On the podcast we have JP and Crystal Lane! JP is a former 12 Bravo Combat Engineer in the US Army. During his time in the Army JP was blown up by a 200 pound IED bomb in 2011. That explosion resulted in 26 injuries, 28 surgeries, 6 weeks in a coma, and JP losing the lower parts of both of his legs. Even after all of that, being a double amputee and having his life permanently altered JP says that he is thankful that he was blown up because it was at that point the most impactful and inspiring part of his story started. JP shares his journey through recovery, the intense physical and mental work he had to do to fully recover and no longer be a Wounded Warrior but to be a Warrior that is healed. JP travels around the country and the world sharing his story and playing his music. He is now a successful musician that has played with a number of world-renowned artists and also performed live at two Presidential Inaugurations. JP is one of the most positive minded, mentally strong people we have ever met and may ever meet. In this podcast we really only scratch the surface of his story, his struggle, and his triumphs. Very soon after recording this podcast JP’s book titled “Walking Again” will be published. It will drop on September 11th, 2019 and JP talks about his writing process but also shares a few more details that will be in the book. We could have recorded for 5 hours and still not gotten to everything. Thanks for listening!
