In this deeply personal episode of After the Wreck, I speak down with a local police officer who found himself on the other side of the law after a devastating drunk driving incident on the highway. Together, we revisit that night, the aftermath, and the long path to recovery. 

In this brief follow-up to our last episode, Mr. Steven Benvenisti returns to share a few final reflections on motivation, happiness, and purpose. After surviving a near-fatal crash, his words remind us that even after life’s wrecks, it’s possible to find gratitude and joy in every moment.

In this episode, I sit down with Steven Benvenisti: a survivor, attorney, and passionate advocate who turned tragedy into purpose. As a victim of drunk driving himself, Mr. Benvenisti serves as an ambassador and board member for MADD in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and has inspired me personally with the lessons he’s taught. It was an absolute honor to hear his story, his mission, and how he channels pain into meaningful change.
