Because survival doesn’t end in the moment… it unfolds in the days, months, and years that follow.We talk about the aftermath, what it’s like to have your story told by the media, and what that experience reveals about how we cover violent crime. And we sit in a question that isn’t easy to answer — forgiveness.Dan and I knew each other long before this, back in high school, which makes this conversation even more personal.It’s heavy. It’s honest. And it offers a rare window into survival, resilience, and what it means to keep going after the unthinkable.This episode is sponsored by Dude Wow Cocktails — bold flavor, real ingredients, and yes… it’s really good.Get 10% off with code TURBULENCE26.
