Dave Sanderson, the last passenger to exit US Airways Flight 1549, shares his harrowing tale of survival during the "Miracle on the Hudson." As the plane's engines failed due to a bird strike, Dave recounts his emotional and psychological journey, from saying a prayer to making a final call to his wife, all within the intense four-minute descent. This experience not only reshaped his life but also set him on a path to becoming a motivational speaker and author, driven by a newfound appreciation for life's unpredictable moments and the power of having a plan during crises.

This episode dives into Dave's personal transformation, exploring how surviving such a dramatic event shifted his perspective on life and others.

Through a candid conversation, he shares insights on the importance of understanding people's backstories, remaining vigilant in life and travel, and the critical role of safety instructions—lessons that have greatly influenced his post-accident endeavors.

From the challenges of leaving the corporate world to build a personal brand, to mastering public speaking skills and investing in personal development, Dave offers a treasure trove of wisdom. He sheds light on the significance of self-investment, the impact of mentors like Zig Ziglar and Tony Robbins, and the strategies for overcoming fears and criticism.
