Happiness is a choice, and when faced with decades of extreme challenges, Clay proved that positive attitudes invigorate life, create options we had not foreseen, and improve the perspectives of others. His late wife and he had three daughters, including identical twins who both have severe autism and intellectual disabilities.  Due to a faith-based experience when the twins were young, Clay had two full time careers for almost twenty years, one to pay the bills and one to fulfill his purpose.  Six months after becoming empty nesters, his wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and passed away eighteen months later. As a result, he launched Clay 2.0 to pursue a new life with excitement. This is a powerful conversation, not to be missed."}
