Orrin “Checkmate” Hudson is a former Alabama state trooper, Air Force veteran, and world renowned chess champion. He is the author of the #1 Amazon best seller, One Move at a Time, How to Win at Chess and Life. He is a captivating speaker/facilitator and is the founder of Be Someone, a Georgia-based nonprofit which provides a youth-focused leadership skills development program on how to win in life using the game of chess. His formula – using the chess board – teaches that for every move that is made, whether it is playing the game or living as a contributing citizen, there is a corresponding positive or negative consequence. Hudson’s ultimate vision is to serve one million at risk students using his motivating mantra: “Get Your Heads-Up!!, Pants-Up! and Grades-Up!, and most of all, to “Never Give Up! – No Matter What!”
In this episode, Orrin and Brad talk about Orrin’s mission for empowering kids to be better.
