Episode #205: Outlast Adversity With A Smile! Featuring Clay Boatright
“Life happens, stuff happens. Oftentimes, I don't have any control over what happens. What I do control is how I respond to it and it's that response that you can make the difference on a good experience or a bad experience, positive opportunities coming out of that, etc. The situation, the occurrence, the instigator, it may be completely out of my control, what is in my control is what I want to do about it.”

A native of Memphis, Tennessee, Clay Boatright has lived in Texas since 1994, where he and his wife Carole raised three daughters, including identical twins with severe intellectual disabilities and autism.
Six months after becoming empty nesters, my wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and passed away eighteen months later. Following Carole’s death, Clay maintains a close relationship with his daughters and embraces the future with enthusiasm and a desire to help everyone know that God has a plan for their lives.
His book, “God’s Plan, Our Circus” uses humor & faith to inspire people going through difficult challenges, such as raising children with severe autism, long-term illness, or premature death of a spouse. Based on his nique life experiences, this book will change perspectives and help people envision new options for themselves, their families, and their future.
