It started with a cold he couldn't shake ... and ended with a miracle in the nick of time that saved his life. In more ways than one, Scott Foster found a new heart, just when he needed it the most. In this conversation, he shares why he now says, "We don't realize how powerful we are."

Scott and I have been friends since 1999 -- twenty years (!?!?!) -- and I'm proud to call him a friend, an ally, and a survivor.

Everyone who listens to this, do me a favor: Check and make sure you are a registered organ donor, and then BE SURE your family knows you want your organs to be used in any way that might save another person's life. It's because of the gift of organ donation that Scott is still here to tell his story. To find out more, visit https://www.organdonor.gov/. It's a powerful way to leave a legacy.
