In this powerful episode, Matt and Pat sit down with Mike Wolo — an outdoorsman and sports enthusiast whose life changed forever when 10,000 lbs. of granite crushed his head to under three inches wide. Told he’d never live the same life after a traumatic brain injury, Mike set out to prove everyone wrong.

From relearning everyday skills to returning to biking, snowmobiling, and even becoming a starting defensive tackle for a semi-pro football team — at twice the age of his teammates and with 110 titanium screws in his face — Mike’s story is one of grit, resilience, and heart. Along the way, he rebuilt his self-confidence, found love, and reconnected with the kindness of those who helped him through his darkest days.

This is more than a survival story. This is about setting impossible goals, knocking them down, and bringing life full circle.
