Get Up Nation®! My name is Ben Biddick. I’m the Creator and Host of the Get Up Nation® Show and Co-Author of Get Up: The Art of Perseverance with former Major League Baseball player Adam Greenberg. Recently I had the honor and privilege of speaking with William Hung. William is a Hong Kong born American motivational speaker and former singer who gained fame in early 2004 as a result of his audition performance of Ricky Martin’s Song She Bangs on the third season of the television Series American Idol.
