Remembering September 11 with Firefighter Matt Long

FDNY hero and Ironman Matt Long came back to a thriving life after doctors told his family he had a one to five percent chance to live. If you're feeling knocked down, and almost out, by life right now, this is the interview you need to hear. You will walk away feeling that the impossible is doable and that miracles can happen. You will also be reminded of this podcast's tagline, "Failure is Opportunity", as you hear how Matt' did not merely survive his near-death crash, when he was literally run over by a bus on his bike, he has thrived as a result of what he went through, now using his story to inspire others through speaking and coaching. He is a true, real-life hero. We planned on returning to our new releases after Labor Day until we realized that the very next Friday landed on 9/11. We could not be more honored to present one of the courageous men who put his life on the line on that dark day in American history as 9/11 marked the beginning of a new journey for Matt after losing so many brothers.  Never forget, never lay down and die, and remember what Matt told himself about walking (and running) again as he was sentenced to a wheelchair and attached to a colostamy bag: I WILL!  Hosted on Acast.
