In the first inspiring episode hosted by Steve Baskis, we delve into the remarkable journey of Corporal Matthew Bradford, who overcame profound challenges after being wounded in Iraq. Born with a deep sense of duty intensified by the terrorist attacks of 9/11, Matthew’s life took a dramatic turn when he sustained injuries that resulted in the loss of his legs and his sight. Yet, his unwavering spirit and determination led him to become the first blind, double amputee to re-enlist in the Marine Corps. Throughout the interview, Matthew shares his insights on resilience, the power of a supportive community, and his commitment to living a life of purpose and impact, embodying the true essence of never giving up despite life’s toughest battles.
