Second Shot

The long journey to 200 episodes is finally over! Look back with Heath and Jenny on the beginnings of this humble podcast and stick around as they answer questions from the Second Shot Facebook group. What would they be doing if they had to pick a different career? What's their best quality? Where are Zach and Matt??? The road to 300 starts tomorrow, so for now, enjoy this special episode of Second Shot!

What happens when your big success is labeled by others as dumb luck? Do you embrace it, change the narrative, or doubt yourself? One football player could have found his career capped off with a joke, but to some, a win is a win. And would you pay a premium on pre-damaged luggage? Is it worth keeping something pristine as the day you got it, or to the scratches and scars tell a story of their own? There's no better deal on Black Friday than a FREE new episode of Second Shot!

Dr. Robb Kelly seemed to have "it all" -- a wife, two great kids, elaborate vacations, a mansion and fancy cars. He had a PHD in Psychology and a successful career. He was also an alcoholic who went on to lose "it all". He eventually found himself homeless and alone.

In this Second Shot Sitdown, Robb details how he got his life back and got a Second Shot. He now helps others struggling with addiction in a VIRTUAL setting. Yes, almost all of the treatment is done through video conferencing and over the phone.

At the age of three, Anne Grady's son tried to kill her. By age four, he was on an anti depressant. He would spend years in and out of the hospital and treatment centers.

Today, she's a best-selling author and two-time Tedx speaker. Anne started studying the brain and neurodevelopment to find answers while searching for treatment options for her son, and dealing with her own health diagnosis.

In this Second Shot Sitdown, Anne discusses how her life experiences built resilience and how she took a Second Shot at life, through the science-based approach of Mind Over Moment.

Mark Henick details his near death experience -- when a stranger grasped him as he tried to take his own life as he jumped off a bridge.

His experience and mental health journey led to his powerful TEDx talk about suicide, which is one of the most watched in the world, and inspired his powerful new release, So-Called Normal: A Memoir of Family, Depression and Resilience.

Mark explains his painful upbringing and how he took at Second Shot at life and learned to help others in the process.

The gang is all back together, and in studio this time! We have a traditional helping of Second Shot for you, as we ask (and possibly answer) the question "How fast is too fast?" Also, how many family members are too many to take on a first date? If your answer was anything less than a couple dozen, you're thinking too small for one woman. Strap into your five-point harness and hold on for another white-knuckle Second Shot!

THE Trent Shelton (former NFL player turned speaker and internationally renowned coach) gets REAL with us in this episode.

He reaches more than 50 million people weekly through his social media accounts and NOW he's sharing the story of how he got a Second Shot after his football career ended. He talks about how to stop identifying yourself by your career, how to singlehandedly pull yourself out of a funk and how to take responsibility in a way that will transform your life.

Trent is the author of several books, including the newly released,
