Episode Details

What if the gift that saves your life is hidden inside the thing you never expected—like a kid from the projects becoming a world-renowned pro through one “chance” moment?

In this inspirational episode of Real Talk With Reginald D, Reginald D sits down with Wally Green, a world-renowned table tennis (ping pong) pro whose inspirational story proves that purpose can be found in the most unexpected places. From growing up in the Brooklyn projects surrounded by trauma, abuse, and gang life, to traveling the world as a professional athlete, Wally’s journey is a powerful example of self-improvement, resilience, and mindset transformation.
Wally shares how sports became his escape, how he discovered table tennis by accident, and how his authenticity and swagger opened doors to global opportunities—including being sponsored by Rockstar Games, appearing on major media platforms, and helping build the SPIN New York table tennis brand with support from Susan Sarandon. 

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overlooked, or like your environment is louder than your dreams, Wally’s story shows you what’s possible when you commit to self-improvement, take your mindset seriously, and keep moving even when you don’t have it all figured out. If you need hope, direction, and the reminder that your gift can take you further than your pain ever did—especially when you stay authentic and choose growth with faith and motivation than listen now.

• A powerful inspirational story that proves your background doesn’t cancel your future—and your purpose can be bigger than your pain
• Real self-improvement lessons on mindset change, authenticity, discipline, and how being yourself becomes your superpower
• Motivational and inspirational fuel to help you believe in you, stay resilient, and keep pushing with faith and motivation even when life feels stacked against you
