one of the right and wings and you liked you for that.

Used to be one of the right and ones and you liked you for that.

Danny Bert is a world adaptive surfing champion, doctor of physical therapy, and above-knee amputee.

In 2004, Danny was in a motorcycle crash that put her in a coma for 45 days.

She woke up completely hopeless and even suicidal.

Today we talk about her origin story and life up until that moment, what she experienced

while she was in that coma, and how she was able to convert her anger and depression into

positive growth, and why she's devoted the rest of her life towards helping others to find

the same level of empowerment. This opportunity to hear Danny's remarkable story was made possible

by Rain, Optics, and Eyewear. Much like Danny herself, Rain is based in San Diego, and I'm proud

not only to wear Rain Eyewear, but to partner with them. Two Surf Industry brothers founded

the company, Justin and Jeremy Haidt.

So many of the surf brand eyewear that was available in my youth was just kind of a category

extension of a clothing or a board short brand. The Height Brothers, however, founded Rain in 2001

with the goal of fashion and design focused eyewear, born from the surf world that utilized the highest

quality materials and hand cut and assembled manufacturing. You've seen their eyewear on Alex

Nost, Tia Bianco, Cassia Mador, and Josie Prendergast, just to name a few, and you can save

20% off any purchase on Rain.com by using our promo code podcast.

You'll support our work here, you'll look good doing it and you'll have the frames for a really long time.

They're actually really well made.
