    Episode #66 "A Close Call With Death" featuring guest Chris Merrill

    In this episode, we sit down with Chris Merrill to hear his harrowing story of survival. Chris was involved in a devastating ATV accident on the towering sand dunes of Southern Utah—an incident that nearly claimed his life and put his friend and his friend’s son in grave danger. While driving the ATV, Chris unknowingly crested a steep cornice. The vehicle suddenly launched into the air, landing hard on its front end before tumbling violently down the dune. During the crash, Chris was thrown forward repeatedly, his face slamming into the steering wheel multiple times. The impact left him with a severely fractured jaw that spiraled around his skull. Listen in on how this experience affected Chris and his outlook towards life in general and the future ahead of him. Thanks Chris for being on the show!

    Episode #65 A Close Call With Death with guest - Heather VanBorum

    In this powerful episode, we sit down with Heather VanBorum, who survived a devastating accident just five days before Christmas in 2021. While walking through a Costco parking lot in Murray, Utah, Heather was tragically struck by a car—an event that left her with life-threatening injuries, including the traumatic loss of both legs. Thanks to the quick actions of a courageous Good Samaritan, who applied two tourniquets to stop the critical blood loss, Heather's life was saved in those crucial moments. Remarkably, her husband Dan—an ER trauma surgeon—was just 200 yards away, finishing a long shift at the nearby hospital. Tune in to hear Heather's breathtaking story of resilience, survival, and gratitude, and learn how she’s navigating life today after nearly losing it all. Heather, thank you so much for joining us and sharing your incredible journey.
