Ep 312 John Thompson Shares His Losing Both Arms Story

from Professor of Perseverance Podcast · host Dr James Perdue Professor of Perseverance

At 18 years old, John Thompson had both arms ripped off below the shoulders when his shirt became caught in a tractor's power takeoff shaft on his family’s North Dakota farm. After his arms were ripped off, he walked to his home, used his mouth to dial for help, and was later successful in having his arms reattached. Get inspired, learn to persevere, and order his book.
