EPISODE 345: The Awe Inspiring Sidney Smith May 25, 2018

Show notes

Sidney Smith was born with Charcot-Marie-Tooth, a disease which causes structural foot damage and muscle wasting through the leg. Sid made the tough choice to have both his legs amputated rather than spend the rest of his life in a wheel chair. While in the hospital he decided if he ever got out of there, he was going to compete in an Ironman Triathlon. We talk about how it felt when he woke up and both his legs were gone. How life has changed since then and how he is giving back to help someone else receive a new prosthetic leg.

"CHALLENGES ARE WHAT MAKES LIFE INTERESTING

Every Day was a battle – Giving up was never an option. Born with Charcot-Marie-Tooth, a disease which causes structural foot deformities and muscle wasting throughout the leg, Sidney Smith refused to surrender. With a family to provide for and a desire to live life to its fullest, Sid made the decision to forego the risk of bone fusion in both legs and became a double amputee."

Not much point in having a voice if you don't use it. If you believe in something I think you need to stand up and talk about it. Gun violence and Parkland school shooting. Getting at the TRUTH of things. What are the FACTS? Be open to knew information, like Joe Rogan. Last week I posted in regards to 2nd amendment. Engaged in really good discussions.

Washington Post - School shootings are extraordinarily rare, why is fear of them driving policy? Ben Shapiro 11: 46 - How much risk do you want to eliminate in the world we live in? What is the goal?
