Summary
In 2012, Andrew Oberle’s life changed in an instant when a chimpanzee attack left him fighting for survival. But that’s just the beginning of his story.
Today, Andrew opens up about the passion that led him to study chimpanzees, the brutal attack that nearly took his life, and the long road to recovery—one that required over 28 surgeries and a world of support. More than just surviving, Andrew found a new purpose: helping trauma survivors heal, using his own journey to inspire others.
My friends, whether you’re dealing with a challenge of your own or simply need a reminder of the power of resilience, Andrew’s story is one you won’t want to miss.
