"I just wake up and thank God that I'm alive because I didn’t have to be. I’ve been through the fire." - Carlos Spann

Today you get to hear from my old friend and colleague, Carlos Spann, about his diagnosis and journey with MS.

Carlos is a photo journalist who was just inducted into the Nevada Broadcasters Hall of Fame in October 2021. During his career in news, at just 33 years old, he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. He’s also a divorced man with a six year old son - now living in Atlanta Georgia.

In this conversation we talk about:

• what it was like to get that MS diagnosis
• What keeps him going with a hopeful attitude rather than one of hopelessness
• The miracles he's received when he needed the push to keep going for just one day at a time
• And how he’s remained positive with MS amid a very difficult year
