In this episode of The Middle-aged Bodcast, we are joined by inspirational speaker, author and survivor Chris DT Gordon.

Chris shares the incredible story of how a small scratch on his hand led to sepsis, necrotizing fasciitis, also known as flesh-eating bacteria. Chris went through 15 surgeries, an induced coma, and the possibility of losing his arm, but his story isn’t just about survival. It is about recovery, resilience, gratitude, kindness and choosing how you respond when life changes in an instant.

We also talk about Chris’ book From Survivor to Striver, The Attitude of Gratitude, the power of small acts of kindness, getting active again after trauma, marathon running, Comic Cons and why gratitude is not just a feeling, it’s an action.

An inspiring, funny and genuinely uplifting conversation about surviving the unimaginable and finding a way to move forward.
