A Life-changing Podcast
Thanks to Dan Schreiber for recommending this podcast in his ‘We Can Be Weirdos’ podcast. Jonathan Goodwin narrates how grateful he is to be alive despite being left paralysed after a daredevil stunt goes catastrophically wrong. A truly uplifting tale which has changed my outlook on life. Get busy living or get busy dying. It’s not a rehearsal folks - enjoy!
