What if everything that defined you—your body, your talent, your future—was taken away in a single moment?
At 16, Boone was a rising multi-sport star with college scouts watching his every move. But one routine football play changed everything. A C4 spinal cord injury left him a quadriplegic. No feeling. No movement. No future as he knew it.

For three years, Boone battled suicidal thoughts in silence. To the world, he smiled. Behind closed doors, he was crumbling.
His breakthrough? Not a miracle surgery. Not a viral video. Just a walk into a college gym with a new mindset—and a fire that changed everything.

"My life didn’t change. I did."

In this raw and powerful episode, Boone takes us through the dark, the grit, and the climb back. From learning to put on shoes one shaky finger at a time to conquering the outdoors with adaptive gear, Boone proves that resilience isn’t about recovery—it’s about reinvention.

If you've ever felt stuck, broken, or hopeless—this story is your wake-up call.

🔥 How to break the loop of negativity
🔥 Why your mindset is your life
🔥 What it takes to spark change when everything feels impossible

This is more than a comeback story. It’s a masterclass in choosing life when everything inside you says give up.
