love kids and don't love what they do. It's a job. As a result of it, they don't have joy. They don't care whatever philosophy they push into kids.
As a product of a person who was groomed at a young age, what's happening in the school systems now, I find that it's what is happening with these conversations at a so young age when they're not ready for it. It's grooming them. You are telling them you can be whatever or whoever and there is confusion.
They had a basketball coach in Indiana. A male coach became the girls’ basketball coach and he was very friendly with the girls. He is very protective. He didn't want the parents involved. He was talking with the kids, spending time, and texting with them kids only to find out that there were some inappropriate relationships. I'm like, “He groomed these kids. He prepared these kids for that,” and to put them in an environment where they couldn't tell or shouldn't tell. The fear of being alienated or not getting playing time or some sense of attention.
When you do this, you ruin these kids. You ruin who they can be and you ruined the boundary lines of trust. You're taking advantage of them. The more that we see this, just as we see if someone can groom them for wrong, what if we groom the children for right?” However, in order to do so, you almost have to step outside of the traditional school system. I can see many educators and you could tell me if I'm right here. Many educators are probably getting fed up with, “If I can't teach them, if I'm not given the freedom, if you're going to handcuff me, then I’d rather walk away.” When the good ones walk away, it leaves the inmates to run the asylum.
Yes, and my mission is to stop them because based on this, all of the passionate teachers are the ones who are leaving because they're not there for the paycheck. Teachers don’t make a lot of money so that paycheck is not why we are there every day giving more than everything we can like. You mentioned all these teachers who made an impact and a space in your heart for the rest of your life. They gave you that step in the beginning. There are so many people leaving that are supposed to be in the school system so the leftovers are the ones school should not be there.
Do you know that one of the biggest joys in my life is going back to my school to see those teachers? I can remember walking back into my high school. I walked in and I saw one of my teachers, Miss Teeters. I wanted to thank her for who she made me. I needed her to see that what she did wasn't in vain. We need teachers. We need them focused. We need their intention in our lives. We need their impact and influence. All I can say is that I thank you for what you're doing in their lives because by helping keep them on the battlefield, there are kids who are going to get a win.
We need teachers. We need their intention in our lives. We need their impact and influence.
James, you had throughout your life a label, or let's go back to your actual beginning with your mom. The words your parents say, how much impact do they have in your life? I had a parent who was an alcoholic as well. Tell me about the impact that it had on your life.
My whole life is crafted behind words. Words are everything. Words create worlds. In my first conversations growing up, my dad would always say, “There's no way you could be mine with a disability. You're crippled. I can't make cripples.” I felt rejected by my father for that. Something I couldn't control was how was born, what I was born with, and the challenges I had to face so to have my father say, “There is no way you could be mine.”
Also, my mother told me that I had to be realistic. I would never be anything more than a cripple or that she wished that I had AIDS or HIV positive instead of Magic Johnson the basketball player her favorite player because she said, “He's doing something positive in the world.” You can imagine when you have those who are supposed to love you most tell you that you'll never be or define you in the most derogatory ways to tear you down, my teachers had to be in my life to speak life over me. I spent a lot of time with the teachers. The time spent with them was an investment and they invested into who I could be by telling me I'm more than those labels.
How did you handle the label?
I have to say I accepted because coming from your mom and dad, why would you think it's not true? They're the most influential people in your life and until you can hear someone give you the opposite, you don't know. Your mom says that you're dumb and you're stupid. Somehow some way that seeps into your consciousness. It creates these doubts and fears. Children aren't born believing they are stupid. They're born believing they can do anything. In fact, they are born with fewer fears than anyone.
What people are stating can cause you to view yourself in a whole different way. For me, I believe them. It took years to silence those voices out of my head and heart. If it wasn't for educators, education was to give me information that opened my eyes to possibilities. They opened my eyes to what I could be if I could only overcome the labels and then I get to create my own such as a best-selling author instead of a cripple.
If a parent is watching this, what would you tell them if they have it son or daughter born with something that they weren't expecting?
If you've been fortunate enough to have a child that has something to overcome, you've been blessed with someone that is unique and the uniqueness is what makes them so special. Whatever your kid has, whatever the talent it is, or whatever looks like a challenge could be the very thing that makes that kid extraordinary. If Helen Keller can have a name now, if I can have one, in spite of whatever you've gone through, it's going through something that turns you into something.
Your kid’s uniqueness is what makes the story so awesome. Embrace it. Embrace them. Turn it into a superpower and realize that this very thing that they have to deal with can also be the thing that allows them to get deals with it. Why not be the spokesman for the rest of the world? You got to be supportive. Don't label them negatively. Label them a champion.
