How to Rebuild Your Life When Everything—Even the Way You Sleep—Changes Forever

He’s Legally Blind, but He’s a Touring Rockstar. (No Excuses)

If your world went pitch black tomorrow, would you stop moving, or would you start listening closer? We all talk a big game about “resilience,” but Wayne Stokely is living it on a global stage with a pair of drumsticks and zero vision. Most people treat their worst day like a finish line, but what if that day never actually ended? Chris and Seth sit down to find out how you find the rhythm when you can’t see the floor beneath your feet—and why your “excuses” just ran out of road. #ChrisAkin #SethWilliams #LimpingOutOfTheFire #BurnSurvivor #Amputee #DiabetesAwareness #Survival #Resilience #OvercomingAdversity This is a public episode.

Why Your Prosthetic Doesn’t Fit (And How to Trust Your "Fake" Knee)

How would you react if the one thing that connects you to the world—your ability to walk—was stripped away in an instant? Most people see the prosthetic leg; they don't see the sweat, the blood, or the rotting sleeves that feel like "death" after three years of wear. Join Chris and Seth as they talk with Josh Green about the terrifying vulnerability of being manhandled in a hospital bed and why the hardest part of recovery isn't the physical pain, but the mental games your mind plays when you're at your lowest.
