Summary
This is the most powerful and inspirational Industrial Strength Show to date. In this weeks episode - Joe interviews former Rutgers football player Eric LeGrand - who suffered a severe spinal cord injury in 2010 during a game against the Army Black Knights, making him a quadriplegic. Eric was put on a respirator immediately after the injury and doctors told his mother he would need the aid of the machine to continue breathing for the rest of his life. Five weeks later, Eric was independently breathing without the help of the machine. That miraculous recovery speaks volumes about Eric's faith, work ethic, and his incredibly positive outlook on life. Doctor's have given Eric only a 0-5% chance of ever walking again. Yet, after listening to Eric on this podcast, you have no choice but to bELieve Eric WILL WALK AGAIN. Turn the volume up on your speakers because you don't want to miss a word of what this incredible human being has to say!