Your kid’s uniqueness is what makes their story so awesome. Embrace it. Turn it into a superpower and realize that this very thing that they have to deal with can also be the thing that allows them to get deals with it.
What about a child, if they have a disability and they're at school, how did you handle those days with other kids? Do they make fun of you?
I've had the cruelest things. I never even thought I'd be loved. I dated. I never thought to be a potential. I was always full of fear. It couldn't change in front of kids. I couldn't openly admit that I lost my leg because the kids would make fun of me already and if I accepted it or acknowledged it, I thought it would be even worse. I learned to lie and try to hide my identity around them. I had kids who would take sticks, put them into a sock or a shoe, show up at the bus stop, and say, “I found you a leg.” Everyone else would laugh and I had to endure that cruelty.
However, what I found is that as cruel as some of those people were, the reason why I gave them such an audience in my life is because I wanted acceptance from them. When you’re a kid and you're going through that, understand that you've got the power to create your own circle. Find your friends and people that encourage you and embrace them. Cut out everyone else. Don't give them an audience but embrace whoever it is that embraces you.
You have the power to create your own circle. Find new friends. Find new people who encourage you and embrace them.
Get in that circle and hone in on that because a true friend would never mock you. A true friend will never speak down on you or destroy your name. A true friend will build you up and if you can find a true friend, you have gold and those are rare. It's not the fact that you need a crowd around you. You need someone who can circle around you, have your back and you have them.
You also had a profound relationship with your grandma who believed in you.
In all the pictures around me, I found that the friend might even be something you might want to look at as your family too because a family member can also be more than that. For me, my grandmother became my best friend even though she was my grandmother. All the things that I have around me at all times, I always have a picture of my grandmother. The reason why I have that picture there is that there were times in my life when she told me what I could be. She said what I one day could do but I didn't always have that confidence.
For me to be here now achieving all the things that I have, she's already passed and gone on the glory. I wish she were here now so that I could say, “Thank you, Grandma.” I could say, “Grandma, I appreciate you believing in me until I believe in myself.” I keep a photo around so that she always sees her baby and that I hear her. She's still here.
For a child who's going through that, if they're listening or going through that, it's important for them to not have so many people. You only need one person. I only needed one person when I was twelve, too to hear me and notice me. I only wanted one person and you're not there. A lot of the time in this world, we feel like there's so much noise, but you could feel so lonely. How can a person reach out when they're feeling like that?
I’d say that one of the best things you can do, sometimes our feelings would be bottled up. I write. I keep a journal and I write, “How I feel,” and the things that I'm going through. This is precious to me because I get to be authentic and real. It’s only me and my thoughts. What you don't realize is one day that might be the best book ever because of the ups and downs and the things that you feel. One day, you're going to help other people go through it so journal. Talk and get those things out.
Speak to the people who love you because that is a superpower in and of itself. Your son has with you someone who believes in them, someone who speaks positively about him. You've built his confidence and he carries himself and you want him to believe that I can do and achieve anything because you refuse to put limits on him because you broke out of the boundaries of the limits placed on you.
I also was very authentic with him. A lot of parents like to be the perfect parents. When I went through struggles, I told them we were struggling. Now, when I'm successful and he sees me, our struggles can turn into success. My son watched me grow up. We were so close.
That's a wonderful thing and I think that's why you're so passionate about educators because you are one of the most educated, talented, gifted, and loving people on Earth and you make room not only for your own family but for other families. Also, you share that and you share that through being transparent. It would be easy to stand there and as an expert say, “Look at my life. I'm successful. You can too,” but you're like, “We will go through ups and downs. The downs can feel horrible but that's a groin place. You were able to help them go through those moments and find their purpose. That's what makes you so unique.
For young kids who are in school now, with what you're doing out in the world real world. There's a disconnect between what they learn in the classrooms to what is good in the real world. They come out and you know right now there are a lot of kids exiting the classroom who cannot even read or do simple math. That's how they’re exiting. What are some skills they need to focus on? I know you're on a lot of stages.
We have to get a kiss to read. There's so much knowledge in the book. There's so much experience and you can get reading this essential but we have such a few percentage of people that do it. We look at this table kids don't have the ability to learn but they can learn so much resistant they’re looking up at the wrong icons. If you're looking up at a wrapper and a kid can be seven, he'll learn every lyric to a rap song that's trending or popular, or he'll learn a dance and learn all the steps and all those things.
What we have to almost do is tell them, “Do you want to be the most popular wrapper? You have to learn the read and write. Why would I need to learn to read and write? It’s because you can't write your songs if you can't write. You can't read the contracts that you're to sign if you can't read. You have to develop all the skills that are necessary. It's not just a performance and it's important to teach kids things such as manners because of politeness.
