Perspectives S34/Ep31: Tiran Jackson is choosing Resilience

Our program today is about resilience. It’s a word used often in the wake of the covid-19 pandemic of the last 2 and a half years, but this conversation will be about resilience in a different way. My guest is Tiran Jackson. You may have heard his story in the spring of 2018 – seems like a lifetime ago. He and his wife Maleka had traveled to the Bahamas to celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary. Then tragedy struck. On an excursion to swim with feral pigs, the Jacksons boat exploded killing Maleka and critically injuring Tiran. He shares his story of survival and comeback in a new book, choosing Resilience, All Things Work Together for Good.
