Ted Williams, a 2nd Chance.



2nd chance stories touch us. This one is really no different from the rest. Ted Williams, a homeless man, living on the streets of Ohio, has what people are calling a "Golden Radio Voice". He was the center of the first "viral" video of 2011.

Again, 2011 looks to be as if it's a turning point for more than just myself. Ted Williams will remember 2011 as the year for him as well. He has become an overnight sensation, literally. He has been offered jobs hand over fist, a mortgage, TV and radio appearances, etc. I have heard people say, that "He is set for life." Major brands, and companies are all clamoring for his voice. Are they willing to provide the man with guidance as well as a paycheck, so that he can truly succeed?

Everyone should be given a 2nd chance, I am definitely not disputing that. I am going to point out the obvious, this is a man that, for one reason or another, turned to drugs and alcohol once before. My hopes for him is that along with these offers, help with the overwhelming opportunities comes with these packages. This is a man who despite his authenticity, will need help. He will not be set for life, unless he has help to manage these offers, and help to remain clean.

I'm sure many of us will be watching more as his story unfolds further, as the voyeur effect has now reached it's peak.
