Welcome to John Gordon's Positive University podcast. My name is Daniel Decker. I'm the co-host of

Positive You. And on this episode, John Talks with Austin Hatch. Austin has the rare distinction of being someone who has survived two plane crashes.

The odds of this happening are almost unimaginable.

It is miraculous as this is, the doctors believe it was even more miraculous that Austin not only

walked again, but graduated high school, attended Michigan, and joined the basketball team.

His story is amazing, but even more powerful is his perspective on life after surviving the crashes which took the lives of his mom, dad, brother, and sister.

You'll definitely be encouraged by what Austin has to share.
