“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” – Viktor Frankl In this episode Logan and Tyson sit down with Dan Kotter, better known as “The Wheelchair Dad” to millions of followers on social media. In 2013 Dan fell more than thirty feet at a construction site, broke his back, and was left paralyzed from the waist down. Today he’s a husband and a father of six who builds, creates, and shows other families what a full life can look like after tragedy. His videos, including a viral bedroom build for his daughters done entirely from a wheelchair, have reached millions. Dan walks the guys through his journey from the injury to the life he has now, including the hardships that still show up every single day. His mantra, “punch today in the face,” is what stuck with Logan and Tyson most, and it’s a good one to carry into your own week.
