I'm very excited for our guest today. His name is Brian Anderson and he has done two tours of duty in Iraq with the army and while on a routine assignment in October of 2005, Brian was driving a Humvee and went over an explosive device.

The explosion was so devastating that he was literally blown up, losing both his legs and one arm. He is an inspiring individual with some great principles that we should all put into practice.  

And while we all have challenges, I can say with certainty, Brian's is probably one of the most challenging that I've ever heard of. You do not want to miss this episode!
