    In this powerful episode, we are joined by Zac Matthews, a miraculous survivor of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the neck that resulted in a total paralysis for many months. Against all odds, Zac regained his feeling and now looks forward to a new life ahead of him.

    One year ago, in July 2024, Zac attempted to end his life with a bullet to the neck, leaving him paralyzed but ALIVE. Zac shares with us the events leading up to his suicide attempt and the moments of waking up award, unsure of what his future held in a life he had tried to end. Over the past year, Zac has risen from the brink of death to walking and functioning well once again. He believes his survival is a miracle and feels privileged to continue living when his life could have ended.

By making positive changes and redirecting pain and depression, one can find a new and healthy path. Life is a precious blessing and Zac's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Do not give up! With every hard day, there is a new day coming that can bring hope and happiness. Thank you Zac for being on the show!

  • Episode #58 A Close Call With Death with guest Elizabeth Howard
    Jun 21 2024

    On a ten year anniversary of a near death incident my niece Elizabeth Howard said on this last Father's Day, that she had a desire to share her story and give thanks to her Dad Phil Howard, my brother, for the life saving action he provided to save Elizabeth from plummeting off a 50 foot cliff in Southern Moab Utah National Park. This will be the youngest interviewee I have had on the show and it is short in duration but a great reflection and tribute to a Dad on Father's Day of all days. Very timely and cute. Thanks Elizabeth for being on the show!
