What does it take to defy gravity—literally and figuratively? This week on Sports Will Save Us All, host Sasha Graham sits down with Michael Glen, known around the world as The Rolling Pilot, to explore that question from 2,000 feet in the air.

Michael became the world's first paraplegic licensed hot air balloon pilot after a life-altering car accident in 1996 left him paralyzed from the waist down. Told he couldn’t, he spent 10 years proving he could—and in 2006, he did just that. Since then, he’s flown around the globe, inspired others to follow in his path, and completely reimagined what accessibility looks like in the skies.

Michael’s story is one of bold action, creative problem-solving, and deep love for a sport that few truly understand. This isn’t just a story about ballooning. It’s a story about charting your own course—and bringing joy to people everywhere.
