I’ve had more than 200 people come on this podcast and share a story of something crazy that they’ve been through. If nothing else, I’ve learned one thing. Life can change in an instant.

For Dan, he’s just enjoying the outdoors on a trail in Alaska, and suddenly he’s on his back with the snout of a grizzly bear in his face.

Amy was just at work in her office in Oklahoma – then just seconds later she’s trapped under a pile of rubble and a bomb blew up her building.

Kennedy was just driving her car – then she loses control and finds herself literally hanging by her leg from the power line.

These are all regular people, just like you and me. They were just going about their life, and suddenly they got a big scary surprise.

My guest today is Carly. She actually lives not far from me so we recently met in person. Carly was out with her family once, just driving around looking at the neighborhood Christmas lights.

And then she spotted someone who was in desperate need of help.