Your ability to get along with people is probably the most important power that you have in life. Your personality can take you further than many things but if you're willing, if you can be gregarious a person can be even introverted but you can use that introvertedness in certain fields. Every personality type has a purpose and a perfect spot for them to be able to use. You take a person who's got a critical eye for numbers. They find errors or they're critical.
That person might be the best accountant ever but teaching them how to do that. Even thinks like this. How many kids even know about a checkbook or balancing? The fact that we don't teach that. What do I need in math? What do I ever use in geography? You'll need all those things. You need to see and know the world, and experience things. Maybe that's why reading and things like that are so important because if all you ever know is your neighborhood, all you ever have is your hood. If someone shows you the world, it expands you. It changes you.
You’re no longer thinking about living on your block. You're thinking about living all over, going down and seeing Spain, the architecture, or walking in and seeing some pristine church and seeing the design and the artwork. Learning the story and the history. Going to Utah and seeing mountains. Imagine if you're an inner city kid and all you ever did was live in the projects. I know in Anderson, Indiana that less than 60% of the kids will graduate high school now. If you don't have your high school diploma, where are you going to go? That's why it's so important for us to give kids tools so that they can survive in the real world.
What do you think would be a good solution for kids who say, “I don't need school anymore.” Within the AI world, so many influencers are on YouTube who have tons of money and they're like, “I don't need to go to school.”
“I can be a gamer. I can make so much money on Twitch. Why would I need to go to school?” The biggest reason is for them to show them the history curve. I know you'll understand this. There was a time when it was a place called Blockbuster. Blockbusters growing booming. You can go get a VHS tape. You can go get a CD and all those things. All of that is now gone. In rap music, there was a place for a beatboxer. Do you know who the beatboxer is?
No, I don't.
A beatboxer is instead of a song having a beat with drums, a beatboxer is a person who would make noise with their mouth and they were the actual beat. That was a part of rap. Now, that's all gone. There are no careers in that. There used to be a role for that and now, that's gone. Even if you were to look at all the different things, the segments that were once necessary that all gone now, times change and things evolved. If you try to go do what everyone else is doing and they say, “Everyone's trying to be a YouTuber. Everyone's trying to be a streamer. Everyone has to be on Twitch.”
It’s such a small percentage actually make it in that and even they don't stay there. No one stays in a field forever. It evolves. One day, AI will replace some of those so it's important that a kid develops the skills because there are certain trades. I wish trade schools were still in because for kids who feel like, “I don't need college.” “Okay, but you need to get this high school diploma. You need to get the trade because there will always be a place for a plumber. For the guys to climb the light poles and for the guys who are willing to work construction, there will always be a skill set that is needed. Just like nurses, you'll never not need a nurse.
More importantly, the school helps you wire your brain. It opens up more neurons and you're expanding your brain. If you're going there, you're going to be learning new things to add to your experience and everything. You then become a critical thinker. That's important.
That is the thing, a critical thinker. Do you know what education does? It will put you in front of people that you never thought possible. It'll put you in rooms that expand you. Without education and educators, I don't end up in any of the places I'm in. It wasn't personality or sheer force. You have to have the combination. You have to have that growth. You have the people who challenge you to be more and the accountability. Teachers can be the toughest people but then the toughest teachers you have, you end up loving them the most.
Teachers can be the toughest people, but then the toughest teachers you have are the ones you end up loving the most.
They are part of your comfort zone.
However, nobody likes you guys when you're pushing us. We love you later. “She's so hard. She always says homework.”
Let's end up back to the teachers. What would you tell those teachers who are passionate in the classroom right now and their hands are tied? They're being told what to say, what to do, and what to teach. They are trading for basically, “I'm stuck.” That's what they're saying.
I feel for you because I know what you can do because you did it for me but if you leave, what do we have? There's got to be a way that we can fight back to build resistance. There has to be a way that those of us who know your value have benefited from it and we can become a voice for you. It’s because the louder we get as parents, the louder we get as influencers, and the louder we get as a public, people will respond. Squeaky wheels get oil and we need to get loud for you.
Please don't leave. Let's find a way to fight this thing with skill, intellect, and as a team. You change lives. Unfortunately, when you're not in that place, we will fall to the mean. I'm not talking about which of my kids is coming out less than average. You can't compete on a global stage when you can't even compete locally. You don't even have localized skills let alone worldwide skills but with you in our lives, you give us hope, possibilities, and potential that gets fulfilled.
Thank you, James, so much.
Thank you.
