4:42Now PlayingWhen comedian Brad Williams was diagnosed with Achondroplasia (dwarfism) as a child, his dad made an unconventional decision: he'd bully his own son to prepare him for a world that "wasn't necessarily designed for me." And Brad says "thank God he did, and thank God my mom let him."
Together, Brad and his dad would write out savage comebacks so Brad would go to school with a "black belt" in humor. His dad would place cereal boxes on high shelves to force his son to problem-solve. Brad says it built a foundation of grit that directly affected his massive success today: millions of views, sold out tours, and a happy family with multiple children of his own.
