- EP 19 - MATIAS FERREIRA
Matias Ferreira is the epitome of overcoming adversity and has proven to many people that you can achieve anything you set your mind too; regardless of your limitations. "Just months into his first deployment in January 2011, Lance Corporal Ferreira lost both legs and broke his pelvis after stepping on an improvised explosive device (IED) in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. Treated by a Navy Corpsman and medically evacuated to Bagram (Afghanistan) hospital, he was flown to Landstuhl, Germany, and then brought to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. There he underwent several surgeries and aggressive therapies. Months later, he eventually learned to walk confidently on prosthetics, advancing to running, and other sports a short time later. He was medically retired in May 2012. Matias is now a police officer for the Suffolk County Police Department in New York. In his free time, he enjoys playing hockey, golf, and softball. He has also run half marathons". Follow Mat on Instagram @matias_n_ferreira

Tim Turane is a 13 year combat veteran of the Army National Guard who deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan before getting out as a Staff Sergeant. Tim is currently running for NYC Council in the 27th District (Jamaica, Queens). You can also find him in the Amazon Video film, 'The New Patriots' which is available now. This conversation (although controversial to some) is one that I think most people need to hear and topics that we covered are some important ones. Enjoy.

Marisa developed auto immune diseases and chronic illness in the later years of her life and battles through them on a day-to-day basis. Although this episode is different than others in which this isn't a story about overcoming adversity (yet!); it is a story to bring awareness to those that deal with the same struggles each and everyday. With COVID still being a factor in everyone's lives still, I think the health talk was the right way to go with this episode. Marisa is also a teacher and a very strong minded person just like others I've had on so far and defies all obstacles with perseverance. Follow her on Instagram @marisaxalana.

This episode is a breakaway from the norm of my usual podcast episodes but he has such an interesting story and I liked his documentary so much that I had to have him on. Ken Eurell was a New York City Police Officer in the 1980's to the early 1990's before he was busted for police corruption and later on, drug dealing. He is in the documentary 'The Seven Five' that was on Netflix but has since been taken down from there and can be seen on Amazon. He is also the author of his book 'Betrayal in Blue'.

The dispatcher calling out over his squad car, Jason in the line of duty began to respond to a possible nearby homicide. As Jason waited for the light to turn green, suddenly and unexpectedly, his Crown Victoria was struck from behind by a taxi cab driver whose car was exceeding 100 miles per hour. Jason’s car instantly burst into flames, and he sat strapped and trapped in his vehicle, burning alive in raging flames that exceeded over 1000 degrees. Crews worked feverishly to save his life, putting their own lives and risk, and after 8 long minutes, Jason was freed, only to discover that over 50 percent of his body had been engulfed in the flames. He had no skin, no face, and no resemblance of the man he use to look like.After arriving at the hospital, Doctors worked for over 7 hours to save Jason’s life. No physician believed Jason would make it through the night. He was covered in 3rd and 4th degree burns throughout his face and torso to the point that his own wife and best friend found him unrecognizable. He survived the night, and lay in a coma for 2 ½ months… and the prognosis to live much less fully recover was grave. He was never expected to talk, walk, regain his sight and function as he once had.52 surgeries later, Jason began his long and painful recovery. Ten years later, through a series of big and small miracles, Jason now travels the country serving as a motivational speaker, sharing his story of hope and optimism.” Jason has a book written about him by author Landon J. Napoleon called ‘Burning Shield: The Jason Schechterle Story’. I had a great time talking with Jason and hope that he gives some sort of an insight for at least one person to see that police officers put their lives on the line everyday to keep people of their communities safe.---This episode is sponsored by· Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app40 min