Thank you for showing your grandma. We all got to see her too. I never saw her before so that's nice.
I'm honored to share that with you. You're making a difference.
There's just one person you need. If you're going through a tough time with that one person and you talked about one person. You don't need a crowd, as you said. You don’t need an audience.
You get that one anchor and you'll be solid.
Also, watch Absolute Motivation. Tell us about that a little bit before you leave.
It’s edutainment. Absolute Motivation, the YouTube channel is what it's built for. Educating people and encouraging them so they can go out and make an impact like you.
Is there an age limit, James for your channel? Can young kids watch it?
No. We've made sure we cleaned up the language so that all kids can watch. I would say once the kid is 14 or 15, they can dial in because responsibility and accountability are not as cute. You are interested when you're twelve unless you have the Incredible Hulk or Superman pushing it.
One last question. Why did you get named as the Superman? Who gave you that name?
My grandmother did. She took my disability of losing a leg and said, “You're still Superman. You just have to overcome that kryptonite.” It's a temporary thing. You can overcome it. You just have to see yourself as more than that.
You have a book out about the journey with her.
Yeah. It's called Absolute Motivation. The book is a love story about it. A child with a disability found that the words his grandmother spoke gave life to him to speak to the rest of the world and it changed everything.
Now, he's speaking to the rest of the world and helping them. She's very proud. She's watching you, James.
Thank you, my friend.
Thank you for everything you do and thank you for being a great mentor. I'm so excited for 2024 to see what's going on.
This is going to be a great year. Every year people are like, “New Year, new me.” “No, I don't need a new me. I'm elevating this version of me. You're about to see more than ever before. We were born for this. You have such an influence. You are radiant. You are positive. You are an impulse. You are impactful in such a way. This year, there are going to be some lives touched and changed. I can't wait.
Thank you so much. It's such a pleasure to get mentorship from you so thank you. Thank you for being here and helping teachers, students, and parents understand that disability is not a title you have to make your life into. Grandma gave you a word and that changed everything, the Superman. Thank you so much.

There you have it. That was James Dixon, the Superman. I’m so excited to have him here because he is my mentor. Absolute Motivation is a channel that I’m also going to be a part of. I’m excited for 2024 and I am looking forward to working with him. He is such an amazing human and what he has gone through and what he is doing now is amazing.
If you haven’t looked at this channel, I’d recommend that you look at this channel because it’s going to be growing and growing in the years to come but there’s such beautiful content on his channel so take a look. I want to touch on some of the points that James was sharing with us. One of them is about the teachers who were in his life and how they helped him. He remembered all of those teachers’ names because they were a big part of who he had become.
They made him become the person he is now so it's important that when you're a teacher, it's important to know that you may not be noticing the changes you’re making right now in the midst of chaos. People don't probably see you as you're helping them or you're not being appreciated or they're not saying nice words to you, but we do create the future for so many students and so many people.
James' life has been created and what he has become was created by those amazing teachers who were in his life. As he was saying and talking to young children and young people, you don't need a crowd. You don't need an audience in your life. The only thing you need is one person in your life. I want you to look at your immediate family. I want you to look at your immediate friends and see who is that one friend who will be there for you. Who is that one friend who will support you and who you can open up and be vulnerable and talk to them?
Have one of those people in your life and that's all you need. You don't need a crowd. I was a child like that as well looking for a crowd but I only needed to look for one person. I wasn't doing that. I was looking for a crowd. When we're growing up, we want a lot of people to like us and be around us. We look for many people. We look for an audience. We look for a crowd but t at the end of the day, only one person needs to listen, care, and be there for us.
Also, we need to be that one person and not someone else. In your life, if you can be that person for someone else be that someone else, be that person for them and you can also have that in your life as well. If you are a parent and you are reading this, one of the powerful things that James shared with us in this interview is the words you use to call your child or the words you choose to talk to them with are so important. It’s because when you're a child, you believe everything your parents tell you. Your words become my life.
When my dad called me stupid and when he would compare me to everyone, I believed him. I wasn't bad. I was not a bad kid, but my dad made me believe I was a bad kid because he was not happy the way he wanted me to be but I was a good kid. I was only 6 to 7 years old. I didn't do anything wrong, but it was enough for him. As parents, we have to be so mindful of the words we choose, how we talk to them, and what we share in front of them. The language and the way we address them. Also, the names.
You heard from James how much it has hurt him in this life, but there was one person in his life, his grandma. He has her picture beside him. It’s such a beautiful story. He has he has a book out. As I said, watch his channel Absolute Motivation. I'll see you on another episode and I hope everything he has shared has inspired the teachers and the parents.
