E229: Jason Dennen - Overcoming your greatest Obstacle

Jason Dennen is on a mission to inspire people by sharing his story of survival and to empower people to get through life’s most challenging hardships by utilizing the lessons they have already learned throughout their lives, and by taking advantage of the strength, they already possess inside themselves.   

Book BRIEF - "8 Days Till Sunrise:  A True Story of Survival, Rebirth, and Discovering My Purpose in Life"

This is a story about a man going down a path he hadn’t intended to go down where he lost his way. He thought he was going through one of life’s difficult trials when he hit the side of a building at high speed in a skydiving accident. And that is when his real trial began. The accident left him in a coma for 8 days. He woke up from a coma to a badly broken body that required him to stay in the hospital for three and a half months, undergo 11 months of rehabilitation, and relearn to walk.  After being told by his doctor he may never be able to run again, he decided to sign up for a triathlon to test the doctor’s prognosis. Less than one year after the accident he completed a triathlon and proved the doctor wrong.  He relied on the foundation he built years before the accident to survive and recover.  He was guided by the scriptures and lessons from the Bible that he learned throughout his life.

The long journey to recovery from the accident allowed him time to reassess the direction of his life and answer the question why was his life spared. This second chance at life revealed to him a new purpose in life. He promised himself that he would share his story, and what he learned to help others that are going through difficult hardships in their own lives.
